Family Time

This summer is different than the last few.  This summer I have chosen to put all of my "to do" lists aside.  I know I have written about this before, but this summer it is truly taking shape and "shaping up".   I have decided to spend this summer working out with the family, preparing dinners and doing laundry.  Releasing myself from my list of things I "need" or "want" to do, has given me an entirely new feeling of freedom and spontaneity.  I won't be spending much time in my studio.  I won't be attending workshops or conferences.  I won't be reading or writing much.  I will be taking every moment as it presents itself, in all of it's ordinary and mundane glory.  Grateful for this summer of unhurried and simple time with my family.

Oh Kathy, reading this just makes my heart sing! As you usually do :)
I feel that I am on the same page. I have been thinking the same words. It is strange to take that stance, when moving forward w/ my dream. Yet there is no other way to do this. And that is SO freeing!

Lovely that you will just be this summer... it is different for me with many changes going on and my trip to Nick Bantocks workshop... I hope you still have time for a collage or two though...! Roxanne

What a wonderful summer "vacation." I'd love to take a summer off and feel like I could let it all go. Hmmmmmmm.
