I love all the parts of this layered abstract. Each and every part of it is telling my story, all the parts are part of the meaning. I kept going until it felt like it was right and that what I wanted to say in this piece was right.

It started with a line from one of Morgan Harper Nichols books.. she said ” YOU are worthy of the time it takes ….. to do ….” you fill in the blank. I made my list of things that I’ve struggled to say I’m worthy of.

And I’ll share it in the video, but I sooo want you to know how worthy you are.  So often I think we sabotage our success because way back in the back of our minds we think we’re not worthy of doing the thing, whatever that thing is. (At least that’s how it goes in my head so many times).

But you are worthy… perfectly imperfect, you don’t have to wait till you’ve “got it together”.  No one has it together, we’re all just doing the best we can.

I’ll share more about it in the video, I hope you enjoy the project! YOU are loved!
