Hi! I'm Ruth in Nebraska, she/her. Right now I am working part time at a non-profit but I think I'm going to quit to spend the summer with my kiddo who will be turning TEN YEARS OLD. I guess parenting is the longest job I've had now. Now when school starts again in the fall, I envision myself writing and sewing and connecting to my community in different ways but in reality I have always struggled to impose structure on myself. I probably need to do "systems for artists" but part of me feels not ready / not like an artist? And also wanting to just live through the summer with my baby first.
I meant to comment on a previous post that I have been using my Brick tool to help with looking-at-phoneness and it is...mostly effective! One thing that has been really effective is that my partner bought us an electric piano for our home last month, which none of us knew how to play previously. So I've been learning to play the piano and also practicing paper piecing quilt making.
I always love reading your letters, Cody, thank you! <3
