Last night I listened to a good conversation between Kate Bowler and Elizabeth Gilbert on creativity. One of my favorite things Liz Gilbert said was (loosely paraphrasing): In our culture we get so obsessed with having a higher purpose, as if having/living a life isn't pretty incredible on its own. This hit me hard.

I also started Katherine May's "Wintering." So, I think I'm just going to hunker down and accept the season for what it is.

I finished my backyard studio (over a year in the making) and yet, here I sit in the kitchen. My bread is proofing for another three hours, the dog is always going to be needy, whether I'm here or not (and will survive) and I am making lists rather than getting out there. I loved this post. It is all about practice, isn't it? I know this well. Time to bring the kindling to the studio and carefully start making the fire. And I will definitely make up the loft bed for Bridget!
