The very one thing I think is important for the world is when you said: "(...) I do impress myself at times with how things fall into place. I can’t really take credit, I just seem to allow things to happen."
I knew it was the way the universe works but it took me a beer long time to shut the door to:
- Explanations;
- Justifications;
- Reassuring people around me;
- Other ways of living my life than by this principle.
Everything I want will be given to me.
It's always been given to me haha!
By the way, I love your story and how you dive into being an artist 🤩
'I don’t often blow my own trumpet (my default, sadly, has been thinking that I’m useless), but I do impress myself at times with how things fall into place.'
I coach runners/triathletes (trust me this is related) and I talk to them a lot about 2 things.
1. There's always a chasm and you'll have to jump (set big goals/take risks)
2. There is beauty in the power of permission. The permission to do, to become, to make it across the jump.
Great work
Wonderful, thanks for sharing and thanks for reading my post!
This is so awesome! I love the advice you offer here and the mural is spectacular. Thank you so much for sharing.
It's always a pleasure to see you in the comments. Thank you so much! I look forward to many more mural opportunites in the future!

Thank you for highlighting this point, it’s so true, yet I forget it so often!
Appreciate the kind words, they’ll be some very deep diving occurring in 2025 and beyond!
Don't know how I missed this post! Thank you for including it in your August retrospective. We talked a lot about this whole amazing arc of awesomeness (pun intended) in our interview but there are bits I missed and the whole arc, told together as you have done here, is utterly inspiring and beautiful. https://open.substack.com/pub/slart/p/11-where-is-the-edge-of-art-with?r=brsy&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
Thank you thank you thank you! I keep raving about our chat!
Incredible story. Awesome.
