So I talked it over with the king, and we've decided that there's something to be learnt from recent events. One tiny little lesson before I give you what you came for, our book recommendations for savvy artist's life and business. I read a lot so I have a lot to say in just a moment but before we get there. It doesn't feel right to overload my awesome readers with content after such a heavy post like the last post. C lick here if you didn't see it. So instead of that, we have decided to put out today's post celebrating world book day, then leave posting for a while to give time and space and respect to our loved ones currently grieving. Hope that's cool with you guys! Anyway, 's let's get on with it, shall we? I have decided to put this in 3 sections and there are roughly 12 books in all. Again I remind you pretty much all of these are affiliate links, this means that we may make a little tiny commission if you buy any of the books we suggest, but ...

There is a delicate balance as a blogger, between reading or watching things because it's research for our own blog, and watching and reading things just because we enjoy it.  I am convinced true life balance is a complete illusion. I have believed perfect work/life balance was a myth for many years  work-life/balance requires perfection, this is an  unrealistic goal to be chasing.  None of us is perfect so why chase perfection? With that in mind, the title of this post claims the content you are reading contains advice on how to juggle life as a blogger.  It does.  Trust me I am getting to that, but before I give you my tips for managing blogging and life, I first needed to set the scene just so I can give you what I think is the number one most valuable self-loving thing you can do for yourself as a blogger, and indeed a person. Don't put so much pressure on yourself,  take some time every day just for you.  You can't make your blog as awe...

Trigger Warning - Low mood, depression, pain, suicide, past hurts, written about with the intent of encouragement  Disclaimer - As always I still recommend seeking professional advice as to the first course of action if you are feeling low or depressed. All advice given is from experience only. Lambi Says - Don't let depression or anxiety beat you up you got th i s, fight to win! If you have read my last few posts you will know that as of late I have been suffering from depression.  Yet again Jet and his friends had me in a cage that was locked from the inside.  (Jet is the name I give to depression because when it shows up for me it is usually jet black) Sometimes life throws things at us that we really don't expect. When this happens we have to decide if we are going to retreat within ourselves or get out there and serve others.   It can be the hardest thing to push yourself to think of others when you're feeling really low, but it's the very thing we need to ...

Moving on and moving forward,  they are the same thing, right? Well actually no. Once you have chosen to see life as seasonal and started chasing fulfilment rather than happiness, the next step toward success is moving on from moving on. Let me explain. Moving on gives the impression you’ve buried the past and now you're going to build something new on its grave and pretend it never happened. Moving forward is acknowledging the past, for what it is , learning what you can, and then deciding that it doesn’t define you and your still going to move forward with your dreams and in life because nothing can hold you back. You won’t give anything permission to do so. Good on you! You can move on from things and still not be over it, but hiding from your feelings is not going to help you . If you bury half-open wounds then poison will fester beneath your scars. You gotta make sure that you’re not running from your yourself. Trust me it’s exhausting and only leads to making laps around th...

Disclaimer :Since it's the age of triggered, I will give you 3 potential triggers for this post, but if you trigger easy you likely don't wanna read this so see you tomorrow if you come back.  Potential Triggers: Sucide/Depression /Real Talk Right guys, let me straight today I don't feel like writing....I don't wanna be a real downer especially now the sun is finally starting to show up around here but I just got a word that a  friend of mine has committed suicide. At this point, I've just about had enough of getting messages like this, because I've had more in my young life than I care to admit. To be authentic today, I can't in good consciences  (yeah big word and what? I'm so not in the mood to edit myself right now) put up the happy post I was going to do so instead. I'm fighting back! Depression that is. I am fighting depression back because it sucks, and while it may be a part of the whole grieving thing. it's also had way too much of my li...
