So I decided this morning that I should resume this blog, for a couple of reasons. So far this year, things have been really good. It wasn't until I wrote a journal entry about it that I truly realized that. And it's a realization that stuck with me and has continued to make me feel good. So there's the motivation that exploring life ties in directly to my art ambitions, and that writing will keep me feeling creative and motivated and capture ideas-- maybe even ones that I'm not aware of until I do some writing...
It may also have had something to do with the runner's high-- 4 miles with Justin this morning, and I was feeling pretty good.
The other motivation is that I used to do a lot of writing, and I'm feeling like my powers of articulation and creativity are rusty. In order to better market my jewelry, I need to tap back into that for describing my vision, my pieces, and marketing myself online and to galleries.
It's by understanding and embracing all the things that seem to be mutually exclusive parts of myself that I'll be successful in life and jewelry, and I'm thankful to Justin for the inspiration he's given me. He motivates me to get organized, do stuff instead of making excuses, prioritize, and accept/appreciate myself and everything around me. He also doesn't get annoyed when I text him randomly about ideas, instead getting me even more excited about them :-)
2010 is all about peacefulness and adventure-- just because i'm becoming more organized and motivated doesn't mean I'm any less neurotic ;-)
