Ashley, I love the intentionality of setting aside time for projects that are just for you. Even if it doesn’t always happen! And all the praise hands to reading as a non-negotiable. I feel the same way. When people ask me how I make time for reading I don’t know how to answer because it’s not something I have to consciously make time for. I just do. Really loved reading about your creative work!
I think you can officially consider making time for reading a strength of yours! That sounds sort of silly, but I think anything that comes naturally to us and we can't really explain why we do it is a strength. Or maybe your strength is doing what feels good. It seems like that should be so simple, but so many of us struggle with it!
Thank you so much for your lovely words! It’s definitely a juggle as there are always people/tasks/life admin responsibilities that demand our time as mothers, but I find by compartmentalising my week it prevents me from drawing on these as excuses quite so much... x
