Those of you who know me personally know that I have these phases that I go through. Little cycles of ups and downs. They're manageable, I'm aware of them, and know that all I have to do is wait it out, and it too shall pass...lol.
The past couple of weeks, I've been in one of my cycles, but not the usual up and down one. This is a larger one that comes about once a year or so. This one is where I feel the need to pull back and spend some time outside of all the groups, and numerous personalities (wonderful though they may be) and simplify. Although this particular cycles seems like it's bad, it's really not. This is when I start really working on my craft, and heading for new plateaus.
I find that if I'm getting bored with my "me-ness" that the best thing for me to do is to reinvent myself. If I hang out with other artist's at this time, it makes it difficult to find myself. I'm a strong believer in the adage that one must take care of themselves before they can be of any good to others.
Thanks for reading. xoxo Maddy
Chibitude Chibis are little collectibles, sit-abouts, bric-a-brac, chachkies or dust collectors. :o) They are meant to be enjoyed with the eye and with close attention to detail. They are created to be collected and live together in groups. Chibitude Chibis hope to make you and all who you share them with, smile and feel innocent childlike fascination. Can you live without a Chibitude Chibi??? Yes, but after you’ve seen one in person, you’ll ask yourself why you ever did. ;)
Hi Maddy. I sure love reading your blog. I wanted to share my site with you as well--the one that's not art related. www.creatingconsciously.com
ReplyDeleteOn it I have some info about EFT--a tapping method for shifting emotions. It's been a great help to me when I have depressed days, and did wonders when I used to have them often. Anyway, there's lots of good, happy stuff. You have such a kind heart--just wanted to share something with you as well.
Thanks for all you do,
Apryl
