I was feeling a little down and unmotivated yesterday. I was looking at the creativity that was coming out of people and wondering why I wasn't fully helping support our family out financially. Sitting at the computer, "working" for hours, and I wasn't getting anything done. I started a blog draft, opened 8,000 tabs and proceeded to distract myself from doing what I was supposed to be finishing. Apparently I don't have that type A personality which lets me just sit and work... hook or online.
I didn't even pick up a crochet hook until after Dr. Destructo was in preschool and after I read this post from Dave on Fresh Rag: You Are Powerful Beyond Measure. Then I read the this Etsy Quit Your Day Job about a lady who sells crochet patterns... AS HER JOB!!!. Cue the phone and Hubs regarding longer hours his job and me getting angry that we depend on his paycheck so friggin' bad. So yeah. That set my butt in motion.
I hear you, Universe. I'm on it. Basically, my power to do whatever I need is already inside of me. I just need to get myself together and do it. DO IT. DO IT. Putting in my talent, creativity, and hard work (not messing around on the computer.... that isn't the same), should trigger what needs to happen will. I'm fighting (in the nicest way possible) to carve out the niche of what I want to do. I sat down, and mapped out a plan. I made a realistic list of things that need to be completed in the span of this month, and I will take it from there. It's time to work my tush off and get the work done. Yarn flew through my fingers and now I have 3 mostly finished mini pocket monsters. I found my fight, and I'm letting go of the doubt.
Now if I can just find a response to "Oh they look just like those ugly monster dolls" when people talk to me about my monsters... Anyway, it's Friday, so check out Wisdom Begins in Wonder if you need more of a blog reading fix.
