This is your life......

“This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be”
-switchfoot

I have been blessed with an amazing life, an amazing husband, family, and friends..
When I talk about the above lyrics im talking more so about my career life? or lack there of ;)

I want to do something with my life that I am proud of.
I want to do something that I enjoy.

Recently we have had a few lay-offs at our office.
It has me so stressed and worried.
Every day I go in and Im in a bad mood.

I know that I am meant for something else.
I believe God gave me a creative heart for a reason.
And I feel like I am wasting it.
However, I know that I am so fortunate to even have a job right now
And I think that is what is holding me back from taking a step anywhere outside of my little box.
My husband is always encouraging me to take a leap and go for something
But it always comes down to me thinking about money and a mortgage!
Oh that lovely mortgage! :)

I have a few Dreams of my own.....

I would love to eventually go somewhere with my photography
Right now school is too much with working full time, only because all of the art classes are 3 hours long x2 a week. So 2 classes would take up an entire week in which case I would work from 8-5 and have class from 6-9, or 7-10 everyday.

mmm, not a fan
Im thinking of taking weekend classes in the city.
But they can get pricey too.

I want to do something that will enable me to be home with my kids when the time comes.
My mom was able to stay home with us and I love the though of that.
I know it is not always plausable but im crossing my fingers for the future :)

Anyway, Sorry for a semi-downer post.
Just something I've been thinking about lately.



Hope all of you have such a wonderful day!!!!

Im stoked for this weekend. A Wedding and Pierogi Fest!!

  1. It is so so hard to find the right balance of doing what you "have to" and doing what you love!! I am in a similar situation.. I am working enough that I don't get to put a lot of quality time into my artwork but every waking moment I am not working I am thinking of ways to make a living doing what I love!

    I too dream of staying home with my children... and if things go according to plan, (which they won't because it is all in God's hands!) then I have about 5 years to figure it out! lol.

    But I am just so thankful to have a job right now...

    I pray you find ways to use the creativity God gave you! : D
