Your blog and this article has really resonated with me. I am at a crossroads in my life, closing one chapter of a career and about to open a new one. I really don't know what I'm going to do and I totally understand your comment about collecting creative hobbies like a magpie collects shiny objects. My dream has always been to do something creative and it is a part of me that has been neglected for a long time because most of the things that I have done have been in service to others. I don't yet know which seeds to cultivate and there's a fear of missing out on things I love if I commit to one thing. I had a very narrow commitment in my previous career and I think it was to the detriment of my genuine interest in diverse subjects. I hope to take some inspiration from your blog and to take my next steps with courage and perseverance.
Thank you so much for your comment- It sounds like a brave but brilliant time of change for you. It’s so easy for our creative parts to get neglected, especially when there are lots of different things that we love, and we feel we can’t pursue them all- I know that feeling!
Courage and persistence sound like good things to have as you take the next steps- wishing you the best of luck- let us know how you get on!
I love your question 'which seeds, without guarantees, will we choose to nurture' ❤️
Thank you vicki. It’s a question i intend to keep coming back to.
