What’s on my mind
Hopefully this email finds you well and ready for the festive season ahead? On my mind at the moment is the list of things I need to do before Christmas - not because I’ve been disorganised, but because I’ve been busy with a brand new full time job! Yes - being back in full time work has its pros and cons - the pros being a regular wage packet and lovely colleagues, and the cons being far less time with my family and less time to paint. However, I’m always mindful of the following quote by Clarissa Pinkola Estates;
"I've seen women insist on cleaning everything in the house before they could sit down to write... and you know it's a funny thing about housecleaning... it never comes to an end. Perfect way to stop a woman. A woman must be careful to not allow over-responsibility (or over-respectabilty) to steal her necessary creative rests, riffs, and raptures. She simply must put her foot down and say no to half of what she believes she "should" be doing. Art is not meant to be created in stolen moments only.”
― Dr Clarissa Pinkola Estés
So, despite my new job taking up a lot of time, expect plenty more art from me in the months to come :)
