Day 100/100 #the100dayproject

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.
