As I write this I am in my bathtub enjoying a soak for the purposes of sanity, medical remedy, and to make me not smell awful! It’s been nine months since I have written anything on my blog for a couple reasons, but there have been some cosmetic change which I will delve into later, but for the time being let’s just say I cannot afford to share my work anymore…
Today was a snow day for my children. YAY! Right?! I agree, but you know what happens to a work-from-home father? He has to stay on his children and doesn’t get nearly the work done he would if they were at school! Not complaining though because o have worked in the corporate environment, the work from car social worker field, and the school environment, and let me tell you I’d take this over anything any day. I am very fortunate to be able to work from home and spend the time with my children; and on days they are at school my productivity is tripled! God has given me a gift and I am very happy for said gift!
You can see that I have removed anything “professionally” related to my graphic design and work related things, that is because I was made aware of some things and I removed them. For here on out my professional work will never be under my name, I will share some of the near things that I am working with, but there will be no “advertising” of what I do… I don’t want people to think I am still a freelancer, because I am, but I am not. My freelancing is all “free” work for NPO’s that I am involved with.
I have recently started doing introspective posts on Instagram and I think that what I am going to do is add them on this site as well, I hear that it helps SEO! Haha! Not that I really cared if people read what I put up here, but I do want people to know that there is still an element of what I am doing that I feel I can help people with. Anyway; these introspections, if you will, have been a walk back on my views and my journeys through life, parenthood, being a Christian in a non-Christian America, a Veteran, and a husband. I don’t do them everyday, heck, I don’t do them every week, but I do them when the world has me at a stumble or a hmm moment. I don’t know if they help others, but they help me. The whole “introspection” element to it. I can look back and see my thoughts and remind myself of what I am going through at the time and realize there is always a way back to happier times… To… Ah-ha moments! That to steal from my friend John Burk, “Look to the sunrise” moments!
I’ve been doing a Bible study on Tuesday mornings at 0600, sometimes it’s easy to get up; other times it’s rough, but it’s always enlightening! My friend Mike Davis, (jmichaeldavis.com) has been guiding me through that study and it’s always a pleasure and some times it’s very difficult to stop the study because we are introspective together about our faith. This has been a game changer for me because frankly the whole Covid-19 agenda has me wrapped all in knots, and not being able to do the normal study (that I am supposed to be leading) is aggravating.
In the last few months things have been very odd financially. I think that I noted that I don’t do anything freelance anymore, but that’s because everything I am doing for Blue Byte has been that. However; I have been recruited by a few places, I have turned down a few places as well, but then interestingly I was offered a position within an “established” new company as their marketing associate/manager/director and I have accepted that on top of my Blue Byte duties! This to me is exciting! The company is called ModWay Homes and my first job is to be diligent and learn and create cohesive branding! This is in my wheelhouse and I love it! It’s with a friend from church, Adam Cobane! Excited to be on board and excited to make things happen! I am continuing my work with Blue Byte because it is my love to design websites for clients and do graphics and photography for more than one brand! But God is good and I am here to serve!
Alright, that’s all my time for now, I’ll try to be better on this blogging thing – if nothing else, but for me to read back on! Questions, comments leave them in the comments below.
Until next time:
