I’ve got so carried away with the Red Dog dream these days… And you all know how dreams are: too beautiful to be true. Yet this one is true. And somehow… it’s eating up all my energy.
I looked for a full time job to have more time for my private life and to have time to write my novel. That piece of literature that’s waiting to be completed since the dawn of 2005. Instead I put more time in my new dream, more hopes and, because I don’t dream alone anymore, I fail.
It is hard to explain how I fail, because… I even fail even at understanding that. I don’t have time for myself anymore. I don’t have time for you…
I missed Maria’s birthday (it was on the 7th) despite the reminder, which was on my PC but on the 7th I didn’t get the chance to even touch it…
I fail at getting involved in projects that really matter like P.A.P.A and Blogger Power.
I fail at answering your emails and blog comments in time.
I even fail at communicating with my own colleagues if you can believe that.
I fail at bringing you the weekly blogs of note because… I don’t have time to read other blogs than the ones related to my work now. So here it is: instead of the weekend’s blogs of note entry, this weekend’s Mig is a failure entry.
God help me, because I need someone to unleash my own dream now…

1Mig,
We miss you and want you to get on with all your dreams. But sometimes one dream has to be all-consuming for awhile while you’re adapting to everything that is new in your life. Change takes time. I pray that you will soon make a smooth transition in your job and start having time for your novel and your projects and your friends.

2Don’t be so hard on yourself.
Every new job is a steep learning curve and takes lots of time and energy. You are working with others to unleash a shared dream, and you’re doing a wonderful job. It’s important not to lose yourself in the process, though.
What doesn’t change is your strong spirit and generous nature. Because of that, you have developed a strong community here. We will be here when you are ready. But first, take some time for yourself.
Take care.

3haha Mig.. take care of yourself first …. you won’t believe yesterday (Saturday) morning I got up at 6am and took shower as if to go to work….. completely caught up in that cycle - didn’t even remember until I sat down to have morning coffee and turned on CNN to hear it was Saturday! Last week Friday I had a scheduled day off… and showed up at work!
no I don’t love my work that much, but I do get caught up in projects and a sort of madness about finishing them…. this is by no means a failure … you are putting every ounce of energy to what you want to be successful at and thats how I work too….. This is ‘how’ and this is ‘why’ you are so successful
take a sec and stop by to say a hi…… only a second

4You girls are my strength these days. I wish I had a second, Pearl… only a second. A second more for each task I have to perform now…
But you are right. I know it will all work well in the end. It’s just that now the road seems to cluttered.
Thank you all for your warm support.

6Mig, I think you need to relax a little. The red doggie running around must be eating lots of time if you try entertaining him
When something you really wanted comes your way, it is normal for it to demand exclusivity for a while. After you get used to it being part of your life and integrate it in your life, you then have time for other loves
Like blogging. I am sure you’ll be back soon, so don’t stress yourself out in the mean time. We are here, supporting you

OK… I will: it’s on the same day I will come over to your blog to wish you “Happy Name Day”

8Alina, if you tell me to relax, that’s exactly what I am going to do. I trust your advice. Look… I am relaxing.
Can you see the big big smile on my face?

9Yeah, I can picture it. Now, if you also manage to keep that for let’s say half a day and stop worrying for all that time, I’ll also give you a prize

13Ahhh Mig dear, you are such a sensitive and caring soul!
Life does get unbalanced at times but I feel quite certain you are doing your best to manage so many projects, support so many others, and care for yourself.
Creating dreams is not always easy… especially in the midst of life!
Just know you are loved ….
XO,
Jen
