Well I have gone and done it!

Dresden Plate
I had nearly forgotten this one all
together!
 I have done it, yes I have! I downsized my work schedule, bad economy be damned! Just short of a year ago I extended my work week from 5 to 6 days and I have taken that lost day back! It is mine, all mine! (Punctuated with maniacal laughter!!!)

And now, perhaps I will get something done besides housework and errands on my one and only day off! (He, He, He!!!)

 Maybe, just maybe I will finish these projects????? These are just two projects that represent the lost time, energy, and passion. There are many, many more! What's worse is that I was on the verge of purging all these projects from my studio of all these projects when I realized how out of balance my life had become!

Focus, Focus became way out of
Focus with my inflated work week!
Just think I was going to dispose of all these items that I had spent so much time, energy, and money on. Just so I wouldn't feel the pressure of failing to have time in my life to pursue my passion! 


This project in particular was called Focus, Focus and it was a blog project that I was using to help myself focus on a large project from beginning to end! Ironically, it was the first project to be put away when I added the extra day at work!


       That is just warped and wrong! And, Unfair to boot!!!




I feel the power of possibility serge forward, I will have a life! No money, but a life! What is worth more? What do you think? As for myself I believe that if you feel overdrawn and out of sorts, out of balance - THEN it is most definitely worth the reduction in funds! 


We creative souls must protect and cultivate our passion. If we do not, then we do not truly live our lives. We live other peoples lives and that will not do! So economy be damned, make sometime for yourself! 

I found this quote some time ago and posted it above my desk, on a mirror that I often see my reflection in -

"Every time you don't follow your inner guidance, you feel a loss of
Energy, a loss of Power, a sense of Spiritual Deadness." Shakti Gawain


With that said, I will follow my inner guidance and take sometime from the world around me and live MY LIFE! Won't you!

Have a wonderful and fulfilling day!
