What are your biggest challenges?

It’s encouraging to stand your ground, but sometimes silence is the best method.

One of my biggest challenges is reacting. While I have gotten better, I feel if it keeps happening, it is obviously something I need to work on.

My next challenge, that a lot of women will either admit or deny…is that I forget about the things I own – even things I’ve made. I have been focusing on what I already have, and mixing and matching. I don’t want to get to an age where I own more than I realize, and it just sits there and rots. That actually scares me!

The last challenge I’ll sit is what some call “imposter syndrome,” and in recent years, I have gotten better. There was a time I didn’t consider my art or writing significant. When I took a step back from the madness of my own doing, and societal bs…I began to appreciate my output a lot more. While I am in a better place, I still have creeping thoughts of doubt. I won’t be perfect, but coming to see what I’ve done is more than enough is definitely healing.
