facing your dreams spiral

hi - abbey here ! 

it's been a really intense and beautiful few months since my last update on my site. Spiral eyedd has naturally hit the back burner in my grief and chaotic freelance life. But I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired... so I quit my job scooping ice cream and BAM synchronicities have been happening. I truly believe stepping into the energy of what you know is your life path pushes you towards things that align with that journey and frequency. 

I'm on week 4 of the artist's way - the theme is recovering a sense of integrity. I feel like my art has always been passed off in my head as not "a real job" or treating it as a side hustle/extra income in addition to my "real" paycheques that provide stability and certainty. As much as this decision has come from a practical and logic minded place (i.e. having enough resources to do it, consistent opportunities and freelance work) it's still a risk. I don't know what is going to happen, I have detached from all outcomes, but I'm going to give it my all. Betting on myself requires strength and consistency. The biggest thing I've noticed over the last week is staying organized and being strategic with my storytelling + branding is what's going to take my brand to an elevated level. 

The first phase of spiral eyedd has been proving to myself I can actually do something like this. And now that I've taken on the creative risk, I know that if I go all in and give it more focus - I can achieve success. Success to me means consistent sales, in person community offerings, publishing, and pursuing all my creative ideas/projects with clarity. 

Leap and the net will appear says Julia Cameron, well Julia I'm convinced it's time to leap. I'm ready and it's so gratifying to see my journey unfold this way.
