I actually love paying people to do jobs I can’t do. Being able to support others to be able to use the skills they have feels good. BUT….i also have a toxic dose of DIY running through my veins. Frequently I have to talk myself off the ledge, reminding myself that supporting someone else to do a job 10 times more efficiently and with more skill than me is better, freeing my time up to do the things I am good at.

Occasionally though, the DIY makes sense. Occasionally I do have the tools, if not the skill, and though I may have to bumble through, it’s a bumbling worth doing.

I’m currently adding “food photographer” to my list of jobs. I don’t particularly care for this work. I much prefer telling stories through my photos. However, I’m saving a lot of money photographing my cookbook myself and I do like the fact that it makes it more personal.

Anyway, here’s to learning new skills, and for knowing when not to.
