"All of it belongs." I loved the theme of this newsletter and resonated with it for sure. Ive let perfection reign as the goal in too many things, and it's held me back more than anything else. Great thoughts and great resources!
Thanks, Laura! Perfection is such an elusive (actually imposible) goal, it ends up doing more harm than good. Hope you can embrace good enough in this season!
Aly- I’m struck by how as you welcome all the parts of yourself, your art flourishes… so many good nuggets in this piece. I’m reminded of how Julia Cameron writes/prays “Okay, God. You take care of the quality. I will take care of the quantity.” I’m inspired by how you seem to be living this out, friend! 💛👏 thank you for showing up, doing the work, and congrats on so many incredible accomplishments!
Thank you, Kristina! I love that quote and I have tried to embrace it! I still feel uneasy sometimes just putting everything out there, but then I remind myself the quality is none of my business 😂
