my life of luxury


Some are of the opinion that I live a life of luxury because I am a full-time mother and an artist...

It is true, I do not have a 9 to 5 job Monday through Friday in an office setting with a boss and coworkers.

My "job" is 24 hours a day, every single day of the year: no paid vacations, no holidays, no sick days, no end-of-year bonuses.

I do not have a cleaning service, a nanny or even a regular babysitter.

I practice my daily yoga and meditation from home and not a gym, spa or retreat center.

I do not dine out in fancy, overpriced restaurants or take spontaneous trips around the globe.

I have the privilege of home schooling my young son.

Some are of the opinion that I do not work because I am a full-time mother and an artist...

excerpt from my journals

"Real luxury is having the time to read endless stories in bed with my children. And I get that all the time. I'm so blessed."
