What a wonderful collection of Notes. I feel like I just had a refreshing and enjoyable walk around a Gallery. I love how you posted them here, I missed so many of them on my feed.

Thank you so much for reading and taking the time to comment, Jerry. I will start a new series soon and ask other artists to share their notes to self. It's great to see how this resonated with so many people, and I want to build on this.

This brilliant and uplifting, I want to print all those and put them on a wall as a reminder to myself. So many of those doubts are the reason why it took me so long to start. But you just have to live and do the art that makes you happy and speaks to your soul.

It is a bit weird! Many of my subscribers don't seem to see my notes. Anyway, have a good start to the week, Monique. Thank you 🖤

Oh this is such a beautiful round up! I did a similar series on IG a few months ago called “take what you need.” Now I’m feeling inspired to bring it to substack haha!

Really enjoyed reading these, they made me feel super seen 🧡

I found these so good to read…what you say in the Note…how you set them out on the Note…that I’ve subscribed. And now, I’m looking to reading more.

As someone who is both a visual artist and writer, I really appreciate all of these. They also coincide with my personal biggest philosophy “if you make art, you’re an artist”

I have been on and off this app over the past few months and didn’t put together these notes were a part of a greater series. Loved seeing them all rounded up here!

Thank you, Lauren. They were not planned to be a series, but these things keep coming up in my morning pages, so I started sharing them on notes. And because they resonated so well with people, I included them in a post. I will keep adding to this post. I kind of like the idea of a "live" evolving post. I now pinned it on my page. Have a great weekend 🖤

I love that these are coming from your morning pages! I think a living post will be cool. Excited to see more of them as they come to you.
