Take your passion and make it happen.... Then write a blog about it!

This isn't my first blog. Neither is it my only blog, although I haven't blogged elsewhere for over a month now. Two of my sites haven't even been touched for a year. I know that for sure because my baby girl turns one in a couple of days and, after she was born, I only had time for 'Go Momma!'. I even set up an anonymous WordPress blog for those posts that I deemed unsuitable for my family and friends to read ~ for one reason or another. That blog is still a 'virgin'. It turned out that blogging lost a lot of appeal when I knew from the upshot that no one would be reading it.

So that makes Feel the Vibe blog #5.

I used to be what could only be described as an avid blogger. I would pump out a new story ~ usually about my kids ~ daily, and sometimes even twice a day if I was stranded for any length of time on the couch with a baby on my breast. A blogging friend dubbed me the 'cranker'. He imagined me like a journalist furiously typing away in a valiant effort to reach a deadline, with friction smoke billowing out of my typewriter wheel as I cranked away! I was proud of that nickname. But then something I didn't expect happened. I burnt out.

Earlier this year I decided to take a blogging break during lent. I could reassess the time I was investing in blogging and determine whether there was a more productive or profitable use of my time. I thought I might compile my stories into an eBook. But the temptation to blog was too great and I broke 'lent' to write a funny blog about Texas laws on vibrators. After some very interesting research into the subject I found myself signing up as a Passion Parties consultant.

I didn't see the end of my writing 'career' coming until I had already replaced whatever void blogging had been filling in my life. It wasn't a permanent fix. I'd just slapped a band-aid on it. My band-aid of choice was Facebook pages. First 'Go Momma!' and soon after 'Feel the Vibe'.

My day job is being a full-time mother or stay-at-home-mother as we say in the business. I do this out of choice. I opted to leave a promising oilfield career to crawl around on the floor all day with my rug-rats. And for the most part I love what I do. I also love chocolate but if I had it rammed down my throat 24/7 I might start to look for another form of stimulation. 

I also love to write, and that's why a mommy blog worked for me. It was a combination of my two passions. 'Go Momma!' originally transpired from my need to build a writer's portfolio in view of a writing career. You might not know this but no one ever got rich off blogging (except maybe Single Dad Laughing). If I was going to be taking that much time away from my family it needed to be a paying gig. Ad-sense wages amounting to $5/month weren't really cutting it. A part time job that might actually pay some bills was what was required here, and Passion Parties is my perfect solution.

Any regular reader of 'Go Momma!' can vouch for my frequent digression into the realms of 'passion' or lack thereof as a mommy of three babies. Without going into any sordid details, my own path to sexual enlightenment has been quite a journey, with many kinks along the way. Having shared stories with women over the years I'm convinced that companies like Passion Parties and what we stand for are imperative to the survival of a free modern day marriage. We do a great service to women all across the Americas and are saving relationships as I write. In four short months I already have testimonials supporting this.

I don't have a history in direct sails ~ unless you want to count my Saturdays as a teen selling Clark's shoes. I hated sales. I hated hovering near the entrance and greeting the customer. I felt like a lurker waiting to pounce on my prey before sucking his/her pockets dry. It's taken me until now to realize I had missed the point. I guess I just wasn't that passionate about shoes!

Since creating Passion Parties by Josie I've managed to squeeze in a 'Go Momma!' blog here and there. And though many of my kids' capers have been captured on Facebook most of our stories are recorded only in memory ~ the good old fashioned way. I've wanted to blog terribly but there are only so many hours in a day. Like the kids and Daddy, Momma has a limited amount of 'screen' time, and with a new business in the works ~ most of that time is pumped into promoting Passion Parties by Josie. I'm ambitious and determined to make this a success, and I'm not afraid of a little hard work. I am afraid of neglecting my kids though.

There may not be enough room in my life for passionate mommy blogging at the moment, however, a passionate blog that promotes my passion business?? Maybe I really can have it all!
