However, I am certainly glad that you will now have more time for blogging!! It sounds like you learned so much from this experience…and that alone makes it worthwhile.

I love your work, have subscribed to your blog for a while now and have been waiting for your next post! I had planned to be in the ABP, as well, but felt a bit too stressed out at the time to take it on, on top of having just completed a 10 month art-as-business program. In reading your intentions for the ABP and your followup, I realize that the goals I had set out for the program, had I done it, would have been undoable! I, like you, am constantly learning this lesson about trying to do too much. As it is, I did so much the last month or so, that now I'm sick with a cold and HAVE to just lay about for a while. Good luck with your move and I look forward to seeing more of your wonderful art! Thanks for sharing all that, Lisa.

It helps keep it all real since I really think of you as super woman being able to juggle all that you do! I also appreciate your honesty about the goals you set and the ones you didn’t meet.

Lisa,

Being so self-disclosing about your work is encouraging to someone who is much further back on their own journey. I take heart though from your "struggles" to make your art a priority in your life. It encourages me to get going on my own goals,etc. To elaborate, I have started a new job that pays me more PLUS gives me time off (it's a two weeks in, two weeks out situation) so that I can have a block of studio time every 4 weeks. I am still sorting out the logistics of coming and going plus learning a routine that will also let me get some work done while I'm out here in the bush. Baby steps towards my goals of making art are happening, and I'm pleased to be making them. Thanks for blogging, I miss reading you when you're busy with other things!
