It’s okay if you didn't get everything done today that you wanted to get done.

You matter because you exist, not because of your labor.

I invite you to release yourself from the criticism, the shame, the blame, and the judgement.

You don’t have to carry those things anymore, my love.

You are loved. You are loved. You are loved. The world is so much better because you exist. Never forget it. You matter. We need you.

my worth is not determined by my productivity. my labor is not a metric of my value as a human being.

i am brave enough to try.
there is no such thing as failure. failure is just information that can guide me closer to my most aligned path.

how my art is received is not my focus (or my business). my focus is on the process of divinely creating, consistently, continuously, keeping the connection between my heart and mind open to receive ideas from the universe and bring them to life. whether or not those ideas are understood is not up to me, therefore, i will not let hypotheticals hold me

there is no need to compare my creativity to the creativity of others, because the world is made better when all of our voices are equally heard. we are not in competition, we are in community.

your success is my success and my success is yours. we are each divine expressions of the same collective heart. envy is just an unmet need, a sacred part of our inner world longing to be cared for with compassion & attention.

my creativity connects me to all of my ancestors who came before me. my ancestors who labored and suffered through poverty in Puerto Rico, Slovakia, and Spain. my ancestors who struggled and who had big dreams, just like me, but were held down, kept back, or limited by circumstance.
