alternativeSOHO

It’s astonishing how easy it is for one to lose one’s soul in internet marketing. So many e-mails flying around promising to reveal the next massive money-maker and so many, often contradictory, articles and reports promising the best way to earn money. Suddenly, it doesn’t seem so astonishing. In fact, I wonder how more people aren’t lost and disillusioned on this crooked road. Continue reading →

Breathing is one of the most natural things we do; without so much as a second though, we breath — it’s automatic. It’s no wonder we rarely get enough oxygen to our brains. Continue reading →

It’s easy to move horizontally once you forget about your goals and desires. And it’s easy to forget your true goals and desires if you don’t revisit them often, and revise them as each one is accomplished to your satisfaction.

Much of that is what happened to me in the past 6 months or so. I became busy, and I was able to use that as an excuse not to progress and soon, I found myself not enjoying my days as much as I used to. That, of course, is changing as I revisited my passions and am refining my goals.

The Alternative SOHO is back online, in a sense. It’s been nearly two years since the last entry was posted and it’s time to resurrect this website.

First, some background. This website is my first official online presence. When I initially registered the domain, I knew I wanted this site to be different from all the other work at home and online business websites. I planned to focus on the mind, body, spirit connection as a core aspect of working from home. Reading through the archive has brought back a lot of wonderful memories and a lot of amazing reminders.

Unfortunately, this site was forced offline due to hosting. The hosting provider I had at the time was constantly being hacked into (unbeknownst to me) and one day, I came to my site and it was riddled with errors. Logging into the hosting account revealed that the host had tried to re-implement an old back up of the site, but the back up itself was corrupt and incomplete. Luckily, I had made my own back up of the files and decided to immediately move my site to a more stable and secure hosting provider. To say this process was long and tedious would be an understatement.

Instead of dealing with all that it entailed, I slapped up a “temporarily offline” notice and allowed other matters to take the forefront of my life. Now, I’m starting to feel the void that this website filled and now is the right time to get it back up and running again.

While the site is actually online (you’re welcome to peruse the archives, most of the content is still valid and, I hope, inspirational), it’s not fully resurrected just yet. That will probably happen over the next few months.

Some posts from the past which you may enjoy and give you a feel for the flow of this site:

• Know Why You Do What You Do
• Working Through the Pain
• The Garbage Can Fairy
• Random Acts of Kindness
• Getting Motivated and Staying Motivated
• Today I Took For Granted
• We Are All Someone’s Angel At Some Time
• Build Your Website Right the First Time
• Money: The Rules of Engagement
• Forgiveness Is Good Medicine

I’ve been quite busy with my business and also building up my online portfolio that I haven’t been updating this website as often as I should be.

Because of these recent changes in my life (and schedule), I’ve decided the SOHO needs a change as well. I hope to have a few new features rolled out along with a new design when I announce the new alternativeSOHO website.

For now, I apologize for the brief hiatus.

(P.S. I did accomplish my challenge goals - at the witching hour, but it was still accomplished - more on that later)
