There are some weeks when I feel like I am absolutely chasing my tail.  I think of all of the things I need to do and get overwhelmed.  Let me just start with saying that I do not have kids yet so to all of you moms I commend you!  I am sure I sound pretty silly compared to you superwomen!

I currently have two official jobs in addition to pursuing this dream with my artwork and trying to take care of all of my horses.  I have big dreams for them as well!  Until this past year, my main focus was my horses.  They still are, but I have changed my perspective on how to go about achieving my goals with them.  I want to have a little breeding program, small scale compared to most, but I have always enjoyed raising and showing the babies!  I have learned that there needs to be quite a bit of selling involved to keep this going in the right direction, which I admit is difficult for me.  The thought of them being successful and going on to make other’s dreams come true has been a new source of pride, and I love it just as much.  Growing up opens new windows that change our view on life, that is for sure.

 I am rambling a little bit to ultimately say this week has kicked my butt!  Trying to focus on new things for each business while remembering all of the things I need to accomplish to do a good job at everything is difficult.  Whenever I get to that overwhelmed stage I mentioned, I think about how cool it is that I can even do the things that I am doing.  There are many quotes out there that basically mean give yourself a break.  So that is what I try to do. I pat myself on the back and think of how far I have come in all of these aspects and remind myself of the small victories each day. 

All of this being said, this week I collaborated with Destiny Norris and Destiny’s One of a Kinds on some new ideas for my studio, got my horses ready to go to one of my favorite shows of the year, wrote a couple of articles for Cutting Horse Central, and sent out applications for a few new insurance prospects!  Now that I think about it this week did not kick my butt; I kicked its butt! 

I have learned over time this is the best way to look at things. Lord knows I do not always do it right off the bat, but I eventually find my way.  For all of you out there doing a million things at once, you are awesome; continue to be go-getters.  Everything will get done, and your dreams will be achieved.  We got this!!
