life lately


Feeling: Exhausted. Moving wears you out, man. There's nothing like shuffling all of your world possessions between cities, unpacking them, then learning your new routine. We're finally setting into one, but figuring out this city has been overwhelming. It's a big city too. Just taking it one day at a time. 

Thinking: About a LOT of new ideas for my business. This move has forced me to embrace the uncomfortable and it's proving beneficial for The Tabitha Shop. Last night in particular, I stayed up until 2AM with wide eyes and mental gears spinning. 

Loving: My personalized planner. I finally made my own planner since I just couldn't find one that I wanted. It's perfect in every way because it's exactly what I need to stay on track. It shows my three priorities for the day, check boxes for fitness and spiritual goals (business goals get their own page in another binder), space to make sure I'm eating my veggies every day and planning out dinner for the night, an hour-by-hour schedule and a to do list divided into the three work areas of my life (The Tabitha Shop, my day job and personal misc. tasks). I am loving it! 

Trying: New designs. I want to constantly push myself to be better in business and in my art. I see lots of areas for improvement in my work to create meaning instead of slapping a few words on a page and crossing my fingers that they will sell. So I'm working on some new designs. 

Praying: to feel settled. I didn't realize how comfortable I felt until we moved to this new place. Knowing how to get to Target or the grocery store without a GPS is one of my first big goals to feeling settled. That and getting coffee with someone new every week in order to start making friends. It'll take some time, but I'm praying that God would ease the settling in process soon.
