Do you eat Pork and sauerkraut on New Year's Day? It’s suppose to bring good luck for the coming year, I'm not superstitious, but…
Weeks into the new year, I still don’t exactly feel ready for it, or should I say, excited about it... I didn't get completed online what I wanted to accomplish in 2024...
Lots of ideas and thoughts swirling in my head this January 2025. With commissions to finish, blog to write, computers that give me fits of frustration, artisan markets to choose, web site and Esty online store etc. As I start to write, I'm reminded why I sketch and paint. Creativity feeds my soul unlike the writing for blog post, product descriptions, tags of the online e-commerce world.
Priorities.
That is why my default from the overwhelm of all things writing, e-commerce and an online world, is to say to myself, "I don't got time for this" then go paint and set up at artisan markets to show and sell to you lovely humans in person.
Can I be ok with having things ok, not perfect just to get them done. I try, but most imperfections if seen put me on edge. For me a person who procrastinates and is prone to doing the research to "do things right the first time" as well as also treasuring my mug that says, "forget housework, I'm being creative."
I didn’t eat pork and sauerkraut on New Year's Day, but i’m eating it now… Always moving forward.
Your commissions are greatly appreciated! Capturing memories inspire and speak to you on music is truly an honor and encouragement, thank you. Deadlines also help keep me going forward and the painting brings me joy even during overwhelm. Thank You!

Blog post will not get written, website will not get made and online store will not get stocked and open for business...
If I don't get outside, walk and paint!
Prayer and devotions, walk in nature, sketchbook journal and painting, and music are real escapes that quite my mind with thoughtful contemplation while recording the beauty I see, dreams, and cherished memories. These are oasis to nourishes the soul and bring a glimpse of melody to life.... I could stay there forever, but it doesn't get the overwhelming list and goals done, does it?
Did you miss eating my pork and sauerkraut on News Years Day?
Are you moving forward?
What do you do to stay inspired, creative, productive without the overwhelm?
What help you move forward?
May God bless you and yours with a peaceful 2025, Nancy
