it’s been a rollicking few weeks for me… unplanned move which was executed and completed in under three weeks. setting up my new home and studio space. working on a total of 17 custom junk journals … for graciously patient customers. coming down with a nasty chest infection - which keep me in bed for 3 days and totally destroyed my well-laid plans!! it’s the second one I have had in under three months … wtf!
anyway… we are up to speed now and plugging away on orders and creativity. expect to see more regular content from now on, my lovelies
today … I am thinking about the conflict that arises when the waiting vs. action thing comes into play. I am an action-oriented person. when I am in the middle of a stressful situation I need a task - give me something to do and I'll deal with the “feelings” later. do the dishes, turn on the vacuum, clean out that closet … don’t come at me with all your drama, that’s the stuff I feel compelled to fix, control or get rid of. I act quickly when I shouldn’t and feel paralyzed when the thing I don’t want to do is staring right at me. this is when writing saves me from myself. it’s the reason I’ve always kept a journal. my journals are written and art and junk and glue …sometimes just written on a scrap of paper. i just get it on the page and out of my head and my heart. it’s the way to sanity for me!!!
my word of wisdom … stop thinking and start doing … keep a journal and make a mark on the page
do it, my lovelies
