Wisdom from Mrs. Smith.
Happening The Creative Independent The holidays can be a beautiful time, but they can also be overwhelming. So we thought we’d leave you with a piece of advice from philanthropist, tone poet, and unlikely guitar hero Mrs. Smith, courtesy of The Creative Independent, a Kickstarter-published resource for creative people. It’s relevant year-round, but feels especially significant right now.
“Take care of your art as well as your heart. Shelter yourself from the noise of the world when you can… Participate in the world, act responsibly when you must, and know when to tune out, take shelter, and just focus on your thing.”
Happy holidays, and take care of yourselves. 💌 |
