Beautiful messes and how they clutter my life with love, laughter, anger and tears.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Everything in my life is either lying on floor, stacked on my desk or scattered all over the room. Trying my best to finish all my projects before the end of the year feels like wishful thinking. But I am so excited to end this year with a bang, so bring it on December.

I was thinking today about how many loose ends and unfinished tasks there are on my list that still needs my attention this year, and how I want to finish them before we take our time off for Christmas.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I feel a bit flustered, but all I need is a good "get your marbles together" and regroup, because I got this!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Isn't it everybody's wish to start fresh at the beginning of the year? What's some of your "MUST" complete missions for the end of the year?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For me, sort and pack our left over papers from this year so that I can do a big giveaway next year.... Yay! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I had the wonderful privilege to white this beautiful poem by Maya Angelou for @ameliasoegijonophoto Workshop in Paris this year, and the words stuck. So everytime I feel insecure as a designer, failure as a mom or uninspiring to all around me, I read this poem - because like all of you lovely ladies out there, I AM ENOUGH!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I’m telling lies.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I say,
It’s in the reach of my arms,
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me
.
I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It’s the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I’m a woman
Phenomenally."
- Maya Angelou, “Phenomenal Woman”

That one CLIENT - and please don't think that I am complaining about anyone, I think it's only fair to get it out there and emphasize the fact that everybody has one. That one client that started off great, that loved your ideas and trusted your every opinion. Then comes the 1st draft, 2nd draft and then it starts… EVERYTHING goes wrong!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You fix it and all is well again. You do the changes, you print the sample and they change the entire design. You change it, fix it and in record time, the game is back on and you press PRINT!!
From this point on my life was going good - the invites will meet their deadline, they look amazing, but you run out of paper, your printer gives you issues, the envelopes come out blurry, and before you know it your behind. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
At this stage you have to make a plan, FIX IT - make it work without stressing the bride and you are done! Queue the drum roll, confetti and champagne. Time to send out the invites…. And then, the dreaded phone call that each graphic designer HATES! Something went wrong somewhere and yup… you look like a total fool…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
WAIT… is this just me? Am I the only one suffering from "Year End Fatigue"?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Please help me!!!
