Clarity.  Okay. Deep Breath. Let’s start with this.  I got a job. I actually got two jobs and went with the one that I originally wanted and that gave me a better opportunity. It’s a job in design.

Clarity. 

Okay. Deep Breath. Let’s start with this. 

I got a job. I actually got two jobs and went with the one that I originally wanted and that gave me a better opportunity. It’s a job in design. I am working in online banner ads for a local paper. It’s great. The people seem great, the location, the boss, the pay, the building, the experience on my resume, the opportunity to learn more about an aspect of design that I didn’t know. This is the place for me at this time. 

I also know, that this is not what I want to do forever. Not that I believe that you should do any one thing forever. But here’s the thing. I haven’t quite figured out what it is that just makes my heart jump for joy. I mean, I know aspects of it, and I know that it is out there but I just haven’t seen it all quite clearly yet. Although I feel it. It is here. I am close.

So this is what I feel I need to make room for clarity.  I am going to take a pause and just

SIMPLIFY. 

And I mean in every-way. 

Material Things

Material Attachments

Accumulated Clothes and Shoes

Paperwork

People in my Life. 

Dirt

Clutter

The best design is (most) always the simplest. I am going to simplify my life to make room for more and for clarity. 

How’s that for some hippie shit? 

Love,

Wrapping Banners. I don’t know why that makes laugh. Guess I’m just too visual.

Changes

It seems to me that perhaps life goes in cycles.

So, I’m a little over-stimulated right now. But it’s in a totally controllable and productive kind of way. It’s prob a good way to handle stress. There are possibilities flying at me from all over and keeping them in order is a priority. Maybe the sun and a little fun has stimulated me and helped to keep me motivated. 

Now it’s time to get [back] down on it. (did that song pop into your head). 

I am at a little bit of a crossroads here. I am running out of funds and might have to start thinking about some options which may lead to some major changes. I’m a little nervous about this, but so far I haven’t let it bring me down or stress me out that much. I am so far staying positive and trying to see where my life is leading me. There is lot of hard work, but… there is also being able to be flexible with what happens. 

Either way, something is going to change here. 

much love

Two Interviews in two weeks. Not bad. At least it feels like all the weeks are starting to pay off.
13 Week Goals / Week 19
Kombucha spill in the purse. Smellin a little like malt liquor. Now THAT’S how ya do an interview.

In a good way. I just got all these leads at once. Good thing I have a Google doc to keep them all straight. I need some extra focus this week. Going for a run.

(13 Week Goals | Week 19)

Timely Numbers of Unemployment

I have 15 min before a phone interview

and I am 4 hours past a previous phone interview from somewhere else.

I am writing to kill time.

I am 15 weeks into my 13 week goals

and have 8 weeks left of paid unemployment.

I have one proposal for time and money estimations due on Monday

and a possible album cover project.

I have one book to finish.

I have one poster to price out printing costs

and one website to update with photos and text edits.

This is my unemployment.

And I’ve killed enough time to get ready for this phone call.

Wish me luck.
