Searching.

Right now, I'm yearning to narrow down my many interests into one niche. One niche where I can start a business of my own, and earn some money for my family while satisfying my creative needs. That would be a perfect world.

I'm in a bit of a lull. For the past 2 years I've been pregnant, then focusing on caring for my baby. I haven't devoted any time to myself... to growing, learning more, taking care of my emotional, spiritual, and physical needs. When you have a baby it's easy to focus so much on him/her and not at all on yourself. But that's SO important. If I'm not happy, I can't expect to be a good mother or wife.

So now, I'm making a valiant effort to take time for myself. It's time. If I don't start now, I'll lose myself soon. And you should NEVER lose yourself.

The goal: CREATE EVERYDAY. No matter what it is... I just need to create everyday. To help me do that, I made a simple book for myself to doodle in, write down ideas, reminders, sketches, and inspiration for all the random projects I have running around in my head. I need to make creativity a habit, to make time for it even though sometimes I feel like there's no time to myself. 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes... whatever it is. A time to read, a time to just sit in quiet, a time to go around and shoot pictures, anything. I encourage everyone to take a little time every day to breathe, and to create.
