We just need to remind ourselves to keep adding more to the 'smug' side. Even when they're evenly balanced, the material on the 'crap' side can occupy your thoughts more if you're not careful. Janet, I'd love to add to your 'smug' side if I may. I've just finished reading "Clues to your Calling." I've been wanting to get familiar with all the LTD catalogue material. It's a wonderful book and I read it at a very timely moment! It's warm and easy to read and I appreciated reading your experiences about pursuing your calling for "Footprints" even when you had to pour resources into it. I've been there too. It helped me to consider my own writing as a ministry too. I just wanted to thank you for a great book that not only helps us find our calling, but encourages us to stick to our calling for the long haul even when finances are tight and movement of stock seems slow. Oh BTW, I love your admission about how you bellowed at your squabbling kids. Mine are similar ages and bicker about similar things! Blessings, Paula Vince PS I'm really looking forward to meeting you again at the Writer's Fair. You’re absolutely right, it’s like a set of scales.

I meant to do that! Visit www.mamamia.com.au. Today's Smug: that I have been firm and told my daughter no trick or treating (she is not happy Jan!), along with a number of reasons why. Crap: Hmmm so far so good! But it's only 1pm so give me a chance! Ooops silly me … I meant to do that! Visit http://www.mamamia.com.au.

Today’s Smug: that I have been firm and told my daughter no trick or treating (she is not happy Jan!), along with a number of reasons why.

Crap: that I work from home so somedays I'm here but not really 'here' for them. Again it's that work/life/play balance thing :) Can you post a link to Mia's blog??
