I have never been one to make New Year's resolutions. This year is different. I've had so many things on my mind for the past 6 months or so. From things that I need to check off my to-do list to dreams and aspirations that I want to accomplish some day. Well I want some day to be in 2013.
Working forty (+) hours a week has really put a damper on my "creative time." When I get home every day, I just want to grab some dinner, kick up my feet and relax. I'm rarely ever in the mood to sit down and just make art. And I hate that. It's just so hard to switch from working on the left side of my brain to working on the right side at the end of the day. I have had tons of ideas floating around in my head of things I want to create. Maybe my brain is just overwhelming me. It's like I have so many ideas that I don't even know where to start. Do you know what I mean? Or is that just me?

2013 is when my ideas are going to reach fruition. I've always wanted my art and the things I create to be a source of income for us so hopefully this will be the year it happens (even if it's just something I do on the side). I'm entering the new year with a renewed sense of creativity and motivation and I am so excited about what's to come.

More than anything in the coming year, I want to experience a relationship with my Savior like never before. I want to strive to be the daughter, wife, sister and friend He created me to be. I want to spend time with Him daily and lean on Him to renew and refresh me each morning. I want to be more consumed with MY Creator than the things I create. God gave me artistic gifts and I want to use them for His glory.

How funny that we are a tad opposite when it comes to this! I normally make resolutions every year, but this year was different - It was like I knew in my head what I wanted to do this year but I didn't actually sit down and think of any - ha! Found your from the Followers to Friends link up and I am loving your blog (especially the title) - it's always nice to make a good Christian friend!

LOVE the bcharlesmurphy.com print! I want that for my house!
ReplyDeleteI'm the same way with my art and work... it's hard to find a balance.. I've prayed and planned and I I'm jumping in head first this year. Here's to an amazing 2013 for both of us :)
ReplyDeleteNewest follower here! I found you through the blog hop. Cute blog, I can't wait to read more!

I just love your goals. Work life balance is hard but it's important to be you in all of it.. If that makes sense. :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with you- when you work 40 hours a week it is hard to feel like doing anything! I literally come home from work and just sit on the couch and stare. One day I would love to be able to work part time and be creative with that extra 20 hours a week. One day...I just found your blog and have enjoyed getting to know you better. Hope you don't mind if I follow along!

ReplyDeleteI was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
