I have to resist the urge to stay up into the small hours of the morning working to catch up on all the work I've missed this past month that I've been so ill. I guess in a way I feel like if I am not constantly working and creating and photographing and posting that I'll fade away....that I'll be buried in the history of the internet...that I'll loose customers and momentum and my little business that I've worked so hard to establish will die away. I know in my heart it isn't so.
I've realized the value of time. The feel good time. Family time. Reading time. Dreaming time. Time to just be still (which is something I am just not used to at all). I've learned to slow down much more and savor the process of the jewelry I create. I've learned that my heart's work will always be waiting for me. Maybe that is what this whole thing about being sick was about. I do know this; I value the good days so much more than I ever have! That is what I am taking away from this experience.
Many many thanks to all of my dear friends who have sent kind words, cards and care packages during this rough time. I feel the love and the light....and I hope that you can feel it coming right back.
this is so wonderful to read! I also feel the internet's frantic pace stressing me. what can you do but remind yourself you do this b/c you love it not to win some competition?
ReplyDeleteI send kisses and hugs and my dog sends licks.

ReplyDeleteJust wanted to tell you that I find your pieces on the hanger absolutely lovely - I have been thinking about trying it myself.
i just simply think you shine! i love the honesty and love you put into the universe through your jewelry and your presence. hug.
ReplyDeletei am SO glad you are on the UP and UP! your brilliant glimmer is too much to ever become buried... although i relate to this feeling. i often fear i'm not "doing enough" but it boils down to comparing, and theres no sense in that! you are a bright and shining star... i love to see and feel your glow! xoxo
