That's How I Roll...

Well, every once in a while I write little tid bits about my life here. I may share an inspirational post, or quote something awesome I heard recently, and I haven't done that in a while. So to answer a question that one of my wonderful blogger friends and many others often ask me..."How do you manage a full time job, a family and crank out amazing Layouts and top it all off by teaching us how to create flowers by doing tutorials. Tell me please".
Well Ms.Holly, to be honest?? Sometimes It aint easy!! You see for the past few years I have been juggling a full time position at the hospital, and Designing layouts for Swirlydoos. I love both jobs. So the balance I've struck lets me carry on into a few other ventures like taking on 2 terms designing for Heartfelt Creations and Guest Designing for a couple of other wonderful sites. I maintain 2 homes, care for my father in law and all of his affairs since my mother in law passed away in March, do an occasional photo shoot, make time for my friends, never let my role fail as the dutiful wife, and try to maintain sanity through this crap called peri-menopause. I give and take, like giving up Heartfelt Creations and taking ZVA Creative. Instead of a wedding , I'll do a newborn shoot, or I'll just say no... I could probably get it all done and then some if I worked till 2 am...But I dont. And I wont. Take care of your body..Doing it "all" shouldn't come at the price of your health. You can't work at your best (or be as fast thinking) if you're letting yourself turn into a zombie from "The Walking Dead"!
It's difficult, but I believe if you love what you do in your creative world, and are willing to manage your expectations, and you learn to say no once in a while, you can make it work. I make it work. That's just how I roll.
When the world seems to be spinning out of control, I turn to Him...And I pray...

Oh and come Saturday, I will be Guest Designing for a wonderful Company!! Come back and check it out!! Then in January another wonderful place, and for CHA I will be promoting another favorite place of mine!! Big things for the new year. Things good for my soul...
