I have a special talent for finding myself creatively busy. Overly committed? Possibly. Being idle is not for me. I might have overdone it a bit this year though, that is why I have been having to rethink and re-balance things…
I’ve had the honour of being accepted to a Master of Research program at Macquarie University and receiving a scholarship for the tuition, I was accepted for the second year as I have a previous Master of Creative Writing from UTS (Coursework). Find details of my research in my post Dancing with Diversity.
I have also have the privilege of now being hired as a fix-term employee by DHL Express, a large multinational with a great record of Great Place to Work.
I also released something that had been a long-time dream of mine, my podcast on creative process, my creativespacemastery.com in two languages. That is the one that I had to put on hold for a little while. I have been trying to release the last episode in English of season 1, and continue the episodes in Portuguese, but I haven’t been finding the energy and time. It was weighing heavily on me.
Finally, I had to give myself the space, officially publish that they are on hold until I can get back to them, and concentrate on the research and work until I can get back to my podcasts when I feel a bit recharged. It wasn’t an easy decision. But it was the best I could do with the time I had on hand. I have had to make an agreement with the Universe, I will continue, as always, to do the best that I can with the gifts and privileges that I have received in this life, but I cannot do any better than that, than this.
