Hello my dear friends. I have been away for some time now. (6 months..ish..I think) 

I'll be honest. I had a rough couple of months and I chose to stay away from my personal media and channels of expression. I hopped back on here to see what has been going on in the world of Steemit I saw some warming comments on my post's. I've missed being here and sharing my adventures and creativity with you!

It's been brought to my attention that almost every obstacle in my life has been created by my own mind. Fears that don't actually exist. I seem to have allowed circumstances to penetrate my mind and attack the love I hold for myself. 

I put unnecessary pressure on myself to choose a passion and turn it into a profit. In the process of doing that I lost the enjoyment of doing the things I used to love the most. 

This is still something I am struggling with. Painting, photography, modeling, media, blogging, writing, music..the list goes on. There are so many things that I enjoy doing. But instead of doing those things and growing my skills I've been spending way too much time thinking. Trying to map my life and attract my goals has been keeping me from living my life. 

My question for you is; how did you find your calling? How do you separate work and art when you are using the same channell to make money and fulfill your creative needs? 

And while I'm here I wanted to share some imagery from my absence!

I was blessed with some opportunities to travel through Arizona, US. It is stunning and I hope that you all get opportunities to go and see new places.

Thank you for reading and looking at my images! Going back to my initial subject of this post. If you have​ experienced a similar transitional​ period in your life, found direction and have any wisdom, reading materials or whatever I would love your​ insight! Thank you! -TYA
