This brings me to (joyful) tears
A Morning of Reflection and Inspiration
One of my most luxurious guilty pleasures is waking up late on a weekend, staying in bed, and immersing myself in music videos of artists performing their craft. It’s a ritual that feeds my soul and reminds me of the power of creativity and devotion.
This weekend, I found myself watching the 2024 VMA performance of Tracy Chapman singing her legendary song, "Fast Car." Decades after stepping out of the music spotlight, she returned with an authenticity and zen energy that brought me to tears.
The Power of Art and Devotion
There’s something magical about witnessing someone in their element, doing what flows naturally from their soul. It’s a testament to years of hard work, rejection, and resilience. Watching Tracy Chapman reminded me how blessed we are to have art and people who dedicate their lives to creating it.
I believe we are all artists, especially as entrepreneurs. At the core of what we do is the act of creation—fearlessly persisting day in and day out, even when challenges arise.
The Importance of a Creative Community
My artist friends in New York bring depth, texture, and contemplation to my life. They inspire me to embrace my own creativity and to see the beauty in expressing what flows naturally. Their presence reminds me that the world needs diverse voices and unique stories.
Step Into Your Bravery and Share Your Gift
No matter where you are or what you’re working on, know this:
❤️ There is space for your creation.
❤️ There is value in your gift.
❤️ There is beauty in the pain.
❤️ Everything is happening for a reason.
This is your sign to keep going. The world needs to hear your story, told the way only you can.
Why I Believe Our Work Is Sacred
Pitching your mission and small business to the world is an act of courage. It’s about being seen, judged, and devoted to a mission that matters. PR isn’t just about press logos or selling more products—it’s about the audacity to share your story with the world and create meaningful impact.
When we embrace this mindset, pitching becomes art in its finest form. It’s a gift to the world and a testament to the beauty of courage and resilience.
Thanks
