Happy Labor Day. Hope you are enjoying this glorious weather with friends and family. That's my plan for later today. This morning though, I'm working. Why? Because I want to. I feel recharged after a stellar vacation and I am bursting with ideas and pieces that have to be completed.
.
I've been thinking about balance and trying to look at it in a bigger picture sort of way. When you work for yourself it is a luxury to structure your time in a way that fits you best. Of course there are deadlines, commission work, unexpected family issues. For the most part, though, you are steward of your time. I'm using mine wisely.
.
So, what I've been practicing this past week is flexibility more than balance. Sometimes I like working with a sense of urgency that enhances my creative spirit. Other times I am slow and methodical.
.
I don't always have to go to the post office in the afternoon or ride my bike (yea, for cooler weather) in the morning. I've stopped making those long" to do" lists.
.
Sometimes just a little flexibility opens up the possibility of an experience your never thought about. Make your heart beat faster, take a risk. That's my plan, and the sky's the limit.
.
Kiss the ones you love,
xoSherry
