So….it’s Monday. I’m sitting and thinking and planning. Planning all the avenues out of my current situation and into another one.
Financially:
“Well, i’m getting the website together and commissions are coming up and markets and classes are popping for Spring. But…Capitalism, am I right? Is it necessary to be anything other than a silly little goose? Should I shirk my responsibilities and wing it? Should I keep working my responsibilities into things I want to do? I’ll choose the latter, I think.”
There’s the mental:
*Quick check of the calendar*
“Therapy on Thursday. Don’t forget to say the new meds make me happy and sensitive. Do I mention the night sweats? I’ll mention the night sweats part. Just in case.”
You know that moment, at the end of a season where they kind of foreshadow the coming season? Love interests break up. Someone gets a new job and loses their dog (only for it to be found in season 3, episode 6.) That’s how I’m feeling these days. Like i’m wrapping up a crazy season that went on for an episode too long. But we needed that episode!
Anyways…what’s the move?
The website is underway! Relaunch is coming up fast (March 20th) and it’s gonna look a little different. Well a lot different in layout…and content. Chile, you’ll see when it’s up.
Of course, Quilts. I’m leaning on the quilting heavy this year. It’s a practice I’ve been holding too little space for in the past so I decided to lean all the way in and let my grandmother’s work and teaching shine.
There are also new community workshops in the works! Workshops around the fabric that crafts us (Chile, that was a good little phrase, wasn’t it? “The fabric that crafts us.” Mhm)
Things are big changing this spring and I’m so excited to bring you along for the ride.
I’ll leave you with this:
My best friend and I have decided to just live. We’ve spent so much time being afraid of trying because the world looked so bleak. “What’s the point moving forward in a world that feels like it’s always moving back?” This was the unspoken question we asked ourselves.
But then, there was a moment. A Thursday in a waffle house over unusually good grits and a mixture of country and RnB music, where we just decided to move forward for ourselves. For the “Silly Goose of it all “ if you will. We decided to plan and hope and make websites and wash our faces more often. We just decided to demand the best versions of our lives for no other reason than that we wanted it.
