We all could learn from your persistence, as there are very few artists that can solely follow their dreams and deal with the day to day realities of life. Your an inspiration! Life IS too short, and you have found a good balance that works!! Working at home can be a challenging, but you have made it work.

I'm very lucky that I don't have to spend 40 hours a week in a cubicle or waiting tables to fund my dreams.<BR/><BR/>Working at home isn't as great as it sounds, though. Now that my work is in my home, I find that I have to go out to be able to write. It's a side effect I was not expecting!Donna Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12456352318216873030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36980566.post-19744586459105936312007-10-27T03:50:00.000-06:002007-10-27T03:50:00.000-06:00How fortunate you are, Donna, to have found a bill...How fortunate you are, Donna, to have found a bill-paying "day job" where you can work at home and still enjoy some of the benefits of steady employment while finding time for your own passions. Not everyone is quite so fortunate, even when s/he tries to balance passion with such basics as earning enough to keep a roof over one's head and food on the table.ClaireWalterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09795226291784652838noreply@blogger.com
