Redefining Yourself; How Can You When You Don't Know What You Are To Begin With? How Should I Know, Why Are You Asking Me?

I keep hearing about women redefining themselves at my age.  What the &%$*#!!! Does that mean anyway?  I am still looking for the first definition.  Anyone with me, anyone?  Ballerina didn’t' work out too well; or famous singer (thanks a lot America's Got Talent) nor two time boutique owner.  Never fear, super bridal gown designer to the rescue?  How can one possibly define one's self when there are so many wonderful shiny new possibilities dangling right before one's eyes?  As my ever devoted husband would say, "Ooh, look over there Kimmy, something shiny!"  I get it, I am easily distracted.  Can I help it if you can't define brilliance? (Choke!)

The important entity I am trying to define or redefine here at this particular moment, however, is not myself but the chaotic space I work in.  I keep calling it my office but my entire family scoffs at the word whenever it leaves my lips; so here I am reaching out to the blogiverse asking, no begging, for your help; so if you are out there...

This space where I set my derrière,' stand, pace etc. and do any number of things which include:  painting, jewelry making, getting my graduate gemology degree, designing wedding gowns, thinking about new home decor ideas, thinking about new boutique ideas, blogging, reorganizing, un-organizing, rearranging, un-arranging, taking down, putting up, draping fabric, cutting fabric, painting some more, making more jewelry studying some more, staring for hours due to exhaustion, staring for hours thinking, staring some more; but exclude:  filing or any sort of office work what so ever.

I hope I have made my dilemma perfectly clear and have conveyed my desperate need of your help.  Studio Just sounds so Stuffy.  Please please please think of something to call it other than office.  A made up name is perfectly fine; any suggestions?

...And since you asked.  If anyone does happen to read this very important entry, I really do know what the most important definition of me is; wife, mother and last but not least gammie; anything else is just icing on a very sweet cake.  ....So if you want my advice, and I am sure you do not, have no worries about defining or redefining, just enjoy life.
 

Until next time...
