Balancing Work & Art

Balancing Work & Art is a awkward thing to do at times. The creative side wants to take control of the whole brain and time slips away before you know it. Creativity is hard to tie down to a time clock. When you are in the 'book work' mode for business it is hard to be too creative because you need to be so focused and driven to stay on task. I need to set aside time just to do the book work side of managing a business & not let the artwork side take up too much time or there is not only no time for book work but no time for family or self... What a mess that becomes.

Creativity brings into existence something that didn't exist before.
Creativity is the essence of my being.
I learned it from my Heavenly Father.

Keep On Trying

Know the difference between failures that lead to success and the loser who never tries.
~Glenn Beck

If you don't know failure you can't appreciate how sweet it is to succeed.
~Glenn Beck

Failure are for the Day.
Losers are for Life.
~Glenn Beck

Thoughts on Mother's Day

Rather than look at Mother's Day and think of all the things that need to be done or what I might have done differently it is much better to look at it and realize how blessed I am to be a mother and how blessed I am because of my children. Where would I be if I hadn't become a mother when I did? How empty my life would be if I didn't have the love of and relationships with my children? What more do I have to show for my life that is of any greater value than my children? Nothing, no accomplishment, no award, no thanks, can compare to the worth in the blessing of being able to raise and influence the lives of people you love!
