Fighting the Light

Dear Friends,

As some of you know, I moved this past weekend, yes, again.  This time, with much excitement, to my permanent place…no more moving for the foreseeable future for me!

I’ve set up three different studio spaces prior to this one…and one feature of all three prior spaces was me “fighting the light”. At various times in the day, the light would shine directly into my studio, and so it was always a battle to keep the light from coming in.

Prior to my move last weekend, when I was thinking about which room to use for my bedroom and which room to use for my studio, I realized the bigger room in the house was on the back of the house, where I can potentially keep my blinds open all year long and get wonderful indirect sunlight all day, but never fight with the direct sunlight.

As I’ve been thinking about this the past several days, as I’ve been enjoying looking at the trees outside my window as I’ve been teaching, I’ve been thinking about how those small annoyances are just that, they’re just small annoyances.  And yet, those small annoyances sometimes add up, they sometimes have the power to eat away at us and create stress and irritation.

Sometimes we have no choice but to keep moving forward even in those spaces of small annoyances…but I think there are times when we can think creatively to mitigate some of those small annoyances and create a little less stress and irritation in our lives.

I hope you have an amazing week, my friend.

Love
Krista
