As we were packing and getting her ready to go I started making myself a list of all the things I want to accomplish this week while she\u2019s gone.<\/p>\n<p>A few of my to-do\u2019s:<\/p>\n<p>Go to the YMCA &#8211; 3 times this week<\/p>\n<p>Finish dog painting<\/p>\n<p>Start on Feather painting (I\u2019m so excited about this\u2026 can\u2019t wait to show y\u2019all)<\/p>\n<p>Organize the kitchen<\/p>\n<p>Organize art studio \/ art office<\/p>\n<p>Organize my art classroom for the new year<\/p>\n<p>All of these things are items that I can easily do when Pixie is here. Somehow I managed to trick my mind and tell myself that these big items can only be done when I have no other distractions. Because my mindset was this way I have put off these big items and dreaded them all summer!<\/p>\n<p>If I would just take responsibility and just do it\u2026 I would have had all this energy to put towards something new earlier in the summer!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><b>The reason I say this to you is because you are in control of your life! There is no time like the present to start creating the life you want!\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>I am an artist and I love to paint. I don\u2019t want to look back on my life and wish I would have been an artist or wish I would have been motivated to do the things I love.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m reading a book right now and it talks about how much can happen in just a short time. How our mindset can really affect your attitude which affects your life. Look at your life. Are you living it the way you want to live it in one year, five years or even ten years?<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><b>Your actions today is what determines your future. Even if they are small. <\/b><\/span>Think about what you want and then GO GET IT! Make it happen! Don\u2019t blame others or use them as an excuse that you were too busy to accomplish your goals or creative endeavors. I\u2019m sure if we all look closely at our schedule we can shift a few things around to find a few hours to create or read or whatever we love to do. (My weakness is trash shows like The Bachorlette! I\u2019m sure I would survive if I missed an episode, but wait\u2026 isn\u2019t that what the recording button is for! Haha)<\/p>\n<p>As I write this I realize that even if my to-do list isn\u2019t complete by the time my little girl comes home, I will still get to it\u2026 still accomplish it\u2026. and have some freed up energy to add some more fun creative stuff to my new list!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><b>Just do it!
