I signed up for Art Camp for Women early this year when you were scheduled to teach there. I was so sad to find out you won't be there as I was hoping to meet you in person and learn from you.

BUT, as you say, that is just tiredness speaking and once you have worked for yourself it is very hard to go back to employment and the strictures that means. but you are very good at building in down-time for yourself - all those walks on the beach etc... sigh! Maybe a few more things like that if you need a better work/life balance, to safeguard your physical and mental health? Take care and keep doing what you love, Alisa!Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08901311088838354455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15337568.post-44841004081728140852011-05-18T21:05:43.317-07:002011-05-18T21:05:43.317-07:00it's almost midnight and I'm also preparin...it's almost midnight and I'm also preparing for a class to teach tomorrow night..

I think everyone who puts their heart into something goes through this. Wondering why we push so hard. But it's the firsts (like I'm posting my first tutorial later today!), the good people, the finished pieces, the 'a-ha' moments, the teaching (someday) that make it all worth the days you drag yourself to 'work'.Tiia Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01343896099476222989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15337568.post-48863090716577617032011-05-18T10:12:42.741-07:002011-05-18T10:12:42.741-07:00Well said, Alisa.
