Isn't that book the best?? I feel like a copy should be given to everyone at birth lol! And those moments are so hard right? Pushing through them is magic BUT it's hard so I love that you get it. I've seen you make magic and I'm so grateful that time and again you keep bringing your magic out into the world!!

This is so beautiful! So many times we stop ourselves from creating or finishing because we are caught in the messy middle. This line should be plastered all of the world:

The moments in the middle of creating art - the messy middle that is often uncomfortable and where people wonder - should I just throw in the towel? - these are the moments that others rarely see that make it all worthwhile.

Doesn't matter what you're creating! Whether for work or pleasure, we should all learn to live in that messy middle, get frustrated or scream and yell but to keep pushing! So much beauty can come from that!

I came here to read a beautiful note from a beautiful friend and I was not disappointed! Keep writing, creating, inspiring friend! You are an amazing light for many people!!!

You are such a beautiful soul! Thank you - it's true right? In that super messy space, we discover things about ourselves. When we push through we find that we are so much more than we ever give ourselves credit for. You know I keep trying to find that age where we suddenly say, "I can't do it" or "I give up". Because little kids just go for it but somewhere along the way we come to think we can't or we want to just give up on ourselves and our imaginations. I love imagination so so much - seeing people push through and using their imagination to find a way? It's amazing, a gift. Thank you for being an amazing light with awesome imagination in my world!
