2025 Goals: Building a Creative Life I Love

If you have been reading this blog for a while, you have seen the multiple evolutions of this brand. It has been hard for me to focus on just one avenue of creativity because I truly enjoy making so many things!

There have been some people who told me I should just focus on one thing because then friends, clients, and customers would get overwhelmed and not know what I offer. My argument was, "Well, when they ask what I can do, I'd rather be able to offer them a few different options rather than just be a place where you can only get one thing." Why keep myself in a box?

Over the past few years, my interests have grown right along with me. I still love writing and photography, but I've grown to love painting more, modeling clay, digital art, and reading. I wanted LBC to be the place where I can share all of that.

There is one thing I'd like to address as well. I am well aware that I am asking for money for a lot of my things on here, but I never actually expect people to pay for anything I create. This is part of why I ask people to simply share my posts, because, to me, exposure is the best way to help me out.

I'm a teacher. I have an income (but remember, it's a teacher's income, lol), but I don't hate making money off my hobbies. That isn't why I create everything I create, though.

Every single thing I create is a form of therapy for me. It gets me out of my head for the time it takes to create whatever product I'm making. I can't necessarily tell you what emotions come out or if this is actually productive, but hey, I'm still here and I usually feel better, so I'm going to guess some part of it is working.

What this whole long rant was supposed to be about is that, for 2025, I'm actually taking time to prep myself for success with LBC. We are going to have weekly schedules, recurring themes, and hopefully more audience interaction! I love getting readers involved.

The topics I know we are going to cover for sure are photography, Taylor Swift, reading, video games, wedding planning, parenting, mental health, and more! Every Monday (Wednesday this week), I am going to feature some kindness and positivity to help start your week off on the right foot!

Posts will be every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at Noon ET right here on LBC!

I want to show people that it's possible to be a busy mama but that it's also possible to make time for yourself and do the things that make you happy and take you out of your mind for a little bit.

Thank you for your continued patience and flexibility with us as we find our way to where we want to be. Trying to find the balance between loving this and keeping it consistent has been hard, but I think I have finally found a formula that will work for me.

Here's to an amazing 2025, and I hope I can inspire you to get creating, even if it's just a little bit of something.
