I was catching up on my favorite blogs when I decided to make a quiet moment period and reflect on what I read in Marni Pehrson’s post on

“E-Myth: Delegated, Automated, Now What?“

What she had to say really struck a cord with me.

Since being released from the corporate world earlier this year, I have been guilty of spending every waking moment ‘working’ and not enjoying the freedom I have now.

I had been used to putting in at least 12 hours a day from 4 a.m. to 4 p.m. only to come home and crash for a nap. The purpose of this was to re-energize me to do my housework, then retreat to the office until 10-11 pm doing internet stuff, stopping occasionally to see what my son had created on his game or PC and to see what my hubby was watching on TV.

While I don’t get up that early anymore, I caught myself doing this ‘work’ routine, perhaps to replace my salary?

In her article she says she goes to her garden in the morning, then sits and writes in her journal.

I had and “Ah -HA!” moment.

Thanks Marnie, You may have saved my mental state from eroding.

Magazine on stands now.

ARTISTRY® essentials polishing scrub is recommended in the June 2009 issue of Shape magazine.

The product is featured in the “Fight Skin Cancer While You Sleep” article, found on pages 72-82. On the third page of the story there’s a section called “Give your sunscreen a head start,” in which the writer recommends ARTISTRY essentials polishing scrub as a gentle exfoliator for the face that will help remove dead skin cells and better prepare the skin to absorb the active ingredients in sunscreen.
