Broken Plate
Broken Plate-
I had a completely different post ready for today. But, I have postponed it until next week. In the past I have shared with you when I reached the sad realization that I can’t do it all. When I threw in the towel with Avon, let go of two other blogs and cut back on some of my services for Blog Art by Katherine. Albert Einstein said it best with his definition of insanity; Insanity “is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”. Well that’s me, my sweet bloggy friends, its official, I’m a nutter! I spin a lot of plates (wear a lot of hats) and even put on my super woman cape and spend 14 hours a day on the computer. But, I just can’t get it all done. I just can’t keep all of the plates spinning and this week a plate fell and this broken plate is a doozey.
I will spare you all of the details of my broken plate and the subsequent embarrassment. Instead, I will grab some glue and put it back together as best I can. When I sent out the invitation asking if you would like to be one of my co-hostesses for the Thursday Favorite Things blog hop (you can still link up until midnight tonight by the way) I was truly overwhelmed by the response I received. It still makes my heart skip a beat. Thank you ALL so very much! Angelina of Peonies and Orange Blossoms contacted me early on. We had a few back and forth emails and when I didn’t hear back from her I moved on to the next bloggy friend. Well here it comes…grab the glue and can one of you keep spinning that plate over there for a minute please. Angelina had responded with a big yes to the responsibilities of being a co hostess. I completely missed her email. Thankfully she wrote a follow up email the other day! Yikes! She graciously accepted my apology and expressed her enthusiasm about being a co- hostess. Please join me in welcoming Angelina and all of the other new and returning co –hostesses. We are going to rock blog land with the best darn Thursday linky party ever!
Have a great weekend everyone, See you back here on Monday.
“May the Lord bless you and keep you; may He let His grace shine upon you and be gracious to you; may the Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace.” Numbers 6:24-6:26 NIV
It happens! Just take things easy, my sweet friend!

Women burned their bras back in the 1960s…2016 is the year to burn that Superwoman cape once and for all!!! When we try to do it all we certainly don’t do anything well and stress ourselves out in the process. So, what is the date for the bonfire??
You are amazing, I have always wondered how the heck you do all you do! I am glad you are slowing down a bit! Hope you are safe and warm this weekend!
Thanks for the big welcome! Sometimes we are all super busy and thinks happen. As long as it’s just a broken plate (and not a broken arm or broken heart!) Just don’t run yourself ragged! Keep calm and carry on, as they say!
You are amazing…inspirational…and the reason I wanted to return. We all break plates…and most of us experience broken hearts over the broken plates. But, my dear Katie, you are rare with your love and concern…grace…and smiles. Just keep doing what you are doing.
You are so right! We all can’t do everything! Love this post and love your heart!

I am glad you have cut back, I was worried about you! I know i have, yesterday I cut my finger pretty bad and smashed my other finger in the car door, all for trying to do so much! its sometimes males me laugh, but read my post about Causal Saturday http://www.simplenaturedecorblog.com/casual-saturday/ and it important to just relax.

Hi Katherine,
We have the best blog hop in blog land…The more the merrier! Spinning plates is what we do. I am excited to meet our new co-hostess.
Joyously,
Betty

I myself am guilty of taking on the Super Woman persona! I am so glad you realized that you have more fun and satisfaction by sharing. After all, that is what Thursday Favorite Things is all about! Congratulations to all the party cohosts that have the pleasure of working with and knowing Katherine as well as each other.
Aw, I totally get this and yes I take on more than I can chew many days here, as well. sO definitely cut yourself some slack and I welcome your new co-host, too now. Thanks as always just for being you Katie and have a wonderful weekend now, too!! xoxo <3
Women are notorious for trying to do too much. I’m afraid I probably miss emails all of the time. Working full-time as a teacher does not leave much time for blogging or quilting I’m afraid.
