Queen of sidetracked

              Woke up this morning feeling pretty good for the first time in a long time. 
                                                          ~   Just had to tell someone ~


Finally the temperatures dropped down into the low 70's which is a relief  because it's been sticky, humid and in the high 90's for most of the summer. Right now it's overcast out and raining ever so lightly. It's just the perfect stay at home Sunday kind of  weather. 

I woke up today in almost a Zen kind of mood. Feels nice to be able to take deep breaths and relax. because all summer I've felt like I been just sitting on a bed of hot coals. For the last two years I've been feeling so angry, depressed and boxed in. Just feeling completely disoriented with no sense of direction. I think a lot of us have been feeling that way though. 

I have never really been the type of person to have a bucket list. But it's like the older I'm getting the more I'm starting to realize for all the things I have done. There are just so many I haven't, and I've been feeling like I'm running out of time. One of the main things I've wanted to do for years is travel in a van or a mobile home and sell my creations. I've wanted to do that ever since I saw a seller called ValOntine vintage on Etsy doing it a few years ago. Recently I see that they have since opened a store, guess they got tired of the nomadic lifestyle. 

Read an article online where more and more people are taking their online business on the road and becoming nomadic entrepreneurs. Sounds simple but a friend of mine researched it and said it's actually pretty expensive to get started. So with the Nomadic lifestyle out the window or put on pause for now I've been feeling like I need to get something going. I decided perhaps to start small but still couldn't come up with anything till last night! About 2 in the morning I woke up and looked at my phone. On Instagram there's a bunch of artist I follow and two of them recently started making tarot card decks. It funny because that was something I thought about doing a few years back but am the Queen of sidetracked!. 

 I am always getting sidetracked  The real problem has always been I don't space out my projects correctly and tend to have a million things going all at once! That's typical for me I'll go from doing practically nothing to doing a million different things all at once. Like two years ago I was making my very first Blythe doll clothing collection- was also making a few new dolls. Had a couple of commissions going and was just getting started in making my mixed media art collection.  I was also taking online watercolor classes as well as learning to make my own paints. I was a freaking whirled wind with projects everywhere!.  So now I was thinking of making a tarot card deck! I figured even if it takes me a year to complete it I'm gonna do it!.  I will start in September because I need time to gather supplies and come up with ideas. I'm actually really excited that I'm going to do this!!
