I have been posting my blog but stopped when i got queries from subscribers about why I haven’t been posting.  I was surprised because I was sending posts.  I found out that there was a problem with Feedburner.  When I checked to see where the problem was, it appeared that I was not the only publisher whose posts were not being published.

I couldn’t find out anymore information so I decided to stop posting and wait for a solution.  Recently, I checked back and it appears the problem has been corrected.  I am posting this to apologize to my subscribers for the lapse and to test the system. 

Please leave me a comment or send a email that this post has been received.  I want to continue womeninspiritualexpression.com because I enjoy the people I have met through it.  I will restart posting.  I hope to hear from you soon.

Weather the Weather

The last few days I have been talking about the problems I am having with subscribers getting emails.  I am not alone.  There are many posts on the Google/Feedburner help site, stating the same or similar problems. 

I posted something yesterday because a post was emailed the day before to one of the accounts.  Today, I checked and what I published last night was not sent.  This is one of the most frustrating things to happen to new business or ministry. 

One of the things that people look for in new businesses is stability and continuity.  As a business, it is vital to project the professionalism that will make others trust in you.  It is especially difficult when you do not have control over certain aspects of your image projection. 

So, what do you do when you are a start up and there are problems with vendors after the launch that are affecting your image and quite possibly potential future clients?

One thing I know to do is to keep going.  You must weather the weather. When I launched this project it was to show that if your dream is important, you must be prepared to go after it even when you are in a crisis or problem situation.  My first thought was to quit the updates until the problems with Google/Feedburner were resolved.  I have not missed an update since I launched this blog. So, I quickly tossed that idea because at some point I would have to update that activity and it is too early to give up on my dream

What I realize is that sometimes we employ that ‘I told you so’ attitude as our internal talk.  We dash our own dreams at the first sign of struggle.  It crossed my mind.  But my dream is important to me.  I intend to weather this problem and those to come because I am determined to reach my goals and live the life that I want.  So, if you are struggling with some issue in your business or ministry, hang in there.  “Trouble don’t last always.”
