I don't think I've ever written a blog post before. Social yes, god yes, but not a blog. Do I have anything worth listening to, reacting to, caring about? Probably not, but who cares, we're all yelling into the vacuum of space and the internet so let's do our best. You are all magic and light, do you understand? You are in this with everyone else, let's just try!
I feel like I'm in a transitional period. My body is craving a change and I haven't been able to pinpoint the appropriate outlet for it. I want to create, move, charge SOMETHING. I want to hug everyone and at the same time bury myself in a room of blankets and just draw, paint, cook and take a bath. Maybe simultaneously, maybe. Have you felt that struggle? The world is so full of opportunities, my soul is being pulled in every direction, I have so many options! I'm so lucky, I know this and I'm going to work every day of my life to have more of these options and give people opportunities to have options of their own.
I just dribbled some wine down my chin while fantasizing about what I want to cook this weekend. Curry? Bread? Tartines? PIE? SO MANY OPTIONS. I will never be a legit skinny lady, I'm just too damn good at cooking food that is edible, it's a curse.
So far my list of what I want to do consists of:
Create a library of content to sell for Getty/iStock
Create a library of content to sell on Society 6
Pursue my passion for estate sales and glorious vintage bags and clothing, help them find beautiful homes
Paint Paint Paint Paint because it heals my soul
Cook Cook Cook Cook, share fun and easy recipes, it doesn't have to be hard to cook!
Narrate recipes for voice devices and NPR, man I love NPR
30 day pilates challenge? Will I follow through if I buy a membership at a location or will the act of buying the membership fulfill the goal all by itself?
Set up a cardboard stand and listen to people. Empathetic listening, not psychology.
Read MORE, no tv!
I'll think of more I'm sure.
I know I might not be a true entrepreneur, I think I might be a great producer, follower, maybe not a true leader. A rockstar, not a superstar (Radical Candor is such a great book you guys). I want to know how to do better, be better, push push push. I don't even need to win, I'm ok with being terrible at things. Winning at everything sucks! You don't learn, life's not a challenge then! I just know life is happening and I'm sitting here, absorbing content and ideas but I'm over it. Let's get to work.
