Time to reconsider how we look at work. Holley's deep dive into this area highly resonates to that of my own path and questions I pose around what it means to feel fulfilled and authentic in the work that we do. She has come to know work as: "A lifelong devotion, to deliberation and transcendence of myself, my family and community, and society at large. What that contribution looks like shifts over time, and the action or inaction within that contribution can be grand gestures or small simple deeds - that's the beauty of it." She describes her current work resembling a manifesto: To honor self-acceptance as the antidote to the allure of external validation. To cherish and express my uninhibited creative expression and honour my weirdness, whether it makes me money or not. To share the unfolding of my story, the triumphs, the falls, the lifts, the climbs in artful, honest ways that challenge people to not turn away from themselves.

there’s something soothing about being proud of the achievements of an older version of yourself, even if that version is no longer aligned with who you are today. 

Good old Ricky Rubin

sometimes u just gotta jump and hope there’s parachute attached 

fascinated by the process of change that takes place when you do something that seems impossible 

you don’t really know if it works until you’re on the other side
