This summer of high highs and great stressers has made it clear: it's time to reevaluate a lot.
1. Computers are NOT my friend and I pledge to spent less time at this keyboard (this is the second time I'm writing this, as Firefox shut down, deleting my almost finished first draft - case in point).
2. I'm reminded that my priorities do not involve wealth (though I'd have more if they did), but I still need to make a living.
3. I've been doing way too many things to do any of them well.
So - this morning I canceled both of my online shops - Etsy and Bonanzle. I'm going to do paintings for the gallery in Manistee which wants to carry my work. I'm going to focus on illustration, which is both my most effective and most enjoyable way to support myself.
The CADDi is still an adventure - I'm still seeing progress and having fun hearing when someone gets a kick out of using theirs. I have plans for it yet.
But - I'm going to find more time to smell the roses...did that yesterday at MSU gardens with our German guest on a glorious Michigan summer day...THAT's important!

Brava! Barb.
As someone who rarely makes plans and can't answer the question "What do you really want to do with your life?", I salute you and your quest. Mine has been more focused on spirituality , lately, but I'm anxious to introduce your vision board concept to that line of inquiry. See you soon.
I think this is trying to clear the brush, so I can get closer to the spiritual essence. I get glimpses and it is good. I'm not sure what I DO want to do - pretty sure what I don't. Your photo of you in that chair was a nudge in all of this, for sure.
