I now have a blog. This blog is to help keep me accountable in my creative ambitions. Thats right- I looked for a job for a year, found one, and realized after a year of hard work that I don't belong in that job. Sort of a round-about way to this realization... but now, I'm calling it quits with the corporate world to pursue what, I believe, God's called of me- to be creative. Aside doing administrative work and assisting a certain freelance photographer, my profession- if someone should ask- is being a student of food/drawing/quilting/crocheting/knitting/sewing/block printing/glass painting/music/pottery/gardening/other languages/photography/anything else that has wet my pallet for art. These are the things I had only wished to have time to do, and now I have ample time and no room for excuses.
My wonderful husband is optimistic and supportive (which is such a relief in my moments of panic-stricken anxiety that I'm making a huge mistake in quitting my job). He's help me become prepared by purchasing these books:
So, in the two weeks I have left of employment, I will spend what little free time I have dabbling in each of them. I'll let you know if I have any high recommendations. (So far, Martha Stewart's Encyclopedia has been unexpectedly inspiring.)
Welcome to my blog!
Oh, Sandal. I'm right here with you. I love the new direction, and I can't wait to see where the Lord takes you... and me. It's nice having someone in the same boat. Hopefully someday I'll find myself a Caleb (in female form of course) to encourage and support me in my crazy endeavors. Isn't it fun just sort of jumping off a ledge and trusting you'll be caught? Love and miss you all in B'ham!
