Dear Reader, 

On Monday I wrote about my return to social media, after writing a book detailing how to pay closer attention to your life without it. A complicated decision in many ways, one that took me months to feel comfortable writing or sharing about.

The Regret of Deleting Instagram

Building a New Archive

In thinking about returning to a platform that causes me addictive tendencies I started to get more curious about what it was I was missing, or what it was I was feeling like I didn’t have access to without it that made me want to come back.

One element that I am always thinking about is the ecosystem of my creative business. I think of myself as an artist first and a business owner second, but being self employed has looked so many different ways over the last thirteen years.

Today I thought I’d talk about what I’ve noticed in the last year of deleting my account and then returning, how my attention is the same and different, and the truth about my Profit and Loss statements.

I spent some time in my Quickbooks yesterday looking at the numbers and reports, comparing this year to the past years.
