Dear Me...

You need to change things up now.  How long are you going to sit around wishing your poems would get published in a journal or as a book?  It's not going to happen if you're not sending it off someplace, be it by snail mail or electronic.  So start getting some manuscripts ready and send them off.  Pronto.  I give you a week to prepare and a week to mail.  Most of the deadlines you saw last night are end of this month and end of February.  So get to it, girl.

Also, you've been thinking about downsizing all the crap you own.  Stop thinking about it and do it.  Go through each room once a week and toss out that junk.  Goodwill will appreciate.  Besides, if you're still thinking at the end of February that you'll be moving into a smaller home, you will have less to move.  Less is good.

You need to schedule your hobbies. Prioritize.  Writing is number 1. Photography is number 2.  Video is number 3. Crafting is number 4.   This is how these things are tiered in importance to you.  You're giving more time to some projects than what you'd like because you're distracting yourself away from what really gives you pleasure.  Writing is priority number one. Do you need to wake up in the morning earlier to get some of this writing bug done?  Do it.

Get your accounts in order.

Calendar.  It is a good thing. Use it.

Get yourself into a gallery this year for your crafty art-stuff. Make some videos to accompany, maybe.  Storyboard your video and fabric art projects and do them.  Won't know what they might be like until you do them.

Get energy.  Somehow.  Gym?  Lake walking?  Be healthy about it.

Get a check-up. Find out about thyroid tests, etc, and see if that's a concern. Lose weight eventually. 

Like your shape as it is for now.  Accept.  Maintain.  Smile.

Sincerely,
You
