Hello world…it’s been a long time.
I’ve been doing a lot of inside work and figuring out my focus. I guess it’s the fact that 2008 is just (at press time) one week away. My 36th birthday is just 1 month away. Playtime’s over…time to start doing the things I was meant to do. Time to stop procrastinating, time to stop making excuses, time to stop avoiding what I’m supposed to be doing in life. All this time I’ve been saying “I don’t know” what I’m supposed to be doing, when in fact, I just refuse to accept it. I keep running away. That explains a lot about why I have the recurrent dream that I’m trying to escape from somewhere. I’ve been having this dream for years. Dream analysis says that there’s something I’m avoiding. Doesn’t take a genius to figure out what it is, considering all the inner turmoil I’ve been through…all the ill-fitting, dead-end “what were you thinking!”jobs I’ve had in my life. It’s all because I’ve never accepted that I’m supposed to be doing something creative. Up until now, I’ve referred to it as my hobby, my ‘childish things’. Now I’m embracing it, and moving forward with a plan to be successful at this.
Wish me luck, though luck has nothing to do with it really…just determination.
With that said, I am changing the focus of this blog. I haven’t been doing any home projects in a while, and I don’t anticipate that I’ll be doing any for a while. I am at this point dedicating my time to JesPlayin‘, my online craft store.
On that note, I will be opening a new blog, dedicated to that venture. It will host information about my new products and new crafts I’m exploring. Once that blog is set up and running, I will put the link on this one, so my public can find me.
Hi, I just stumbled across your blog, and I wanted to say that I enjoy it.
I totally feel you in this post. –I SO have the t-shirt for this one. That being said, recently I stumbled across Creative Time Management for Creative People–here’s the link to the author’s blog (cut and paste).

It helps you forge room in your life for your creative time. Personally, I also think it all lends itself to helping to find that always-elusive sense of focus as well.
Hope you can benefit from it.
