Welcome back!

Hey Folks!


Message To My Twitter Followers from Refuge Design on Vimeo.

It’s been a long time since I’ve tweeted. I’d like to let you know what’s going on and why I’ve been so silent.

Over the past few weeks during the holidays time I realized I wanted to find my half-brother. This has been a difficult find even though it was an open adoption. Some people re-tweeted my tweet to find my brother but I still haven’t found him.

In addition to this, I have a few large projects taking up most of my time. I’m also training about 5 people (new workers for Refuge Design) in SEO, Email Marketing, and other Internet Marketing strategies. Training people takes a lot of time, patience and can be very frustrating at times but it’s well worth it. Plus, SEO is changing again at a rapid pace and I have a lot to read.

That might sound like enough to keep me busy for a while, and it is, but there is so much more going on. A family member was sent to jail for attacking me. I’m fine but the drama of that event isn’t close to being over.

So, in short. I won’t be tweeting too much anymore, at least for the next ~30 days. I did set both of my accounts to automatically tweet new blog posts, so you’ll see those tweets/posts and I might promote them a little on twitter (like if someone sphinn’s/digg’s/bookmark’s any of the posts) but other than that, I’ll be mainly silent on twitter for the next month, maybe month and half. I’ll be back on Twitter, to tweet actively in early March (hopefully).

I wanted to let you know the changes because I’ve been extremely active on twitter and over the past month, I’ve been fairly silent.

I’ve invited a bunch of guest posters to my blog and had one published and another will be published in a few days (Monday). These guest posters are great and I invited them because I respect their hearts and love their knowledge/perspective on many topics. I will also try to maintain a good blogging pace but I’m not sure how active it will be due to the time consuming tasks above.

Sorry for the silence but I’m still trying to recover from the hurricane that just came through my life. Thanks for your patience and I’ll see you guys soon!!

(Also, if you’d like to guest post on our blog, just email me (joshua[at]refugedesign.org) and let me know your ideas. I just might say yes. :) )
