100 Days of Notes and Knowing
I didn’t start this project with a big, loud reason. I just knew I needed something consistent. Something colorful. Something that could tether me back to myself when the day got wild — and it often did.
Each day, I picked a quote that hit me where I needed it.
Sometimes it was gentle.
Sometimes it was fire.
Sometimes it was a challenge.
But always — it was a reflection. Of what I was learning, unlearning, remembering.
Over 100 days, I became my own best encouragement.
And now I have a whole gallery of proof that progress isn’t flashy — it’s faithful.
It’s showing up even when the piece doesn’t feel perfect.
It’s listening to the pull to make something anyway.
And this last piece? Mandela’s words?
It’s the message I want to carry into whatever comes next:
Choose from hope.
Not fear.
Because when we do that? Our art, our life, our legacy gets louder, brighter, and truer.
