This has been a challenging month. I haven’t blogged in, well, a really long time. I’ve had little time for anything creative. I’ve had little time for anything other than taking care my family, and wrapping my brain around the fact that I am embarking on a new life-path as a birth and post-partum doula.
I’ve been experiencing a creative deficit.
Memorykeeping takes time and energy. It requires commitment and space. Me? I’m deficient in all four of those things right now. It seems that once a few weeks have gone by without taking a photo, or making something, it becomes easier to just not do anything. But I miss doing fun things, being crafty, and having a project going. And it sure isn’t for lack of material! My son turned one, and he’s a little firecracker who does amazing things all day, every day. I’m getting ready to start work on a .com site for my budding doula work.
Like I said, not for lack of material. Laziness is more like it, I think. Or tiredness. That damn time-change really does a number on me. Anyone else?
Anyway, I’ve got some catching up to do. I’ve got some major mojo to regain. I’ve got some projects to start. I’ve got some projects to finish. I think I missed some official version of NaBloPoMo, which I had really wanted to participate in, so I’m just going to make this the first in my own NaBloPoMo month. Thirty days, starting today, of my genius thoughts on life, here on this blog. Sometimes you just need a kick in the pants to get going again. And I need to see some treadmarks on my backside!
