Getting back on here. Read #steallikeanartist by #austinkleon. I really appreciated this short book. It’s about #creative #work but it applied pretty generally. I was thinking especially of #momlife. There is time, and we have to do it.
We don’t have to be defined by geography anymore, and when I gave up certain hobbies and interests, eventually they start to hurt like a phantom limb (though I’m sure the reality doesn’t compare to actual amputees, and I don’t mean it that way).
Like Kleon says of his own experience, dabbling around can both strengthen our main job, even the mom job and also lead to other avenues and opportunities.
So that’s my kick in the pants for today. Don’t abandon the things that I like.
For me, it’s reading, writing, some fitness things. What about you?
