Life Lessons: When the Teacher Becomes the Student

What happens when the teacher becomes the student, and everything she knows suddenly becomes useless due to time restraints?  She cuts a new path through life and teaches from her own struggles...
Many of my readers have asked where I have been hiding for the past few months.  My articles have been repeats for the most part, and my editors are still patiently waiting for fresh contributions.  If you have been following my Facebook or Twitter, chances are you know I have been busy moving.  But I have also been helping my ailing father get back on his feet, so something had to give...  My writing has had to take backstage while I sort my life and try to make sense of it. 

A new home, new career, new community; have made it impossible to share the wisdom from my previous work.  All of the organizing knowledge and time management gurus can't help when your world has been turned upside down.  It is ironic how the subject I love to teach most {Life Balance} suddenly becomes the very thing I need to learn for myself.  It was as if over night, the teacher became the student, and had to re-learn it all in new surroundings... new circumstances.  But this blog is not called ReneW for nothing.  With each new beginning, comes a rebirth of greatness and enthusiasm.

I've decided to cut back on my Organizing business to focus on my home life.  But with that came new inspiration and restructuring my focus on Consulting and Public Speaking.  Instead of giving local hands-on assistance, I am providing self help and education with a real-life example...  me!  I will soon offer books on balance, organization and time management based on my own experiences and struggles.  You will also see more blogs personalized from my past move - challenges I have faced and how I have overcome those obstacles. 

So as I stand back up, brush myself off and begin this ride again, I will be leading by example and giving you the tools to find your own path as well.  Expect some real life lessons and goal setting solutions to work through them with Renew Your Space.

Tell me - how are you?  Have you ever taken a blogging hiatus and survived it?
