If you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life. At the same time, doing what you love and maintaining that love takes vulnerability and consistency. In this world they’ll make you think that doing what you love is too expensive and loving what you do is childish. There was manyContinue reading “For Us”

Monster Creation
I’m here for you. In Frankenstein, we learn that a creation left unattended can turn into a monster. He wanders around looking for a sense of belonging. Looking for purpose, love, community. All these things could have been provided by Frankenstein but he was too ashamed of his work to invest in it. To ashamedContinue reading “Monster Creation”
Change Comes
There is nothing permanent except change. Heraclitus I don’t like change especially when things are going good (enough). At the same time, I believe there’s a world out there that provides more than enough. I say that as someone who is not deeply rewarded by the dollar but rewarded by growth and accomplishment. By gainingContinue reading “Change Comes”
Climate Change and Our Temperament
Sunday Reflections Imagine a world where our climate is controlled by our temperament. Our happiness would warm the world up and our mourning would make the temperatures more frigid. What temp would anger bring? It’s interesting. It reminds me of Persephone and her mother, Demeter. It’s an interesting myth that explains the seasons. When PersephoneContinue reading “Climate Change and Our Temperament”
Daily Habits
What daily habits are you doing for yourself? I’ve stepped away from social media before bedtime and first thing when I wake up. I used to allow myself to use my phone to let go of my day and settle down. I don’t feel like it harmed me but I do feel like my timeContinue reading “Daily Habits”
Comfort
Art Should Comfort the Disturbed and Disturb the Comfortable Cesar A. Cruz I appreciate this quote as a writer and creative because I want my writing to comfort those who need it. I’d love it if everyone liked my novel but what’s most important to me is that someone feels less alone after reading it.
And Play
The one thing that you have that nobody else has is you. Your voice, your mind, your story, your vision. So write and draw and build and play and dance and live as only you can. Neil Gaiman All work and no play is no fun! I truly got to appreciate a moment of playContinue reading “And Play”
Keep Going
As long as you keep going, you’ll keep getting better. And as you get better, you gain more confidence. That alone is success. Tamara Taylor This is meant to be encouragement to keep going. It’s ok to be new at things. It’s ok to work on getting better by making mistakes. Let yourself get better.Continue reading “Keep Going”
Rocket Ship
If you’re offered a seat on a rocket ship, don’t ask what seat! Just get on. Sheryl Sandberg I’m inspired by this quote today. I haven’t been asked to take any rocket ship rides lately (or ever). Tomorrow, it could happen and reading this quotes has just expanded my world from impossible I’ll never rideContinue reading “Rocket Ship”
Act of Kindness
A tiny ripple of hope. These words remind me of The Butterfly Effect. To summarize, The Butterfly Effect is when something as small as a butterfly flapping it’s wings can create something as mighty as a tornado weeks later. I share that to say this, a tiny ripple is enough. Your small acts of kindnessContinue reading “Act of Kindness”
