i havent touched my art journal in months....tsk tsk...been too busy working on other projects...including my Project life albums (which Im also behind on) and my jewelry business which surprisingly has been busy...now to add to the to do list is: Studying for my LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Work) board exams, figuring out if its worth ordering custom beautiful jewelry bags with my name (anita ladhani designs) on it ($1 per piece), exploring companies to order custom jewelry tags but first finalizing the logo... and not to mention, keeping up with my 16 year old who is off in Africa on a missionary trip along with 60 other youth from across the world...and my 13 year old who is obsessed with skateboarding....(so making sure he doesnt fall back into bad company (went thru the whole pot/ bad friends/ calling the cops on him/ him making homemade bongs from things from the garage...then figu out his ADHD and the right meds) hmmmmm!!!! and to add to all of this, is to keep up with my part time job at the local hospitals psych ward 2 days a week... oh and being in a serious friendship (aka relationship) which is slowly but surely moving toward something permanent!!!! AAAAHHHHH!!!! Ive been a single mom for 10 years...and started with a 2 year old and a 5 year old...not i have a 13 year old and a 16 year old...and I am sooo grateful for the support and help from my family.and until 2 weeks ago I was completely content in being single (no marriage etc) until the kids were in college...but they left for Cancun for a week and altho theyve gone on plenty of trips....last week was diff... I suddenly felt sooooo alone and without purpose...and realized that I cannot put my life on hold...my personal life on hold for the children. It was fine to do so up till now but now they were old enough and independent enough to move on....which was a HUGE shift in my outlook...sorry am rambling....have not shared any of this with any of my friends...have wanted to blog about this stuff for soooo long but dont want to put my sons private issues out in public...but felt safe to share here....so sorry for the long post......Wow...I just re read my words and this was def a brain/ heart dump..just felt like sharing here was a safe space and I thank you in advance for allowing me to be a part of this group! I truly feel grateful and privileged!!!
