BLAHG

I have questions

As I delve deeper into my Baby Buddha Studio world, I am facing questions every moment.

How do I do it. What is it that I want to do? Do I want to do this? Do I want to do that? Where do I find it? How much is it? How does it look? How do I want it to look? What can I eat? Will anyone besides me like something?

It makes me quite hungry sometimes. I research. I research again. I practice. I mock up. I purchase. I make. I paint. I think. I’m allowing myself total creative immersion and sometimes I get overwhelmed. It can get uncomfortable. It can be brain numbing. It can be glorious.

I’m stretching and yet reigning it in to organize and make sure I can get somewhere with all of my creative endeavors. I’m rambling about the creative back-of-house and inside my brain stuff and what does this have to do with the reader? Is this BLAHG just therapy? Well. It is a way for me to get down my thoughts and maybe drive the color wheel to a happy color. But maybe it is helping the reader, you, to know that if you’re doing new things that there are always a lot of questions going on and it’s ok to not know the answers. That is the fun of it. The quest. The experiments. The flops!

I guess what I’m trying to say is there are some growing pains going on. In this uncertain world there are no rules except those from government agencies. But with our creative lives there are no rules. There is no template. Speaking of template, I have and do observe people and how they do things. I look at their path and how they maneuver it. I study websites and storefronts. I like to see how people do things. I then craft my own template of how I want to create my, for a better word, brand. I like to think of a brand as just a feeling. A feeling, an essence of what you’re all about. The crafting of your world and how the rest of the world sees it. A bit of theater, but it’s real. When people ask me how I am, I truly say, “I’m living the dream”. I’m allowing myself to live the dream. My dream.

I know this is alarming to get 2 Blahgs from me in one week but I’m thinking that it’s ok. I’m not going to guarantee that I will not annoy you but I will try to send content as it comes up. The schedule for the Blahg is at least once a month…but you know how it goes, on fire one day, a wet blanket the next.

Yours in Wonder, Imagination, + Kindness.

Toni aka Baby Buddha
