The world reflects back to you how much you value yourself.

Gratitude is like love or fresh air - you can't get too much of it.

If you trusted that your art was going to support your life, how would you live?

Determination can be a battle or a thrill. Choose to be thrilled.

I can't help you. Not really. I can only show up with a bright heart and hope that I get you at the right micro-moment with the perfect dose of light that helps you see what you already know.

Self-criticism is not "love," and it is certainly not indifferent. It's a form of hatred. And when I name that, when I see it for what it is (raw and uncomfortable and saddening), when I refuse to sugar-coat self criticism, judgment, agitation, and constantly trying to improve myself, then I'm one quantum leap closer to freedom.

Don't let perfection become procrastination . Do it now.
