The History and Art of Shedding Skin


The History and Art of Shedding Skin


Shedding skin is not an easy thing. It belongs in the same family of life-altering events as accepting change. I am slowly realizing, though, that I have to make some changes to my life. I need to move away from the project that has been vampiring my time and get back to me. It is now a blemish (like one that requires serious acne removal) and leaves me with little time to think. That does not even speak to making time to write and do art. I have not figured out how to make a graceful exit - or if it should even be graceful - but I do know that if I am going to continue living my purpose, I cannot do that building someone else's dream. Getting back to your own dreams is no easy thing. It forces you to remember who you are and do something about your pace. Most of us are afraid of this, eh?
