Today, just as I was getting ready to leave The Point, the man who bought ten of my calendars last week pulled in and waved me down. He told me he’d already started giving them out, and the people who received them were carried away with them — that they truly loved them. Then he looked me straight in the eye and said my work was good.
I don’t think he’ll ever know how much I needed to hear that. There’s something different about hearing it from someone who doesn’t know me, who doesn’t owe me anything, who’s seeing my work for the very first time. It felt honest, unexpected, and real — a kind of validation that sank deeper than I expected.
For just a moment, it felt like the world tapped me on the shoulder and said,
“See? You’re doing something that matters.”
Driving home, I felt lighter… almost proud of myself. It’s been a long time since I felt that way. Maybe I am turning a corner. Maybe I am going to make it after all.
