Being a mom and trying to be an artist (or anything else) is no joke. It can feel like an unrelenting struggle trying to be all the things – all the time. I’m working on telling myself that its okay to just ..be. I’m proud that I have hung on tight to the things that are going to make me feel fulfilled in my work. I want my kids (especially my little girl) to see the incredible value in that. I’m also proud of the times that I have taken a step back and given myself the space to just be present with my family. Because there have been times that I’ve worked incredibly hard and times that I’ve had to take significant breaks. Our energy is limited and so precious. Mamas do what you need to do to feed your soul, whatever that may look like for you. Most importantly – be gentle with yourselves. You are doing enough.
