Studio Friday - Fear
Studio Friday's topic this week is fear.
I'm afraid I'll never meet the expectations that I set for myself.
And now that I've said that, it's time to work on letting that go. I am flawed and lovely. Full of great ideas and always pressed for time. My life is mundane and yet miracles surround me everyday. I plan too much and never finish. I am just me. I try my hardest, sometimes I flourish, other times I'd like to run for cover.
The monthly to-do is floating around in my head. I don't think I'll worry about it much this month. February is officially a catch up month for me. I have projects that need to be finished, lose ends to tie up.
Articles that need to be sent out. 1 & 2
Postcards for an event in March.
Sponsor stuff for the Bead Cruise.
Press Release for my Bead of the Month.
My little day to day lists are full of things to finish. It's hard to look at the bigger picture this month, when so many things need to be cleared out of the way.
Oh I have something official to share with you. I think I'll wait until tomorrow to let the cat of the bag. I know, shame on me for keeping cats stuffed in bags, but you'll just have to wait.
Oh my...those last couple of sentences are killing me and possibly the cats too!!
Always love to see your stuff and read what you have to say!
Have a great day~

Alright, that's just not fair! Can't wait to hear what it is...I love "official business" stuff!
"My life is mundane and yet miracles surround me everyday." I love that sentence. It's a lovely reminder to us all.

I've always set impossibly high expectations for myself. I once had a life coach convince me to create a more reasonable list of goals...worst idea ever. They didn't motivate me at all. Went back to my old ways. My expectations might be impossible, but they drive me, and I know going in that I'll never accomplish them all, but I'm ok with that! :)
