Comparison

Short Term Work

I feel like it’s been a while since I’ve written. I feel this back up, what I call ‘creative constipation’, happening. There are things I want to write about, it’s just taking the time to write about them. And Time, per say, right now, isn’t necessarily an issue — not like when I worked atContinue reading “Short Term Work”

A Bunch of Rambling

It’s way too late to be writing, and, yes, I am tired, but I also haven’t written in awhile and things seem to be building up again. I can feel an introspective, writing mood coming on and I’m going for it. I think one of the things I like about writing is that you canContinue reading “A Bunch of Rambling”

GotContinue reading “Comparing Myself to Myself”

Comparison & Criticism

Last week I started illustrating the Psalms. I’ve always wanted to do it. My goal: Write and illustrate a Psalm a day. Day Two: It quickly became aparent to me that I wasn’t going to fill the goal of a Psalm a day. There was too much other stuff I wanted or needed to doContinue reading “Comparison & Criticism”

Comparison

Comparison is a killer. Comparing my art, my blog, my business, my social media feed, my house, my style, my decorating, my kids, my life to someone elses is a killer. In January I told myself that this would be the year I would (With God’s help) try to break free from the trap ofContinue reading “Comparison”
