I’m very fortunate that my work allows me to have the flexibility to do most things I want to do. And even though, strictly speaking, I don’t have to work, I choose to because I know if I didn’t, all my ideas and creativity would dry up and I would fester and stagnate which wouldn’t really be like living at all. Although I think if I truly didn’t need or want to work at all, I would spend all day in bookshops and libraries, learning cool stuff about all sorts of things and buying books that I could read at home in the garden or from a cosy sofa at home. A bit like the copy of ‘Shy’ that was peeking out at me on a shelf at Home Sense today!
I don’t *have to* work financially, but I have to, for my mental health and wellbeing, which also means for the wellbeing of the family.
The tricky part for me is the opposite: we HE our youngest, and it’s finding time to actually work properly, which usually happens when everyone is asleep and I can relax I’m not “on call” anymore.
I do try to go out, but when I have to design a website or edit video, I need my giant screens and can’t take those with me at the café 🫠
Thinking about it, actually, our issue is the cottage; so small for us now, but I really don’t want to move again 🩷 Because when we are away and rent a larger house, we are all so much happier… hmm..
Anyway, your little ones are very lucky to have you 🥰
I got very excited and said to my friend ‘I’ve just done this ladies course and we have messaged’!

I would write, but write what I want to write, not what I need to for income!
