Slowing Down

Over the course of a year, I have moved, started my art business, gotten pregnant, had a baby, worked full time while getting my masters, coached soccer, and probably more that I can’t even think of.

Yesterday I was getting ready for a show coming up with what felt like 5,000 things swirling in my brain, and I look up to have this beautiful boy looking right into my eyes. It was then that I realized why I do all of what I do. Is it partially for me?-yes. But in that moment I remembered what my world revolves around and what really matters. My baby boy. What is life worth if we don’t have family?

Now, of course I want to make sales and be able to support myself to continue doing what I love to do. But, I want to remember that in this life, connections with our loved ones is the thing that keeps us going. All I want is for him to feel like he has the best mom in the world. I know I felt that way growing up.
