This week was the Spring Equinox, when the balance between day and night is equal. I’ve been noticing where I can find balance in my own life. One of the things that has been coming into a lovely state of equilibrium is my balance between (left-brain) organizing and planning tasks and (right-brain) creativity and play. I’ve set up some helpful systems for staying organized and managing those types of tasks, which allows me to have time to be creative. It feels good!

One of those systems is the ROW 80 challenge, which I’ve decided to join. BlackLion helped me set up a new blog, which I’ll use for organizing and reporting on my writing projects, along with other musings and quotes related to the writing arts. If you’re a writer, or just curious, come on over and check out Starcat’s Writing Desk.

Have a beautiful week!
