📝 A good question: In what ways are you stretching yourself outside of boundaries you'd prefer to hold up?
From Emily McGowan, Editorial Director
"If you're looking for a nontoxic, zero-VOC (and I mean truly zero-VOC) paint that doesn't compromise on color or quality, I highly recommend ECOS Paints. I loved their ingredient transparency and the peace of mind knowing my bedroom is coated in gorgeous, safe color. While painting did take a bit more time — especially with bold colors needing primer and two coats — the beautiful, odorless finish made it all worthwhile. ECOS Paints is my top choice for anyone who wants a healthier, more sustainable option for their home." [Read my review]
A reader comment we love:
"Echoing what so many commenters are mentioning, this message came at just the right time! I literally heard this week: "Stop asking for permission!" as I contemplated a few creative directions that have been drawing me lately — ones I've been delaying taking seriously because I'm honestly not jazzed about feeling like an amateur again with something new. But I love Ashley's advice here, especially the point about work equalling success. You're successful when you're putting in the energy, bit by bit, day by day. I think the hesitation I feel come up is that deep down, I constantly feel like I'm running out of time to put in that incremental, slow work — that there's not enough life left to fulfill this vague picture of success I have in my head. Writing it out makes me realize how silly of an idea that is. I'm quick to forget how lengthy and expansive life can be if I'm really paying attention. Talking to elderly folks helps me remember this. Even in our 70s, 80s, and 90s, there will still be that same, fresh permission to try something new, give something new, and engage a new facet of ourselves."
