I’ve started to notice a change in my self-confidence lately. I don’t know the cause of the change, but it’s a good change. For the first time in a very long time, I feel valuable. My outlook is positive, even as the atmosphere in Michigan is somewhat bleak.
I started my yoga class again this week. I’ve been three times since Monday, and I tried a cardio-kickboxing class with my sister on Tuesday. My muscles are sore, but my spirit feels great. (Sore vs Soar. Get it?) I’ve decided yoga class is something more than simply an enjoyable activity to me. Yoga is important. It’s more than important. It’s necessary. I must continue to make yoga class a part of my life for the good of my whole being—mind, body, and soul.
I’ve been sitting on my new jewelry idea for a couple weeks now because my torch needs repairing. The torch is a little more than a year old, and already I’ve had to service it twice. The first problem was a faulty regulator which was upgraded at no charge to me. This time, it’s a problem with the oxygen valve. I don’t know yet what that will mean to my pocketbook. Being the impatient artist I am, it’s a little frustrating to have the idea, and the time, and the motivation, but no torch. I’m using my down time to rework my website and redesign new business cards though.
The craft show I wrote about a few weeks ago is on Saturday. Obviously, no torch means no jewelry which means no craft show for me this time. I’d like to walk the show and see if it would have been a good first show for me though. The same group holds another show in the fall, so maybe I can be ready by then. I’m not holding my breath or anything, just toying with ideas.
