Hey there Thursday it sure has been a while but here I go again on my ownnnn.
It's been an interesting Summer indeed- and not in the fun rose swilling, sun soaking way. I've been in the zone of figuring out just what I'm going to do with the rest of my life- no easy task I assure you. This really hit me hard a few weeks ago and I decided to take a bit of a respite from this blog and focus on drumming up some biz for the Maven and getting back to work.
Fortunately I booked a great gig to take me through the end of the year- more on that next week. Let's see what else is cooking in my world...
Oh, I started drawing and illustrating again. I have always loved to draw and went to art school most of my life up until I graduated high school. Why I did not pursue this (and many other things) is sort of beyond me, but I'm glad to have found it again, and I've been spending my free time with a sketch pad in hand and a hot set of markers. What am I drawing?Fashion-like things of course. What else? I'll share them with you soon.
As I wind down my last free days before this next gig, I'm grateful for the time I've had to spend some time alone. To work out at random, luxurious times and enjoy my neighborhood. To try and take my mind off of politics and my uncertain career path by investing in some art supplies and making my heart happy.This has not been an easy time for me, but I'm still here. I may not have had a ton of beach time this Summer, but it's been lovely to get back in touch with who I am and who I would like to me. It's getting clearer by the minute and I really appreciate all of the wonderful support and encouragement from friends I've shared my thoughts about all of this with- I've tried to be positive about all of this change happening- it's not easy for me to admit my fears around this thing called life, so thanks for listening- you all know who you are. And without you, I'm nothing. When I feel a bit beat up it's not my default to be social, but I pushed myself and I treasure the time I've spent this Summer with friends who have been kind and offered me some much needed advice and compassion. And of course, cocktails. Although this is the least boozy Summer of recent memory and that's just fine by me.
I'll be back with a more regularly scheduled post tomorrow and next week. I want to share some more moments from my life- a series on my many odd jobs is in order as well as my usual musings on products I love and trends I've found. I'm fortunate to have a place to air all of these thoughts, so please keep reading. Don't you just love this Arthur Elgort photo, ps? His images are the very best medicine.
Cause that's what's up this moving on kind of Thursday in beautiful Brooklyn. Yours, in enjoying my last few days of free time. Hope all's well by you. XO
