I’m having some juggling to do while on this trip and it is wearing me out. That’s not to say that I’m not having the time of my life. Just that being on a holiday trip is not all that it is cracked up to be and I wanted to give you a little insight to the whole facebook/social media facade that a lot of people get caught up in. So many times it is fake. Happy pictures are posted and a world is crumbling behind them. I try to be real. Not fake. I don’t take selfies and I don’t put my face all over my personal or fan site. It is just not me.

Then we all leave for the UK, where I will work on each of their stories and unique details. I have exactly six weeks to complete this goal along with taking pictures and plotting out some further details that I will need for each story and the locations I will be heading to.

While it is a great idea, I have found that something will ultimately be sacrificed on any given day. It is up to me what that will be.
I have a massive planner that I have work goals, deadlines and reminders written it. It also contains my second job duties and family appts. etc. That planner has helped me with my balance, but also helps me sacrifice something every day so that I can get it all done.

I found that I needed to write today. It is a glorious rainy day. Ha ha ha. Some people, like my husband, think I’m nuts that I love rainy days so much. But I find that rainy days bring more creativity and a forced chance to stay in and do just that. I now see why my friends in the UK bring such amazing work to the world such as Tolkien, Froud’s, Lee, Wyatt, Jason of England and all of the countless others that create in moods and climates like this. Don’t get me wrong, I love sunny days at the beach too. But gloomy gray sky days bring me ideas and a rush to my studio.
