Turn Down For Who

Going into this year, my biggest intention was to open up some space. I have so many good things in my life, but it started to feel like the sheer volume of it was making it harder to appreciate them properly. Most especially, the time I get with my kids.

It’s one thing to have that as an intention, but it’s a whole other thing to make good on it. In this still-young year, it feels like every week I’ve either had to say no to an opportunity that feels too good to pass up or to let go of something I love- but that limits my time.

When it comes to my creative work, I’ve always had a hard time editing things back, even though I know deep down that the restraint makes things more meaningful. I’m willing to accept that the same is true for the rest of life.

But man, sometimes that means making some painful cuts and saying some difficult nos. I know it’s for the better, but wish this part was easier!
