Just Breathe...

Last week was rough for me, personally and professionally. I had a lot of thinking to do and some big decisions to make. 
Peperes procedure went well, I want to thank everyone , from the bottom of my heart, for their thoughts and prayers. 

Otherwise, in true Meg fashion, I didn't put any effort into life. 

My outfits were sweats and over-sized sweaters.  

My hair was never done. 

I avoided socializing, in the real world and in the blog world. 

And I ate every.single.one of my feelings. 

But I think I'm okay now. I think. 

As always, I'm a work in progress. I've got a little more perspective and I think a lot of that has to do with catching up on some blogs. 

This morning I woke up to the most beautiful of Sunday mornings with a determination that I will turn my frown upside down. I brewed up some coffee and I spent over two hours (what my battery life allowed, because I could have gone longer...trust) just perusing the blog world.

I came across some posts about the struggles of life and such. 

Reading these stories made me realize:

**its ok** 

Everything will work out.

Its not the end of the world.

Sacrifices have to be made sometimes in order for life to come together.

And most importantly...

I don't have to please everyone. 

Just ME.

So, with all that love and inspiration (thank you friends, old & new) I put in an effort on the blog again.

 You'll notice a few changes. 

First, I'm proud to announce that PolkaDots&Lace now has a Facebook page!

Go check it out!

And please ya'll, use the Like button I put on the right...it took me for.ev.er to figure that ish out.

Also thanks to Code it Pretty I am now the proud owner of a blog button!

Its in the top right corner and I loooove it! I'd be absolutely tickled to swap with anyone...just shoot me an email @ mleeo5738@gmail.com

And please go check out Marie's site shes got some great ideas and in simple terms so that gals like me (ya know...the kinda girl that says what the eff is a code and why do I need it to blog?!) can get it right the first time. 

Also note that I'm starting to venture into the world of sponsoring. 

If anyone has any advice for me, please, I'm all ears. 

For now, lets just swap buttons... Til I know what I'm doing! ;)

Until next time loves...
