...cleaning up...
Did a major cleaning this weekend. When I was in California I went through old magazines and donated a bunch to the local library.
It is so freeing to let go.
That is going to be my mantra this year.
Johanna is making the move back west, which means I am moving into more of a painting role and we are getting a new person at work to take over my dealing with people part of the job.
I am excited and very nervous at the same time. When I started the job it was a mess and I have created something that I am proud of and it is scary to walk away even if I am walking towards something I want.
Maybe even more because I am walking towards something I want.
This picture sums up the frame of mind I have right now, but I am starting to feel more grounded and getting ready to let go.
I find it starts with magazines.
I have some 'HOW' magazine issues if anyone is interested.
June 2005 creativity issue **taken
October 2005 self-promotion issue **taken
December 2005 business home/work issue
February 2006 typography issue **taken
One Beautiful/Decay issue **taken
One Mary Janes Farm Fall 2005 issue

Congrats, Wendy! It is so scary to succeed sometimes, but I think that's just wonderful for you.
I also love how you use the photo to describe your frame of mind, very descriptive!
