My answer, as a teacher, to so many questions parents ask about how they should react to the various situations their preteen child is in - trust your gut. My advice to friends in just about any situation is the same and many times I have done things that, even in the moment, I acknowledged to myself I ‘normally’ would have done something different but for some reason I made an unusual (for me) decision because I trusted my gut. And never have I regretted these decisions. And maybe we all need to know ourselves better (Mathematician plus more Thales said over 2000yrs ago ‘Know Thyself’) and trust that self.
Thanks for promoting my thinking and reminding me that the ‘trust your gut’ motto is so powerful.
Amanda, thank you for this insightful comment! Everything you shared here resonates with me so much, but most of all, I love the idea that the better we know ourselves, the more we're able to listen to our instincts and trust our gut. That's such a powerful thought, and I'll definitely be thinking over that in the days to come 🤍
As always, thank you so much for your kind words, my friend! And I love that little hints of color popped out for you here -- that feels like a perfect follow-up to your post on color a little while ago ;)
Yes! I couldn't agree more with you, Helen, and I think that's what I was trying to work my way towards to here -- the idea of trusting our gut even when it's hard to put into words why, and at times when we otherwise might normally question ourselves. Thanks so much for sharing that 🤍

As beautiful as always. And "always" means "VERY BEAUTIFUL WORK".
But - is it fully greyscale? It may be a trick of the eye, but I can almost see some pale greens and blues in there. Fully monochrome?

I love this idea. I often trust my gut but I especially like the times that I trust it without questioning myself.

Yes because it’s a feeling rather than words.
That's how I try to live in all areas of my life.
I love hearing that, Medha 🤍
