Things are certainly interesting these days. I am dealing with work fires on multiple fronts with so much to do. There is certainly not enough time right now for everything, and a lot of starting to slip through the cracks. No, that isn't correct. I have to be serious about how I prioritize things due to my schedule as of late, and I find myself making choices I would not have previously. Namely, my art and blog are not getting put on the back burner while I put out others' fires. I am tending those fires for sure, but through it all, the blog goes on, and I completed another piece for book two over the weekend.
Historically, my art is the first to go when life gets complicated. It is the easiest thing to do. I forgo the things I need and want to address others' needs. I am definitely not avoiding my duties and responsibilities to others, but I am making sure my time is as important. There are extenuating circumstances currently for sure, and I will go into that in time. But overall, this is a long time coming and something I have been working on for decades - better work/life balance.
Okay, I feel like this was all a lot to say, "Hey, things are super busy. BUT the blog and my art are just as valid and important, and even though things are crazy, I am still making art and talking about it." That and I also realized I needed a blog post today, and I didn't have one queued up yet. So, it's a win/win. I can't wait to share this new piece for book two with you all!
That's all for another exciting Wednesday on the blog. See you back here on Friday! Until then...
