... or paigel, as the case is today. This morning marked the official launch of my new website, paigel.com, which will house my blog, some pictures and a variety of other things.
So this is a bittersweet goodbye to Blogger. It's been a great and simple platform for the craziness that is my life, but it's time to move on.
Thanks to all of my readers. And, if you want to still follow the wacky things that happen to me on a daily basis, head on over to paigel.com.
Much love,
-P.

New things...
Well, I'm almost ready to launch the new site. I caved in, moved everything over to WordPress, and will continue blogging over there once I have all the pieces together [hopefully by the end of this week].
I'd love to give you all the details, but that would spoil the surprise, wouldn't it?
So, to the faithful readers of paigepresley.blogspot.com, I will soon be leaving this blog behind to start a new venture.
See you on the other side!

Our Options
Today, during a nice long walk with Maggie, I saw a bumper sticker on the back of a car that said:
Change is inevitable. Struggle is an option.
It really made me think, even if it was for only a minute. But here I am again, not able to get it out of my mind.
I've been grappling with the frustration of finding balance in the grey area between what is acceptable and what is [grossly] unacceptable.
Sometimes, it's something as small as the pile of oats that sat in the hallway of my building. For an entire week. And the broken handle at the parking lot entrance that dangled for two weeks.
But other times, it's the big stuff. Should I look for something greater? Or should I wait until my life is more stable? Should I give up these things that I love, but just don't have time or money for... so that I can do the things that make the money, but take the time?
I'd love to tell you that I came up with the answer, the cure-all. And I guess I sort of did, but it takes a lot of understanding- the kind that many people just don't have [unfortunately].
What it all comes down to is faith. Whether it's faith in your situation, in yourself or in a higher being, find that faith and hold on to it. It teaches you that not only is it ok to struggle, but it's important that you do. Because when you're going in circles on these questions, trying to figure out what you can and can't let go of, your faith will ground you and give you the peace of mind you need to function.
So, spend today finding your faith. Hold on to it. And most importantly, share it.

What do I say?
Seriously, what do I say to you when I haven't updated in nearly a month? No, my near anaphylactic shock did not kill me. Yes, my face has returned back to normal. And, thanks to my daily Zyrtec, I can breathe. Every day. Sans hives.
As I've mentioned in previous [near death] posts, I've been working feverishly on a new website. Well, that fell through. So I've spent this weekend doing two things: roasting by a pool and working on another new website. It's almost time to unveil said website, but I'd like to get a few more details ironed out, so you're just going to have to wait a bit longer.
And once I'm done spending most of my free time fixing up the new site, I promise I'll have more meaningful posts up here. But until then, here's to a great week.
