Its a Wrap -

So, my solo show closed yesterday. I am so many things right now: relieved, excited, happy, content.....and feeling like there is a lot of work to be done as far as following up with people, thanking people, using my good reviews to garner more work and visibility for myself and looking into other places to do my show......although that thought, right now, is seriously exhausting.

But that's the thing isnt it? We are always hungry for more......The show wasnt even over and I was already thinking, ok what's next and having a little anxiety. So I know my personal work for the next few days is to be ok with being right where I am. To relish this moment - the personal and professional success of the show (which I'll get into later) and to REST. More than anything: I really need to rest.

I am so friggin TIRED I could die. I am exhausted in every way imaginable. My body aches, my mind is buzzing and my thoughts are all over the place. Doing this show was like a freaking exorcism. I really challenged myself and pushed myself as far as I could go. And I learned a TON (more on that later too).

Right now, I just need to take a nap. And this week I need to be out in the sun. And to go to a yoga class and begin to "rehabilitate" my body and my mind.....

I am going to see family soon and I am REALLY looking forward to getting away - and frankly my body and mind both need this. I need to shut down and be with loved ones....

But right now - its nap time! As much as I want to work - that workaholic in me wants to run around like a crazy woman - I know my artist needs rest - I need to "fill the well" as the author of The Artist's Way puts it --

(if you havent done The Artist's Way - its a must!)

So here I go. See ya, workaholic part of me. I need my rest!
