Late last night I took the first step in closing my web design business. I emailed all my clients and let them known we were moving and I wouldn't be doing this anymore. I still have a lot of work pending, and it will be a lot of work getting everyone moved over to there new designers, but we are definitely approaching the end of this particular tunnel.
In a way it was a huge relief. It was getting harder and harder to do the work I needed to and be the mommy I wanted to. It was hard to find the time, and emotional energy, and non-sleep deprived concentration. And then when I would start feeling overwhelmed, I would get stressed out and become mean mommy.
It's also really sad. I have loved working with my clients, be creative and helping people build their organizations and businesses. I loved the interaction, and learning new things, and creating. I will miss all of that.
It was such a blessing for me to learn everything I have over the last few years. I really love design. I know it was the hand of the Lord that got me into it, what with my Sociology degree and all. :) It's been a huge blessing for our family the last few years, too.
But, right now, being a mommy is the most important thing. Omar is working enough now, and full time soon, that we don't need the money to survive. So we decided that it was time to let it go and let me focus on being nice mommy more often.
Times they are a-changing!
