Why have I forgotten that persons name or that appointment? then when I stop and take inventory I can forgive myself! And I KNOW you and other artists and creative people can relate. Maybe in a way I am addicted to spinning lots of plates on long sticks. I have contemplated a square job and while it would have benefits and decent paycheck I'd never have time to make jewelry and would have NO time for writing a book or Artfest or anything like AF. Robert thinks I would die of sadness. I just keep seeing the health insurance and $!Melissa Manleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17036217786163719095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3751114981363491224.post-27153460837403223152010-04-17T15:03:56.220-04:002010-04-17T15:03:56.220-04:00Thank you for sharing your "to do list from h...Thank you for sharing your "to do list from hell".. I some how thought I was alone in that kind of list. I really appreciate you talking in a public forum about the challenges and benefits of a crazy creative life. I know I wouldn't want mine any other way either. But finding some peace and self care is essential, and it was helpful for me to hear about your many hats. I hope it was helpful to talk about them. Remeber your amazing just the way you are! We all are! hugs and peace friend.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17519806835305805517noreply@blogger.com
