As of early September, my partner and I have welcomed a new member to our family! It’s been such a wild time learning who she is and shifting our lives to take care of this brand new little person.
I am someone who thrives off of planning and considering possible solutions to future disruptions, issues or challenges. In other words, I like to hope for the best but plan for the worst. The funny thing is, when it comes to a new baby, you can’t really plan for what will happen. I’ve had to let go of some of the habits that I’ve used to feel a sense of control, some of which I’ve used to maintain a form of personal wellness. But I’m looking forward to this next cycle of life. Learning how to adapt and go with the flow. I wonder whether it will allow me to experience life with a different type of mindfulness?
Anyways, things are very different now. Life has totally changed. And there’s a level of knowing what the focus will be in the immediate future but also, not knowing what this next year will look like.
In terms of projects, I’m just finishing up a collaboration with jewelry maker and artist, Mad Aunty. I’ve been working on it as of July and there’s been a few remaining details to sort out. I believe that as of this weekend it’s all good to go and I look forward to a big announcement of the collaborative launch sometime this Fall!
Additionally, I’ve been commissioned to draw a comic for VANCAF! I’m so excited about this and will keep you posted on publication details once they are available.
Finally, I will be finalizing my thesis defence in the early New Year. Fingers crossed for a successful process!
