Blogging a Book and a Blessing

There comes a time when you know you need to sit down and regroup, you don’t listen and the universe does you a favor (well kind of) and things start to break down. Now, your only option is to take a seat. At the time it sucks but then you realize it is a blessing. Recently, I’ve had plans for this blog they were swarming in my head, but I also felt like I needed slow down so I could have clear ideas, I also wanted to change it but really didn’t know where to start. As I pushed the momentum wasn’t there. Then someone hacked my blog, I ended up with a computer virus and was forced to stop and it gave me a chance to refocus and create change. So with a wonderful tech specialist and social media expert Faydra Deon saved the day. She had to go in reload and clear files, in the process Calming Corners got a refreshing makeover which is a blessing. I really like the look and I hope you do too.
The content will continue to be strongly focused around wellness but have the flair of culture, beauty and fashion.
While I have you and we are talking about updates and changes, I know it has been a long time coming but my book will be published in 2012. It has been a long journey with a lot of lessons along the way but one thing I’ve learned that in life things come when you are ready. I feel this is the time and I know it is right. My illustrator, editor, designer and I have been working very hard for some time to get it together. I will start sending announcements through the blog for pre-orders.
The Blessing: I feel so blessed to continue my work as a writer and share my journey with you. Thanks for your continued support and I would love to hear your feedback about the new design.
As promised celebratory prizes are on the way so stay tuned!
Peace and Blessings,
Yvelette
