Back

I thought I might share a little retrospective of different projects I completed during the year.

This year has been a life-changer for me.

• I left my theatre teaching job of 25 years to enter a new career.
• I made a Patreon that failed.
• I left Facebook & Instagram for good, and mourned a bit.
• I decided to move out of the community I’ve lived in for 33 years.
• I left Etsy and moved my entire storefront to the fledgling Goimagine, ending my POD offerings.

It’s been a doozy of a year.

But the one constant I’ve found is the joy I feel when I make my art. It counterbalances all the angst and hopelessness I might sometimes feel when things get dark.

It’s a tough world out there right now, and it feels very much in my face all the time! Haha! The only thing I feel I can control is whether I let it control me. The barbs and hooks within life’s grip sometimes make things feel… overwhelming. But my happy place is my art. And I’ll continue to do that no matter what comes. Because they can’t take that away from me.

I’m SO PROUD of what I’ve made! I am happy to celebrate it! I’ve grown so much! I made some lovely stuff I’m really surprised came out of my own hands and head! I’m so excited for the future!

So no matter what comes I will only move forward. I’m not going back. I can’t. I won’t.
