You will have to excuse my absence online the last couple of days- I have been playing MAJOR catch up and am happy to say that after a few 15 hour days in the studio I am finally on top of everything (for a while). Lots going on here- lots of great opportunities that have been developing and then a handful of dead ends (rejections) that have sort of sent me in a bit of spin lately. You would think after years of art class critiques in high school and college and then just tons of rejection working as an artist for years, I would get used to it but it is still just as hard to deal with and usually causes me to question EVERYTHING. But thankfully I have a great husband who brings me to my senses and lots of work to keep me distracted- I am so enjoying some new ideas, new work and new possibilities I have been focussing on!
In other news-

Well, I believe everything happens for a reason. There is a lot of stuff that IS working for you right now, so maybe the rejections are helping to keep the focus where it needs to be right now. If all you ever got was "yes" it would be hell. Right? Every time you pull a "no" out of the basket, it puts you closer to the "yes" that's in there waiting... Deep breaths.
