September, I Have No Idea What You’re Going to Be
Hey, hello there, friend!
August was full, and fun!
My birthday. A lot of reflection. My Birthday Retrospective sale, which sent several paintings off to new homes. Three new commissions that came in almost at the same time. Conversations with collectors. New ideas. Podcast episodes that somehow ended up saying out loud some of the things I’ve been thinking about.
It was one of those months where I could feel so much moving at once, creatively, professionally, personally. And underneath all of it, this feeling that something else is changing.
I talked about it on this week’s episode of Decoding the Flow: that strange moment when nothing is necessarily wrong with your life, but you can feel that you’ve outgrown parts of it.
Well, I’m there.
And the funny thing is, after such a full August, I’m entering September without a big declaration about what comes next. And instead of filling that space immediately, I'm trying something very unfamiliar to me: I'm letting it be space.
So rather than telling you where September is going, I thought I'd tell you where I am right now.
Currently...
Making: Making berry jams, I love making them ;)
Reading: I like to read a few books at a time, now I'm excited to start Walden, by Henry David Thoreau, and Profit First by Mike Michalowicz.
Thinking about: Start my Snail Mail and pumpkin lattes
Listening to: Djavan
Learning: Podcasting
Loving: Arugula salad, with dry cranberries, and strawberries
Letting go of: the need to make myself busy
Looking forward to: fall season
Curious about: Psychology
And maybe that's September. Not a month I need to define before I live it.
Just a new page, a few things I'm loving, a few things I'm questioning, some paint on my hands, and enough curiosity to see where it goes.
September, I have no idea what you're going to be.
I'm looking forward to finding out.
Color Your Life!
