Ideas… Stories… Items… Photos… (etc.)

It’s exciting and fun and inspiring!

And it can also be exhausting.

So, as I reflect on my place in the patchwork of it all, I’m trying to remind myself of the importance of creating because I *want to create, because I’m inspired to create, not because I’m standing on some hamster wheel and feel like I have to…
