You are open to opportunities and willing to take on work that doesn't necessarily awaken you, but you never know to where it may lead.<br />I so relate to this, I've been avoiding taking on some work because it's the sort I want to leave behind. But it's not easy having no income in these times. So we do what we must, and keep working on what we love.<br />Keep following your heart.<br />Hugs.Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06694559900539722616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704795557309896295.post-16000213305067605722011-02-02T13:24:03.384-05:002011-02-02T13:24:03.384-05:00"Concrete block innards", Honey...this ..."Concrete block innards", Honey...this too will pass.

I know the ideal state is to do a work we enjoy, the one that doesn't feel like working at all... but that is not always possible - even with a dream work there are times or tasks we "have" to do. Do your concrete drawings with passion, feel like they are taking you places, and come back to us as soon as you can!
