The Hurriedness of Hurricane Fay

Monday Madness! That’s what we are naming today. Hurricane Fay is headed this way and she has stepped up her time frame. Why is she in such a hurry anyway? I wanted to let all know that we will be in preparations for her arrival today. Busy, busy, busy. Vehicles to move, trailer to park, hanging plants to bring in, bikes to store, various and sundry things out and about, extra water and gas to get, and securing our RV. I will likely be the only person who WON’T be food shopping today. LOL! I always have food on hand. J

So, send out some prayers for us Florida folk as we all take time to prepare for her arrival. We are right in the center of the 2 perspective landfall areas, so either way; we will be getting some serious winds and rain. Also, I will likely not be able to answer emails today. If we lose power for any length of time, I may not be able to reply for a few days, so don’t think I am not getting them or am ignoring you…as if you would every think such things.

For my Digging Out of Debt students, you should still receive your class materials, regardless of Fay. They have been set to automated and all known glitches have been repaired. BUT, if you do have a problem go ahead and email and I will be available as much as possible!

For those who are kind of stunned by my relaxed issue with good ol Fay, she isn’t that big or strong. Once preparations are complete, we are looking forward to just hanging out and having some snuggly fun time. They have already closed my husband’s plant and we are definitely excited to have him home for an extra day. YIPEE! Fay is nothing compared to what we have dealt with in the past, but we don’t want to be complacent, either. J

Have a FABULOUS Monday, and I will see you back here ASAP! Back to Monday Madness!

These are my thoughts.

Restoring Balance To Completely Overloaded Lives… with Cindy Rushton

Overloaded!  Busy! Hurried! Overworked! Stressed! Rushed! Relate?? This is reality for most in our culture today--EVEN homeschooling families! We exceed our limits. We take on WAY TOO MUCH! We write checks that our body and mind cannot cash!  Everything (and EVERYONE) suffers. It gets harder and harder to hear God as He whispers direction, encouragement, and wisdom along our path. We miss the best! We wonder why we end our days empty and without meaning or accomplishment. We forget what is most important—or at minimum, put it off for another day.  The important seldom screams for attention, but the urgent, often insignificant, constantly screams for MORE and more! We get so busy and distracted doing the urgent and demanding in life that we lose the opportunity to impact the important, that in which we are given to leave a legacy! So, how on earth do we get out of this rat race? How are we to restore balance? If we could restore balance, how could we maintain balance?  How could we make life really count for something?  In this workshop, Cindy shares what the Lord has taught her He pulled me back from so many GOOD things to restore balance and keep me on the path to leaving a legacy! Join Cindy for a workshop that will change your life as it has changed hers!

So the live part of the Ultimate Homeschool Expo 2008 is over. Well, mostly over. There are still a few make-up sessions to participate in. For that I am grateful, because I get to hang out with many of you and THAT is FUN! Better than that, it will give me more chances to give away Free Gifts and Doorprizes!

Speaking of Free Gifts, if you participated on either Friday or Saturday, don’t think you have been forgotten. I am having trouble with my email out here in the campground. That’s camping! Have no worries, I will be getting those last Free Gifts at the beginning of next week when I return to my normal computer. YEAH! Something to look forward to…ALWAYS Fun!

Well, our camping holiday is going great. The weather has been perfect. Sunny, but not to hot during the days. Cool in the evening w/o too many bugs. That doesn’t happen often here in SW FL, so we are really loving it!

We can’t wait for Daddy to come join us, that’s for sure. We have all missed him. But he will be here before we know it!

So what’s in store here at the Journey to Simplicity? Well, Next week I will return to my normal schedule of postings. In addition, I will be answering specific questions! SO, if you have a question about how to live more simply or frugal ideas, email me at Leslie@leslievaleska.com!

I am cooking something up for tomorrow while on holiday, but that’s the only hint you are getting. Post a guess on this post and the first one to guess what the post will be, will receive a Free Gift! And You KNOW how much I love giving away Free stuff! So start guessing ladies!

Well, this has been along stint away for me, eh? Life has been calling and that is always a priority for us. But it is so exciting! We have been working through so much, that it is exciting just to see God's intimate workings in our lives.

