Let's (Finally) Do This...

I've had my fair share of hmmmms and hawwwwws.

I've always LOVED art, but wasn't sure if I wanted to turn my favourite hobby into another job.  I didn't want to add any more pressure to my crazy life. 

I have a day job (marketing).

I have two young kids (a job in itself).

I have two animals (add in more work and mom guilt).

Too many things are in the way of me trying to do more with my art.

Until....

I was restructured from my job (good-bye 40 hours/week of stress) 

My kids got a little older (9 & 11). 

My animals also got older (with my dog happy to only do a walk around the block).

I had the time and energy to do something for me. 

Maybe now is the best time to really make my art hobby a real thing. A thing that can feel like a real business. 

I know it's going to be hard. 
I know that I will question whether I'm any good at this. 
I know that if I don't do it, I will always wonder if I could've.

So, here I am. Doing the thing.

Even if I don't become a world famous artist, I'm proud of myself for taking the leap and putting the effort behind something that I love to do.
