I’m often asked, “What’s next?” People want to know how I fill my time now that I’ve simplified my life, gotten rid of most of my stuff, and opted out of the corporate grind. They also want to know how they will spend their time.<\/p>\n

If you are wondering what your life might look like on the other side of a hurried, jam-packed schedule or worry that you won’t know what you’ll do with extra time and space, you are not alone.<\/p>\n

It looks different for everyone and the good news is that you don’t have to figure it all out in advance. That time and space you create will provide answers. You’ll finally be able to hear yourself think and discover what you like to do and really want to do.<\/p>\n

Now that I’ve created time and space in my life, I can be more creative. I’ve used that creative time to focus primarily on photography and writing, but recently, I broke out the watercolors and made a small painting for my friend Tammy. Her mom’s dog, Henry appears throughout Tammy’s book,\u00a0My Morning View: An iPhone Photography Project about Gratitude, Grief & Good Coffee<\/a>\"\"\u00a0and I wanted to capture his essence with brush and paint.<\/p>\n
