It has been awhile since I have written anything, on here, in my journal, and just in general. I feel as if I am off track a little. Work has been draining me, my creativity, and my time. I figured when I went back to work full-time again that there would be an adjustment period. It’s been three months and I suppose I can say I am finally starting to get into a routine, but the feeling of being out of sorts hasn’t gone away. It’s as if I have two left feet. I hope really soon to feel as if I have found some balance, some time for everything I want out of life. For now this is just how life has to be I guess. Little shifts, and changes can create big change over time. That is the approach I hope to take, am taking. So here is to another week beginning, another opportunity to make time, to create the life I want to live, and be the best person I can.

Time for a new camera…made it almost four years.

Sometimes it’s as simple as lighting a candle… I need to pay attention to all the little things and not take them for granted, I like lists so here you go…

• lighting candles
• the beautiful fall colors, and how awesome the street looks right now
• getting to wear sweaters again
• pumpkins and corn stalks
• pumpkin spice lattes from starbucks
• apple cider
• shorter days, longer shadows
• getting to see cotton fields blooming
• rain boots in all different colors
• sleeping in on dark, rainy days
• sitting by the fire outside
• the smell of burning of leaves
• seasons changing…

I’ve been slacking around here the past week, and sadly have nothing but a sunset over a field to show you. I am hoping to get some time this week to spend in the studio and continue my Lil Bugs series. It has been slow going with my art lately, but hopefully soon I will get some energy and pick up the momentum. It is a challenge balancing everything in life, but one of these days I hope to figure it out.

Time to get going on this day, Happy Monday!

Happy Monday!! Not much content around here the past few weeks, and I guess life happens sometimes. I’ve been finding it extremely difficult to find some solid time to just sit down and type out a post already. I have also found it difficult lately to dedicate some time to creating. I plan on changing that. I don’t know about you, but I have the hardest time balancing everything in my life, and especially when unexpected things come up (like a trip to the dmv to renew my license before the fee goes up) I tend to find that time to gets away from me. The big important stuff always gets done, it is a priority after all, but the little things like making art, or reading a book, or just spending some time on the web those always go to the backburner.

So I have cleared my schedule for today, and look forward to spending some solid hours in the studio. In hopes that I will have something more exciting to share around here in the coming days and weeks.
