Hi Maria,

Change can be so difficult, it feels so right until it happens and we don’t think we will need to adjust but it is amazing how emotional it can be. I had my own restaurant for 8 yrs. and was so exhausted I couldn’t wait to move on to the next part of my life, when we finally did sell it. I felt lost for 6 months at least you are not changing the thing you do and love merely the location.

How about a heated pad for Freida to lay on in the new studio?:)

Oh Maria, What a touching post. I know exactly how you were feeling. It wasn’t ridiculous and shouldn’t be minimized. That is a left over from our stolen pasts. Tears were very appropriate and will actually help you to move on. You will always love your studio barn at Bedlam. As it should be.

Thanks for sharing Maria. Not such a surprise to me to learn of your angst about the Studio Barn….retiring from my job of 24 yrs., though it was something I really wanted to do, brought similar angst. Was who I was and the work that I did, and could do, inextricably bound to the place? Thankfully I learned otherwise…as you are in the process of doing yourself. Keep on picturing…that in itself is the creative process brewing…..

Maria, I loved the blog you wrote today about your old Studio Barn and I found it very emotional and touching. I really could relate to all of your feelings about leaving it…why I did I have no idea…perhaps its because you painted such a vivid picture in my mind of the whole scenario and I was touched by the emotion and honesty of it.

Thanks for being you and for letting us into your life.

I think you should give the new studio a name it might help to go forward. It is always hard to leave a place that you have been happy in and love.

Your work is within you – and wherever you are it will still be there. You are adapting and changing all the time – it will just be one more element to your creativity:-)

I think your studio is coming along nicely. I hope you post some pictures when it’s finished. And, I’m sure you’ll feel at home there in no time!
