Over the past few weeks I have been trying, with moderate success, to find additional work on the side freelance writing and marketing where I can but the additional responsibilities have whittled away what was left for formal meditation. I feel that the worst part really is my seeming inability to get back on track but what more can I do? As of now I think the best I can do is to commit to sitting or walking for a total of 25 minutes a day despite how empty such a resolve feels.

Yours challenges are parallel to ours, so I understand where you are. It would be nice to chat outside the blog about potential opportunities
