So you may have noticed a few changes around here. I've decided that this year is the year for focus. I tend to be pretty flighty when it comes to most things in life, and it's served me pretty well till now. But with this massive semester I've got looming ahead and a never-ending desire to craft out the things in my head, I'm going to need some structure and focus blended in to this crafty soup of stuff I like to call my life. Plus the 9 month vacation I took from the real world to (poorly) organize the details involved with our joyous wedding day and honeymoon is over, and it's time for me to get my head out of orbit around earth and at least back down into the stratosphere. The BR is totally in on the scheme, and will be helping when possible with design tidbits and composition advice. So far in my life I've been ok with the idea that "one day" I'll be able to make my stuffs and it be cost effective and maybe even *gasp* profitable. But it's not going to happen on its own, and sitting on my ever-comfortable rump is only slowing things down. So this semester, this year I'm buckling up my big girl boots and setting off for adventures in bigger waters than I've ever braved before. Focus, organization, and attempting for once to believe that I'm capable of fabulously accomplishing whatever I want. Those things tend to be in short supply in this thing I carry around on my shoulders. So I'm stocking up, using them wisely, and reporting here about it each step of the way- my first big step towards the organized part. So I encourage anyone that cares to read to give as much feedback as you want. I can always use some fresh eyes and I respect every single pair that might stare at this page. And I know that if you've got something to say, it'll totally be worth reading.
I really believe making life better for others is the only way to truly be worthy of your place in this world, and that includes all living things. So in all of my efforts this year to advance my own career, marriage, and relationships with the friends I never have time to see, I vow to keep this my main goal. And I know that art done in the right way can accomplish this for a good portion of the human population, at least. The specific goals involving the rest of the animal and plant populations will come in the next few posts, along with details from the never ending search for my wings.
namaste.
