Show your work, and when the right people show up, pay close attention to them, because they'll have a lot to show you.

The only way to find your voice is to use it. It’s hardwired, built into you. Talk about the things you love. Your voice will follow.

Meditation is not evasion

You have to lean into the turn. On every creative aspect, you have to lean into what's working.

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Thee.

Staring down hard truth takes guts.

Make a little room in your plans for romance again, Anne, girl. All the degrees and scholarships in the world can’t make up for the lack of it. ~Aunt Josephine to Anne in Anne Of Green Gables
