That’s fantastic Lisa! Since leaving university I’ve found had some new opportunities present themselves and I’m still managing to ‘squeeze’ it all in:)

Wow, you are Superwoman! Good on you for investing in the things you love, especially in such a committed way as university. I too have been making an effort to do the things I enjoy (painting and writing) and whilst I haven’t tackled anything as serious as you have, I am so much happier having made the effort to do something. It even inspired my blog.
Nicely done!

Busy is one thing, but we have to remind ourselves that too busy for what makes us feel great and connected and creative — that’s just way too busy!
I cut out time to write my children’s stories, and often illustrate on the fly — breaks at the office, at coffee shops, even at a stop light!

This article was heartfelt and so true…
thanks!

At the age of 42 and mum to a 10 year old and a two year old I am soon to resign from the University I’ve worked in for a little over 15 years. I’ve finally plucked up the courage to pursue my creative passions. I’d be lying if I pretended the excitement wasn’t tinged with fear… It’s great to read your words of encouragement!

I had come from the library with a laptop and books in a bag across my shoulder and a carrier bag of another five books in my right hand. In my left hand I was checking my messages and sending a text to my husband to say I was on my way home.

You bring all that life experience and passion to what matters most in the present. It’s not what comes first, it’s what lasts. Congrats.