The biggest is that the hubby has just started a business. It won't ever make us a fortune, but we don't care. We know God will use it to meet our needs, which is all we ask. He will be working his business part time with a goal of sustaining our family exclusively within six months. Although that's his goal, our reality goal is a year. There has been so much work involved in the start-up, I had no idea! Just dealing with banks about business accounts has had my head spinning. Do you know every bank we have dealt with has said they are teh best in the industry for business banking? Now, how can that be? Self proclaimed titles have been wearing on my nerves, can ya tell? Hopefully all of our governement paperwork will be approved by week's end, then we have to really get shaking. Which also means that we have been workingon developing a training course for the hubby's assistant (our son). This is whole different type of world he will be stepping into, so he needs extensive schooling. Oh did I say school, I meant training. Funny how homeschoolers can utilitze life for education. THAT in mind, I have to revamp his schedule so that he can do job training AND school. That is going to change our schedule considerably, but that's where we are. =)

With all this you would think I would be exhausted, but I have been working on a few articles and getting some GREAT freebies together for YOU! Many authors have accepted the invitation to offer YOU encouragement and support over at Simple Journey Ministries. So I ahve been trying to put time into that schedule of events. Simple Journey Bookstore is about to have something REALLY GREAT happen! Oh it is going to be so good! (hint hint: free stuff!) So those have been keeping me busy too.

But just for kicks and giggles we thought a bit of extra chaos would be a super challenge for our family! So we have been looking at our calendars and schedules for the next 8 months or so. We have developed periodical check points that will help us make decisions when needed. I highly recommend this for all families! It is a great way to have a little pre-planning for some what ifs. Nothing too intricate, just something such as, if your family is away from home more than 4 days per week you will then need to decrease something else. Or if your business takes 20% or more time than previously, you will have to drop an activity to compensate. Priorities and realizing we are human and it is better to put your family first doing a few things with well than a lot of things mediocrely is very important. That said we have worked out our check point plan to help keep a perspective on family even with a full time job, a part time job, 2 businesses, writing, and homeschooling. When things get to a certain point, we have put in place options to choose from to keep our focus where God wants it, on our family.

Now, I have also been clearing my schedule to attend the Ultimate Homeschool Expo 2008. If you are interested in learning more click on any of the banners above. It IS THE best conference for homeschoolers!

So without further ado, let's read some great posts about living simply! Wahoo!

Hi all! As I have been working on the NEW Journey to Simplicity website, one of my goals has been to get all my subscribers here transferred over with ease. After a few failed attempts, I believe all subscribers should get an email today asking if they would like to receive information from Journey to Simplicity.

SO, if you have already signed up here, you do not need to sign up on the NEW Journey to Simplicity. Just follow the instructions to approve the requested info and YOU will begin to receive the Journey to Simplicity Ezine, monthly FOR FREE!

HOWEVER, if you already signed up over at the NEW Journey to Simplicity, simply disregard the new email, so as not to cause you to be double signed up.

If you should happen to receive double emails, just let me know and I will take care of that for you.

If you ahve any questions please contact me at: Leslie@leslievaleska.com

THANK YOU!

Oh, the last few days have been fun! We spent some time relaxing and visiting with family from New York. The weather was PERFECT for the beach, even if the water felt was frigid!

A quick thank you to all who participated in the online seminar today! I had a BLAST!

Please make certain to contact me at Leslie@leslievaleska.com with any questions or topics you would like me to consider. I LOVE hearing from all of you!

Today there was some chatter about salad ideas. Tomorrow I will dig in to looking for those posts and placing them back on top!

Today is Tuesday, which means I am behind on posting on Tightwad Tuesday and writing for Homesteadblogger’s Front Porch. For those of you who are new to the Journey to Simplicity, every Tuesday I write an article regarding Going Green and/or Frugal/Simple Living. If you have a moment, hop on over to the Front Porch and click on Going Green or Frugal & Simple Living on the right sidebar to read past articles. Next week, I will be speaking about three lifestyles and how YOU CAN travel on those paths!

A SPECIAL THANKS to all of you who have been with me for some time. I appreciate your patience while I took time away from  you to work on the websites, etc. I hope this will serve you better! Any suggestions, PLEASE contact me at the above email.

Have  GREAT rest of the day!

Well, I am flat exhausted, but the website is going to be worth it! Later this evening I will post something pies, family fun, and the english muffin recipe.

Just wanted to ask all who read this within the next few hours for a small prayer. Littleton #3 has tryouts for his first real competitve hockey team today. we leave in about an hour. Unlike most current sports, this is a real tryout. There is a chance he will not make a team. Please pray for him to do his best, be satisfied with is best, regardless of the outcome. We have been talking about God's will in all this, and he seems to get it, but when the spotlight is on, he may not react appropriately. With that in mind, please pray for Thomas and I to be the parents God would have us be in this.

