I am currently on a layover in Denver and almost home. I had a really great trip to Winnipeg. It could have been awkward and it could have been amazing and happily it landed on the good side.
I learned a lot of different things about art, type, my damn camera lens, motherhood, marriage, painting, Lululemon, skincare & David’s Tea. (More on those last four will be coming soon.)
But as I sit here on my computer and get my head back into “work mode” for the first time in two weeks, two things that we talked about a lot are circling my brain.
ONE : social media only works if you enjoy it. If you don’t have to think about it, you’re probably doing it right.
TWO : nothing rings as true as authenticity. It’s impossible to please everyone and trying to do so will drive you insane and turn your work into vanilla.
And so for September, I am going to try a new experiment. I’m not going to look at the numbers. Google Analytics? We are on a break. I am not going to worry about what posts get the most hits or how many comments are coming through. I am not going to think, am I tweeting too much? Am I tweeting to little? Is it okay if I hate facebook? Is this post relevant? Am I relevant? Am I going to make money? Am I right? Am I wrong? Am I crazy?
I’m just going to roll with it.
Happy September. I am so excited to get back to work I might just skip the plane and fly home by my own power.
