We all face the challenge of how to carve out the time for the important stuff. We live busy lives in an increasingly busy world.
This very day I’m working on the habit of consciously living a simpler life. I ask myself, what can I not do? What can I do without? Not in an effort to deprive myself or to become a martyr to my art, but simply to make time for the people and practices that are most meaningful to me.
I think of Georgia O’Keefe cloistered in the solitude of her studio in Abiquiu, New Mexico. She left a husband and the art world of New York City to simplify her life and become one of the greatest artists ever. She carved out the time. Lots and lots of time.
Let’s keep in touch,