Thanks for your time and prayers! See ya later.

These are my thoughts.

Did you think I was going to tell you about Easter? Well, yes, Easter is almost here as I just realized yesterday. How could I notknow that Easter was just around the corner?

Because I have been working long hours on the new website. After much brain aching and little sleep, the website is getting closer to being ready. I am really excited about the new vision coming to fruition! Soon you will be able to access more FREE info, get a FREE e-zine that will have tons of FREE goodies, navigate specific topics more easily, and visit...well, that's a secret. I can't give everything away, now can I?

The new website is being designed to serve YOU! We all need encouragement and support on this journey and that is just what you will find there! I hope you have been anticipating it's opening as much as I have.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, while I continue to work. Please pray for me as I continue on this task.

These are my thoughts.

There has been a little family chaos keeping me away from the puter. We had a lot of activities in the earlier part of the week. Then we needed to prepare for the stellar and most sought after social event of the season...Remember the Lyrics Slumber Party...hosted by my elderton dd. This really WAS a blast! Even I learned a new dance. Afterwards we spent the weekend preparing for this week, which will be our planning week.

The hubby and I had a desire to more intentionally seek God's plan for our family and make some check points to see how we are doing throughout the year. It is also a time for us to reconnect as a couple level...instead of being simply parents adn/or business partners. If you are interested in reading more about Purposeful Planning for your family, simply hop on over to the author, Phyllis Sather's,  site, Phyllis-Sather.com. This is THE one book I would recommend for families wanting to achieve more of what God desires of them, in a real setting!

So this week, posts will probably shoot up at a variety of times throughout the day. Have no fear, though, they are ready for YOU! Also, I will be in need of one or two regular readers to help me with the new website soon. I need critics to use it and let me know what works, what doesn't, what they like, what they don't etc. If you are interested in doing so, please let me know.

Ok, now back to our originally scheduled program....

Oh do I have something GREAT to share with all of you! I am so excited, I am can't type as fast as my brain is thinking! YIKES!

A few questions first?

How is your marriage? Are you on the same page? Would you like a get-away to just connect? Don't know what to do with the children? You will LOVE this resource! Practical how-to's from a very real mom.

Does having your spouse’s undivided attention appeal to you? Planning weekends give you time to dream, to talk together about what you wish, or want, at a time when the other person is really listening.

Do you need a plan to keep your family moving in the direction the Lord is leading you? Perhaps you don’t know where the Lord is leading you.

Phyllis takes you step-by-step through the process of planning a time together for your family to help determine the path the Lord is choosing for each area of your life. Her family has followed this format for over 12 years and has found that it provides the compass they’ve needed to plan and stay on course.

Phyllis Sather 's Purposeful Planning...well, I recieved it and dug in immediately. It is one of the best marriage and family resources I have ever purchased! It is so good I have been unable to put it down. It's 2:30 am and I am not going to bed until I reach the end! It's that good!!! AND it is only $8.00! Every home should have this resource available, so click here to get your copy TODAY! This would be a GREAT Valentine's Day present for you and the hubby! (Oh, if you order today, it will be delivered to your inbox and you can start digging in tonight and be planning your getaway date by Valentine's Day!)

Ok, I didn't tell you everything. If you click on this link and purchase Purposeful Planning, you will be getting MORE! Cindy Rushton has thrown in a bundle of goodies!

I think no one noticed. I was having an issue with my blog. I think in trying to re-vamp this little beauty, I maybe may have been ever so slightly over zealous in my efforts to use my new knowledge. Well, in short I messed something up with the calendar. No one noticed, but the Superbowl post actually read Feb 3, instead of the 4th. I think I have it fixed. If I score an A on this post, I will be able to put up the missing entries. Thanks for your patience!

These are my thoughts.

Remember in the beginning of the month I posted that Journey to Simplicity was going to uinveil some great changes to better serve you? Well, have no fear. Those changes are still on the way. I got in a bit over my head with the techy stuff and had to recruit a fine geek of my very own.

As a little clue: complete plans and ideas all in one spot. Yep, everything about cooking veg will be located in one space, deep cleaning will have it's own space, homesteading, putting food by, healthful living, organization, homeschooling, food prep, cooking, homemaking.

Keep on the look out, because you are going to LOVE it!
