So, after my last very optimistic post I found out how quickly margin can disappear: Emotional, physical, time, and money all in the space of about a week. Wiped out. It only takes a couple of unexpected events, plus some bad timing, a few sleepless nights, and suddenly BAM, you're back to square one. If that.
But I'm not giving up. If anything I am doubling down on creating margin in the areas where I have control. I have finished the book and--thank goodness--found some things that I am doing right already among the many things that I need to improve.
And I realize that if I hadn't already been working on creating margin, the couple of horrible weeks that I had could have been worse.
I have some steps that I am going to be taking to create more margin. More about that as I solidify plans.

I'm not so good at that. When the going gets tough, I'm so inclined to throw up in my hands and say, "Oh, why bother?" But I'm working on it.
