This week I made a big decision to stop working on a project that's been in progress for months so I could begin writing a book I've been wanting to create for 5+ years. Of course making this decision wasn't easy and I've been working through all the normal issues of feeling like a quitter, regretting the time spent on that project, and more. I hope this episode helps you think about your projects differently and to stop putting the quilts, paintings, or books off for "one day." Make that day TODAY and commit to creating the things your heart most needs to create.
