Sling shot theory!

So I put in the newsletter that I would be posting blogs every Monday and releasing a newsletter every month. I absolutely fumbled the first couple of weeks. lol. Here's why:

Having this new schedule, where I'm so much more free and open I, truthfully, dragged my feet. I would think, "I need to write and post" but then not do that, and feel guilty about it. I am learning to give myself grace, especially in this new period of my life. 

Money! I do have a few sources of income working for me, but not enough to sustain the lifestyle i was living before. That "scarcity" mindset had me in a chokehold. I release it. I'm thinking of this new phase as a new job. when you first start you get like minimum wage but over time, as you gain more experience, your  wage increases. Having left my job and immediately getting a high ticket commission (to me) lets me know that, this is the minimum wage. and that the possibilities are endless. I just have to keep working. THEN someone bought a piece from my last exhibition!!! just in the nick of time too. 

Last night (4/27/25) i had a resurgence of energy and inspiration to get back on track, hence why im writing now. I created a new schedule for myself to follow. The release dates for blogs and newsletters will be the same. I may not hit EVERY Monday for the blog but i will sure as hell try! 

I need structure, just as much as i need freedom. creating my own structure gives me freedom to move freely within that. discipline and faith!!! 

So i say all that to say, Sling Shot Theory: "Sometimes life pulls you back, to launch you further" that's the piece that I sold. and truthfully, I'm glad that, that was the only that sold because it reminds me why I drew it. I'm doing the thing! There will be setbacks, life will happen. Good bad and beautiful. I just have to keep going.
