I get that feeling at the end of the season, feeling very burnt out
and almost hating henna. I think the commodification of henna
(through fairs and appointments and parties) starts to annoy me,
though on my good days, which are a majority, I feel really
blessed to be able to do this thing I love AND get paid for it. Also
on good days I am tickled pink that people are impressed with
henna; if they only knew that it's not as hard as it looks they might
be upset with me for charging $$ for it!

I had two gigs last Saturday and that was kind of the last hurrah
for the season, and I am feeling really happy and free to not be
doing 2-3 gigs a week. I am still hennaing myself and drawing
and researching, but I am not ruled by clients, which is a nice
break. I need this break over the winter to recoup my energies
for the summer.

What do you all in Florida and elsewhere do without a built-in
temperature-determined break in your season?
