Taking a moment to step back and see that a whole bunch of that stuff I used to daydream about has become real life.
Life at home with the kids and Deanna is a dream come true. So is being able to go places and explore the world while doing creative work I find meaningful.
There’s been a steep learning curve around how to make the space for it all, and Deanna has been so incredibly gracious and generous as I’ve been learning, but I can honestly say most days I go off to do work I love doing and then I get to come home to a life I love.
I’ve gotten some of the most exciting work, travel, and creative opportunities I’ve ever gotten in the past couple of years. And in between all of that I’m finding places to play, come back to my body, connect with people, and build community.
Days are packed and three kids give me a lot of plates to spin. There are lots of logic puzzles to be solved every week about how to make it all fit. But it hasn’t been lost on me that life right now is about as sweet and full as it's ever been.
