Knock knock…

…I’m here. Kind of. I feel bad for not taking better care of my blog lately but I’ve been feeling rather down. Or stressed out. I can’t tell the difference sometimes.

My son has been ill for weeks now, sometimes he feels better for a few days, then something else strikes. Flu, infections, fever, the whole package. I feel awful because he feels awful and at the same time life goes on. I feel inadequate, as a mum and as the owner of my business. I cannot for the life my figure out a way to combine the two in situations like these, without going nuts.

This week I was so frustrated with myself, I figured why not just write it down. If anything, it won’t make it worse. I wrapped up some deadlines and hired some people to do the rest, so I can breathe. Maybe I’ll try some painting this weekend but I’m not sure. All my artistic confidence a few weeks ago resulted in a number of unfinished works that I do not dare touch now because I simply lack the peace of mind.

I honestly apologize to everyone who emailed/called me and got no reply. I’m trying to catch up on my private emails, but I hope it’s understandable that work and house hunting are my main priorities right now.

Take care,
Sabra

    Hey Sabra, I checked in frequently here lately to see how you and your fab project(s) are. Frankly, I was quite worried. I’m so glad to see a sign of life just now! Don’t feel bad for anyone else, just take care of the two of you. Sending you strength, good health for your angelic little boy and hopefully some peace of mind soon from the three of us.

    I don't like watermarks. I didn't spent hours creating something just to place a fat notice over it. I therefore ask you kindly to respect my rights as an artist, and not use my images without my permission. I make a lot of resources available to my visitors for free, and you are always free to contact me for help. But don't rip me off. It's bad karma.
