What you Can Expect in Coming Days and Weeks

by Vickie Perry Barker

Can you believe we are halfway through the summer months? My kids will return to school in less than 3 weeks. Time is flying by!

I hope you have been enjoying yourself. I want to hear all about your summer adventures in the comments section below.

For the first time in years, I gave myself permission to take a break from the hustle and bustle of work, work, work – and spend more time refilling my cup with family and friends.

We have been gardening (check out my favorite hanging basket above!), sightseeing around Atlanta, making regular visits to the bookstore, and enjoying long walks in the park. The hubby and I have even managed to turn a few corners on our motorcycles – probably more corners than all of last year!

I’m almost embarrassed to tell you it has been many years since I’ve taken a break from work. Kind of insane, right? I realize that now. My body was running on fumes, literally … as I repeatedly burned the candle at both ends. I was exhausted, frustrated and stressed – which led to a ‘not-as-private-as-I’d-like’ meltdown. :-)

Getting Back Into a Healthy Grind

While I have enjoyed my time away, it’s time to get back into a healthy grind! This has been an awesome week, so I want to stop for a moment to let you know what I have up my sleeves for you!

Here’s what you can expect in the coming days and weeks:

The “How-To” series is continuing.

A couple of months ago I kicked off a “how to” blog series covering tips legal professionals can use to support attorneys before, during and post litigation. My stats indicate those articles are the most popular on this blog. A couple of you have responded with “thank you” emails and suggestions for future content.

I am thrilled you are enjoying the articles! We will pick up where we left off – with a new article on Monday morning.  You expressed interest in PDF downloads of the articles, so I will make that happen.

Guest Bloggers are Welcome.

I am opening the series up to guest bloggers. Many of you are seasoned legal professionals, and I’m sure you have valuable information you can share with all of us. I’d love to include your practical tips in the series, so feel free to start submitting your ideas for guest posts via the contact page.

Videos are coming.

I receive several emails and calls from potential clients (and aspiring virtual paralegals and secretaries) with questions about my business, the services I provide, and how I work with my clients. So, I have decided to record a series of videos with my new Flip Ultra HD camera (affiliate link) answering your questions. You can expect the first video in the series next week!

Whew… enough updates for now! This post is getting long and I have to keep some surprises up my sleeves, right?

If you have any questions, suggestions, tips, advice or gripes, shoot me an email. I’d love to hear from you.

But before you leave… don’t forget to tell me all about your summer adventures in the comments section below!
