Trippin’.

“All that happens to us, including our humiliations, our misfortunes, our embarrassments, all is given to us as raw material, as clay, so that we may shape our art.”

— Jorge Luis Borges

I saw this quote in a newsletter from Jenny Blake, a wonderfully inspirational woman I met at last year’s 20SB Summit. As I start this week — a bit late and already behind on some things that need to get done — I’m trying to remind myself that every misstep is just an excuse to leave the well-traveled road and find a better way back to where I’m supposed to be.

    Kurt Vonnegut also said “a step backwards after making a wrong turn, is a step in the right direction.”

    i’ve recently found your blog, and enjoy it. thanks for sharing.

      Fantastic, Molly — thanks for sharing that. LOVE Vonnegut; what a beautifully cranky old man.

      I’m so happy you are reading!
