What I’m Working On

26 May What I’m Working On

Forgive me for the radio silence. Apple hates me and all my devices. Where is all my memory?! Uh!

Anyway…

I turned to Sam. “I’m having a writerly conundrum,” I told her.

We were at an after-work event two weeks ago. I was her plus one and we were using the opportunity to catch up.

I took a fashion marketing job, that I’m grateful for (and really like!), it allows me to narrow down my focus outside of work, but I just wondered what that meant for me in the long run.

“I don’t think there is a set path,” she said over the live band.

And she’s right. There isn’t one way to do it, anymore. For me, in this moment, what is most important is maximizing my time outside of the office.

I told myself that if I took the marketing job and let go of the job I came to resent, that I would have to spend that extra time writing. I would have to do something for the blog. Or I would have to be actively working at securing relationships so that I would be able to freelance.

So that’s what I’ve been doing.

I think its working. I think there is something to be said for diligence. So I try to be extra diligent in everything: setting daily intentions, my blog, but mostly, creating a space for my blessings to come to life.

I believe that good things are on the way—and they’ve already started! I’ve been working on really cool blog projects and started contributing to Levo League. There you can find my pieces on fashion in the workplace, totally on brand for me because Levo is all about designing a life that you love.

Isn’t that funny how things work out?

I’m pleased.

Especially because efficiently using my time means that I can explore my neighborhood after a fun but taxing weekend recharging with smartwater—but yay for fun with friends?

What personal goals are you actively working toward? How’s it coming? Are you pleased with your progress?
