I was sick for a bit last week, but really it helped me spend some much needed time on thinking, planning and goal setting. Yes, I said 'goal' setting. I realize it is much harder to go about accomplishing your goals if you forget you have them. If you forget what you want all together, it takes a little while to put the train cars back on track.
Since I only get sick a few times a year, i know to pay attention when i do, i'm going to be spending a lot of quiet time with "me" and that's not always so comfortable. We are our own worst critics.
This time around, it happens to have just lurched into a seasonal change, and i feel most like molting at this time. Like shedding in preparation for a winter of work. I get more done when the outside is not inviting me to lounge around and read.
It might have just been time or i might have finally realized the things i do to avoid my own plans. Habits can be broken. Habits can be reformed. That's what i'm working on. Across all aspects.So i share with you some pictures of past "Unfinished Projects" being worked on:

At the same time, i was dealing with my goals being not in proportion to what i have. I was taught somewhere along my life to "work with what you have". That should be tattoo'd on someone out there. I woke up this morning thinking about how i needed almost eleven employees to help me successfully run my business. Then repeated "Work with what you have" until i got it. I discovered the path through my personal chaos of working.
This master plan involves twelve distinct roles i must encompass in order to make a smooth operation of my success. Twelve characters i've created, each having a specific duties in the "Mammal Chupie" studio. This is going to get interesting. Needless to say, i've discovered a way to entertain myself into accomplishing all the tasks i could imagine.
More on this later.
Ciao.
