If I can sum up this year…I’d say it’s been a huge life change. 10 months after Kingston arrived in my life it’s been amazingly rewarding and yet amazingly frustrating at the same time.<\/p>\n
The amazing parts are obvious. If you don’t have a child in your life yet (wait don’t rush into it!), it’s hard to explain, but even the SMELL of your child is invigorating. No, we’re not talking about the stuff that comes out of the bottom end. But the smell of his hair, his face, even his baby breath is something I love.<\/p>\n
I’m sure they’ll come a day when he’ll wake up with hauna<\/em> (Hawaiian for stink) breath someday. But for now I’m enjoying what I can. When Kingston laughs, my whole world laughs with him.<\/p>\n The frustrating part of this year comes as an indirect result of such major life changes. I’ve faltered a bit in my business and it’s been personally very stressful and debilitating. My business is a bit like my first child…a big part of my pride and personality is thrown into Lowe Studio, and now it’s like I forgot about my first child because all my attention is on Kingston.<\/p>\n The last thing I want is for my clients, new and old, to think, “Oh, I can’t go to Lowe Studio anymore because he’s distracted with his kid”.<\/em> I think there’s been a little of that going on I’m sad to say and I’m sure it may have affected a client here and there.<\/p>\n
