I love quotes! I collect them, I read them, I post them on social media as well as physically on my inspiration board above my desk. Throughout the years I have written words and thoughts of my own in my notebooks. This is just one of the 52 in my book/workbook, Project 52. Today I was encouraged to begin sharing these with my audience. Let me know what you think?

Hello friends,
Recently I lost all my document files on my computer and wanted to share this with you. My tech-savvy guy had offered to take care of something for me and I never checked back on it even though I had small clues now and then that I should have paid attention to. I won’t mention names but I live with him. This taught me a big lesson. After losing my mind and getting angry, I calmed down and asked myself “so what should I do now?” I began by looking through thumb drives and found a few files there. Everything else was gone for good. Which led me to the next step.
First I decided to make this a new start. Meaning that maybe it was time to let go of what I lost and begin a new way of teaching, documenting, and simplifying my notes. After all, nobody can take from me what I know and love in my heart. To live and breathe creativity is a big part of me!
Next, we took a vacation to the Sonoma Valley in California. Yes, I forgave him and took a trip with him. In the scheme of things, I told myself they were just files. Although I had to repeat that to myself several times, eventually and after a lot of great wine, I felt much better.
And the biggest thing I learned was that I alone am responsible for tech support results and learning yet another computer lesson was a good thing in the end. So back up your files, ask questions, and get help when you need it. ~Maria
