Wow, it has been a minute ( more like 300,376 minutes ). Let’s start with what’s coming…
I am working on some ideas for how rejuvenate the channel. Although I’m no longer working as a graphic designer I still work with the same tools, still design tings for my other business and have more to share. Stay tuned…
Now for where have I been…? Well the break started at Christmas of 2020 which was only meant to be a few weeks off which turned into a couple months and then COVID hit the world. This took the wind out of my sales, but it also never felt like a good time to post. Although my family wasn’t affected personally by COVID in those early days I just never really felt like uploading content was a good idea…
Fast forward to November 2021 and I started a new job at a company I LOVE working for. The learning curve was high and took a lot out of me, so finding the time and energy to put in to the channel was lost on trying to be the best I could be at my job… YouTube doesn’t pay my bills.
While I was no longer designing I still needed a creative outlet and ended up learning leather craft. I make cardholders, wallets, key fobs and more from leather, the company is called sleaves if you’d like to look it up. The image attached to this post is one of my latest pieces.
Finally for the last 4 years I’ve been tired, run down, and felt foggy most of the time. As I’m in my forties and don’t really have any close friends to check in with or relate to, I just thought this was part of getting old. After feeling that way for way too long and not able to see a doctor due to a local shortage of doctors and COVID I finally went to see a doctor. Turns out I have a non-alcohol form of Liver disease. I’m still waiting to see the extent of the damage and will be waiting anywhere from 3 months to a year to get in to see a specialist.
Sorry for the long post. Sorry for the long break. Sorry for the lack of communication. Thank you for still being here. Thank you for taking the time to read, if you’ve made it this far.
I hope to see you all sooner rather than later and appreciate all of your support on the channel!
