It is so important we are gentle with ourselves. Allowing ourselves to pivot, grow organically and not be tired to an end-result that might not be right for us now. Enjoyed reading your journey. Thank you.
I spent years wishing and dreaming about having my own creative business. And, then, three years ago, as I was looking for a regular job to help pay the bills, I decided that I actually wanted the structure and routine of a day job. More importantly, I wanted to spend my free time doing what I love - spiritual writing, living seasonally, etc. Somehow, I had always thought that having a day job and having my creative time within my free time would mean that I felt like I was living two disconnected lives. Amazingly, what has happened is that I have, instead, create a way of life that is unified and balanced, so I do not feel that I am disconnected at all, but rather, have a flow of who I am and how I want to live in all areas of my life. And, that, is what is freeing.
Wishing you well as you continue to let your vision unfold! I am excited to follow along.
This is so right up my alley! Great post and with so many insights to chew on.
I have a regular day job that I like and I have a feeling that trying to cram my creative ideas into a business might not after all be the best of ideas.
