The Holy Pasty?

Out of defiance I decided to commit blogging suicide and not update my blog for the whole of January, after all nobody reads it anyway do they? It wasn’t a new years resolutions, I don’t do those! January was a phenomonally busy for me with redesigning the Soteria Website and trying to get on top of all those things that get left behind in the Christmas rush. Then we had an issue of the magazine to put together. You can read the офис обзавежданеJanuary Issue of Soteria online here. As well as getting a good start on reviews I have attended Visit2010 a South West Expo, the London Toy Fair and a Catering Expo – although not quite sure that it was strictly business on that last one!

This year will see a few changes for me personally. Our family continues to grow with a new baby (and no family and friends I am not letting on whether it’s male or female) on the way in March and thoughts have to come together about the future. I believe that God has kept us as a family this far with my living by faith (Louisa’s wage from Tesco and Tax Credits should not be discounted in their importance). Soteria as an entity is very strong, but we need to push it out a little more and get the name known, and also bring in some money so we can keep publishing. It’s important to say that any money that gets given to Soteria goes straight into the organisation, no-one working with Soteria takes any wage, and mostly any expenses outside of the website and printing come out of our own pockets too! So if you want to support Soteria please feel free to give to Greg, Jon or I in certain knowledge that it will come back to the magazine!

There may well be other changes for me during the year, we’ll have to take those as they come. Hopefully I will try and update the blog a little more regularly too! It’s tucked away a bit on this address and I want to make it a little bit more obvious, but that might have to wait until I can cheaply integrate Wordpress with Joomla, at the moment the only component for that costs too much for my pocket!
