I thought I should have a brief mention of what it is like to run your own home eneterprise. Needless to say, you need to be dedicated as there is only yourself to motivate and get work done.
I am enjoying what I am doing at present. It is a very nice feeling to be doing something I love and getting paid to do it. It is also lovely to be giving something back, so to speak.  The feeling you get when somebody takes the time to write to you and let you know that they have enjoyed your poem, or that their recipient was so touched that they keep on mentioning it, is just an absolute joy. That said though, I am looking for new and exciting ways to use my talents. Answers on a postcard please!
There is also the issue of keeping a work/home balance when the two become intertwined. I found it very easy to slip into working 16-20 hours a day, just because I could. But of course that is not sustainable long term. I have worked hard to find some dedicated time for my enterprise whilst still leaving time for the children. I think the key is to pace yourself, and prioritise those tasks you need to do against the ones you would like to do.
Long may the harmonious balance last!
For example, today is a glorious sunny day, I am looking out over the hills for inspiration while my children play happily outdoors. Heaven!

I've gone a bit ultra modern and got a twitter account. Seems to be the in thing so I thought I would give it a go. Would be lovely to chat to some of my previous customers. I'm not really sure it is my thing but there is no harm in trying.
Social networking seems to have exploded over the last few years. It wasn't a cool thing to do when I first started using the net, but now everyone is at it.
Funny how times change.
Perhaps I shall see a few of you over there! Look forward to chatting.

Funny title you may think. With continuing support from my wonderful customers, I Want A Poem is going from strength to strength. Spring and Summer are wonderful times for writing happy love filled poetry. So much inspiration to be drawn from the blooming blossoms, blue skies and warm winds.
Recent commissions for personalised poetry have included acrostics, a 75th birthday poem, a poem for a new love interest, a poem dedicated to someone who was giving away the Bride and a poem on behalf of a little girl who had sadly just lost her Nana.
I experience such a range of emotions writing these poems. It's like you are given a little window or a snapshot of somebody's life; And then it is my job to encapsulate that snapshot of emotion into something personal that will be kept and re-read time and again. It really is an honour to have worked with some of the lovely people who have contacted me over the last year or so and I look forward to working with many of them again as new and exciting "occasions" happen for them.

Anything you want to say, anyday of the year. Say it with a poem.
