Congrats Kim…when I was reading the part of your post about saying about finding your life's work…and once you had…everything changed….I totally know what you are talking about! I've been through it more than once! Thanks so much for sharing your experiences!

Thank you. I heard your segment on Cast On, and you and Brenda together shoe-horned me out of the deep, deep rut I've been in. I can see possibility in my creative life again, and it's invigorating!

Just listened to you on Cast-On. Please be advised that being a learning junkie is not limited to you creative folk. I have never been able to stick to a job longer than 3 years–usually less. Once I know the work in and out, I'm bored and ready to move on. Thanks for providing a more favorable context for this than “has a short attention span”.
Best of luck to you in your next creative life/lives.

(forgive me for this purely spiritual comment to those who might take offense – skip this) Kim, your comment about being bored and wanting to continuously know more reminds me of a story about how different Christians are in following Christ….there are some that camp out at the bottom of the mountain (life) they are climbing with Jesus (have learned all they want to about Jesus and/or God's Word and are satisfied to settle with that knowledge), while others want to learn a little more and go up higher, maybe halfway. But then some settle there, and not wanting to learn more, are happy with the little bit of knowledge they've gained and won't go any further. Yet others, not satisfied and knowing there is more to learn with Him, continue on the journey upwards. Many follow Him, but few go all the way with Him ('cause it's not easy to walk that journey up a mountain, i.e. life). Regardless of your spiritual persuasions, I totally understand your desire to be in a state where you continue to learn (about whatever!) and how you've become bored and unstimilated by your love of crochet. You are one of those people who will go far up that mountain of life. All I can say is “Rock on!” in your endeavor to learn more and keep your creative juices flowing in whatever direction you go. :)

Congratulations Kim for knowing what you want, and reaching for it.

Take some time, relax, drink, and then let us all know what your up to.

Boy, can I relate to what you're saying here, on every level.
