Week 13 9th-15th December

The things that I learnt from this week’s work is to be grateful for the things that happen or don't happen in your life. After having a week’s break after my studio closing for the summer holidays, I realised that I am grateful for routines. We normally feel routines are boring and we can’t' wait for the holidays to arrive. This is all true but after the weeks break, I started to notice my children were feeling irritable and grumpy. My husband and I sat the boys down and told them that for the next 2 weeks before my husband went onto leave for the holidays, we were going to back to our schoolwork schedule. Then after that we will have a break enjoy Christmas and New Year and go on our yearly family holiday. They started today 11th December, and it went well. They were happier than a few days ago.

I really enjoyed the book we had to read these past few weeks. I told my children about: “The Farmer and his sons.” It is better to stand together with people that you can trust than to stand alone. We are stronger because there are more ideas. We also need to make sure that when we do have people along our path that they have the same values and visions as you do.

I am very excited for my business is bigger and I have more customers. I know that this will bring on more stress and more challenges. I do need to prepare for that. This is when I will need to be able to have boundaries in place as my business is on my home. When I am with family, and I have set time aside for them I will need to be strong enough to let customers know this. In fact, this happened the other day when I was closed already for the holidays and had a lady call for clothing. It was 5:30pm and that was long past been closed. I was with my family and saw it was getting dark. I told her kindly that I can assist the next day but unfortunately, I never heard back from her. These types of things will happen, and I release that is okay.
