There’s been a lot of talk about “portfolio work<\/a>” in recent years. Meaning that more and more people don’t hold on to a steady job, or have one singular carrer path, but instead have multiple work and revenue streams that they connect to make their livelyhood.<\/p>\n

The term portfolio <\/a>however, implies for me a certain thought-out-ness, a sense of willful diversification and planned broadening of singular points-of-focus.<\/p>\n

In my life, at the moment, I pursue various projects,\u00a0 don’t really count, but I estimate there are 6-8 active projects, and another 4-5 in the pipeline.<\/p>\n

Some of these projects interrelate and create synergy, others are completely seperate and just for the sake of it.<\/p>\n

I like it that way! I’m not in the game to be the best, richest, most succesful anything. I’m in it for the full width and depth of experiences available.<\/p>\n

So I found an analogy that suits my lifestyle, and those of people similar to me, better than portfolio work: tapestry work.<\/p>\n

My threads are my projects, my jobs, my family, my lovers, my children, my prayers, my hopes, my fears, my practice. They interweave and crisscross and form something unique and dazzling: my life!<\/p>\n

And what a beautiful tapestry it is!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
