Newsletter #13

Happy Spring! 

Happy Easter to all my listeners that celebrate. I absolutely love this time of year! When I was living in the Northeast or Midwest this time of year was all about daffodils popping their heads and trees sprouting new growth. 

Spring is a time of rebirth. Everything is green and colorful after a long winter. Even if the groundhog says Spring is early, when it arrives it is such a happy time. No more gray cold days. 

I am reflecting on what I built 7 years ago, Busy Living Sober. Who knew that I would have started a podcast? Now this was before the “podcast”was a household name. When the lovely people at Zero to Five (marketing firm) suggested that I start a podcast, I asked, “what is a podcast and how do I do that?”. Needless to say as of today I have published 430 podcasts and it has been a lot of fun~! But….

430 episodes in. I am pondering if this is what I really want to do moving forward? 

The problem is I have really made a go of this and put a lot of time and effort into this passion of mine and it is not a money maker. In fact, it is more of a money taker LOL! Nevertheless, it isn’t only about the money — it is the questioning that I do constantly that is driving me nutty! Every so often I think to myself, “is this what I want to do?”, “is this the best use of my time?” and more often it is, “God, what do you want me to be doing with my life and the gifts that you have given me?” Do you ever feel like this? Like, “God, what do you want me to do?” If you do please reach out to me and let me know so I don’t feel so crazy, elizabeth@elizabethchance.com. 

I heard years ago that if you don’t know what to do, do nothing. 

So I am heading to Europe early in April and I will be gone most of the month and I am giving myself this time to sit and reflect and let go. I will be praying and hoping to hear answers as to where and what I should be doing in the future. 

It is Elizabeth 5.0 and it is time for me to really make a decision on whether or not I am going to continue my work as a podcaster or if it is time for me to pivot and change directions and get into something new….

You will not be receiving a Newsletter in the month of April and I will not be putting out new podcasts of me solo while I am away. I will still have guests on Mondays and some old episodes will fill in on Wednesdays. 

I am leaving my computer at home and I will be using a pen and paper while I am away (the old-fashioned way) to reflect and journal all of my adventures in Croatia, Bosnia, and Italy. 

This trip is going to be filled with spirituality, self reflection, and fun! 

Look for a Newsletter the first Friday in May and until then I wish you all the very best. 

Remember that you are never alone and that life is an adventure. Take it one day at a time and some days seconds at a time. 

Have a happy, happy 

See you all in May
