an autumn promise to myself - a misty October vlog
I only was able to film some snippets of my Autumn days due to visiting my sister - but I wanted to take this chance to answer a lovely note I received from a viewer. They asked about making youtube videos and working full time in a creative field. Even though I still involve elements of teaching into my days, right now I’ve been spending a lot of time learning from my mistakes while working as an artist. I personally value staying true to your core values while starting out on a new project, life path, or career - and to let your passion and inner compass show you the way. That isn’t to say that your beliefs and philosophy behind your decisions shouldn’t be flexible and open to change, only that it’s so important to stay in touch with yourself through your journey, and make sure your decisions are in alignment with who you are and what you value. It is so easy to get caught up in comparison and competition, to be tempted to make decisions simply to gain more success or money (and consequently forget what you wanted to do in the first place) - but when what motivates you is bigger than that, I believe you will feel the most free. I am still on that journey, and learning as I go, and it means so much to share with you along the way.
