At the moment, I am a freelance marketing consultant. At least that is what I’m calling myself (as well as a writer, of course). This title has, just in the past few weeks, had me doing everything from painting house numbers on pumpkins for Kentucky House and Home EXP Realty to designing a website and running social media accounts for Thornhill Creations. Back in May, right after I graduated from college, if you would have told me this is where I would be now, I wouldn’t have believed you. I would have spouted something about needing a steady, reliable income. I would have said I needed more structure. In complete honesty, I sometimes still think those things. Up until about a month ago, I held onto an $8/hour job that continuously made me sick (thanks, new-found peanut allergy…) because it was a reliable, albeit small, every-other-week paycheck.
While I still worry about money, I have realized that I am here, in this position, for a reason. I don’t know the entirety of God’s plan in this (who ever does?), but I have learned one thing: I forgot how much I loved design.
For years, art was my stress relief. Drawing and painting were an outlet when I couldn’t find words to write. Images and colors have always been my inspiration, both for life and for my writing. In the midst of life, I had nearly forgotten all art had done for me — how much holding a paintbrush had inspired me.
All that to say, art has once again become a part of my life in ways it hasn’t before and I can’t wait to see how this ties into my writing and into this site. I am growing — as a writer, as a person, as an artist — and there is so much in store. Let’s see where God takes this endeavor next.
