In all forms of work, it is good to get away. We spent the weekend in Ruidoso, NM in a cabin with *gasp* no WiFi!
It was a good thing. I haven’t gone completely unplugged for an entire weekend in a very long time.
Refreshing.
Now, it’s time to get my To-Do list in order and really start pounding away on it.
Some of the things on my To-Do list include:
- New portfolio website
- Meet more local bloggers
- Meet more local artists
- Get new hard drive
- Move all images to new hard drive and archive and tag said images (not looking forward to this, but it needs to be done)
- Get some prints ordered
I’m sure there’s more, but I have to prioritize what is necessary and what can wait. That’s actually the hardest part of a To-Do list; the prioritization.
Also considering taking on a couple of freelance writing assignments. I’m really enjoying writing so much more than I thought I would. I think it’s a natural progression of being a serious blogger.
Friday I had the great pleasure of meeting up with up with Heather from h’art works in my ongoing effort of meeting local bloggers and artists.
We had lunch at Rosa’s Cafe in Midland, TX and talked lot’s about blogging, art, and other interesting happenings around the Internet. She is such a sweet and profound person as well as a very talented artist. I really enjoyed getting to meet her and chat about art happenings in the West Texas area especially because she is in Odessa and I actually don’t visit that town very often. That will have to change.
I’m really enjoying getting to know more of the West Texas bloggers and am contemplating putting together a once monthly meetup group after the holidays. As some bloggers reside in Midland while others are in Odessa I feel it would be beneficial to alternate meetup spots between the two cities.
In the meantime, I will continue to reach out individually to West Texas bloggers and try to find the time to get together for lunch, coffee, or drinks.
It’s good to get away from the computers every once and a while and get that human connection in real life situations.
