I look forward to this every week and so far have been amazed and astounded at how bang on you are. I too have been wringing my hands about trying to be a good artist making beautiful things with deep meaning blah blah blah...I can't! I won't! Let's have some fun - seems like a rebellious act and that's all the better.
Thank you for being you! I wanna flip those 'supposed to go' rules around.
1. Find resilience and joy.
2. Love what you're doing. And if you don't love it, change something that needs to be changed.
3. Don't stress about it.
4. March to your own drummer and beat.
5. Be exactly who and how you are, in all your glorious imperfection.
6. Don't stress about it.
7. Don't stress about it.
