A Race To The ... Starting Line

I've been super busy getting ready for the exhibition and the re-opening of my Etsy shop.  I've got a great big to do list that involves all sorts of logistics, research, planning and doing.  It's a big list, but one that I'm more than happy to be working through.  I think it's my favourite to do list ever.

Late last night, when I was tired and wanted to stop, I thought "gee I'll be so happy when I get all this work finished.  Just a few more weeks and it will all be done".

And then it occurred to me!  This isn't a project that will be finished shortly.  This is a beginning.  The beginning.  This is the start of my creative business.  This is a race ... to the starting line.

So today I grabbed my to do list and I added some things for late July and early August.  A few things that will give me focus and keep the momentum beyond the starting point.  Don't worry, I gave myself some time to celebrate and unwind after the initial sprint.  I just wanted to help myself move into the marathon part of my journey with a sense of purpose and some direction.

Oh, and just to clarify, because I've seen a few people mention the wrong date around blogland.  The opening night for my exhibition is July 22nd.  I don't want you to get all rugged up and come out tomorrow night.  There won't be anything to see except a closed cafe.
