Lisa,
My energy was good after the podcast yesterday, one more scary thing off the to-do list.
Yup, my brother from Toronto came to visit this afternoon. It went well, and he is gone now. So I've had some time for some emails and some foruming.
Was surprised to see it was almost 2 wks since I'd posted anything new on Ncubator, figured it was time, so it didn't get lonely.
Once I have an idea to write about I find writing for ncubator one of my more restful and revitalizing pastimes. I even enjoy the uploading of the articles to the site.
The phrase in the title was one of those things that popped into my head one day, and I suddenly had an idea for an article. Used it in a blog post within a day or two, took a few weeks for the article to gel. But that's what I like best, a word or phrase or sentence just appears in my head. I start to write and it sort of writes itself. Fun.
We do have to think long term. We forget sometimes which is why I wrote about it. Because I often forget this and it can bring me to grief when I do. Just trying to share an insight that might save someone else some bumps along the way.
And housebuilding -- oooh, yeah, takes a major adjustment in planning and thinking, big time. But things will work out for you, that is my hope.
Thanks for the encouragement. And the shadow puppets. I guess if you are doing the dog (as opposed to the elephant) it would be shadow puppies.
