I Didn't Stop Following You -No Matter What It Looks Like!

Did I get your attention with my title today? Or did I get your attention when it looked like I stopped following you today?


Let me tell you what's going on in my real life the last couple of weeks. Hopefully it will explain everything to your satisfaction. I blogged last week about trying to get a signature loan from the bank because I wanted some start up money to go into business for myself. I did get the loan, with my husband co-signing (I feel so identity-less). And now I'm in the process of splitting myself into to identities. I will remain the person I've been the last decade - Scott's wife, Joshua, Jonathan and Faith's mom, so and so's neighbor, so and so's daughter, etc. I'm fine with this. I'm proud to be Scott's wife, Joshua, Jonathan, and Faith's Mom and so and so's daughter. And I will continue with this identity.


My second identity is as president, owner and CEO of Corrin M. Howe, L.L.C. I'm really excited about this new identity. For the past two months I have actually left my house and started meeting a number of fascinating people who live and work in my community. I plan to combine my love of writing with my love of advocating for others. I'm planning on blogging about the local small business owners here in Southern Maryland. For example, I sat down and spoke to Bobby Unkle for an hour last week. He and I both hope he will one day fix my shared driveway. (At the moment we have one neighbor who thinks he wants to do something different with the road.; however, he hasn't called anyone out for an estimate.)


I walked away from my meeting with Bobby with two impressions, humble and pride. Humble came to mind because it took awhile to draw him out; however, once I did, I could tell he had a lot of pride in what he's accomplished in his excavating business. This week I'm talking to Tracey Eno of Pre-Paid Legal Services. The little bit of research I've done into her company is fascinating. Wow, what a concept to be able to pay a monthly flat fee and know my family can have an attorney when needed. I also like the idea that her company  monitors my personal identity for fraud. Unlike most companies, her's not only watches my identity but it will actually clear up any theft of my identity and follow through on convicting the person who stole it!


By splitting my identities into two, I needed to organize myself or else go crazy. So I started a new Google Account under my corporation name. I unfollowed many of the blogs I follow and moved them the my new Google account. One Google account I'm keeping for my hobby of blogging and one I'll have for my business of writing and blogging. The blogs I feel fit better into my business writing and research, I moved over Corrin M. Howe, L.L.C. I'm using my same profile picture. I hope by having two separate accounts, I can keep up with reading and commenting on all my favorite blogs. I hope to have a better system in place than I've been using lately.


I can already tell you I feel much better fowarding half my email to the other account. Now both email accounts look and feel manageable. I can actually see what needs to be handled immediately and what can wait for a little bit. If you feel I lost you in the transfer, please let me know.

I plan to update my Autism Blog roll now that I've picked up some tricks while organizing myself. And I hope to clean up this site a little bit and make it "more unified" - something I learned at the SITS Bloggy Boot Camp. Something else I learned there, I can't do it all a once, so the changes will be slow. I hope you'll hang with me.


I also hope that Jonathan will start giving me material again soon. He's not been as creative, funny or as "Aspie" lately. The best that he's done recently was yelled through the main floor bathroom door, "I hate exploding poop!" Thanks for sharing, but it wasn't enough for a blog post.
