TODAY’S DAILY INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE ~ Vincent van Gogh

November 14, 2022 | by

At the age of 16, in 1869, Vincent van Gogh left his home in the Netherlands to work with his uncle, an art dealer who was traveling between London and Paris. The work gave him access to some of the greatest artists of his time, but Van Gogh himself didn’t begin creating art until 1880, just 10 years before his death. In that time he created over 800 paintings and 700 drawings, establishing a unique style that would, posthumously, make him a household name. Though he only sold one piece of work in his life, he is widely considered one of the greatest painters of the 19th century.

TODAY’S DAILY INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE ~ Amy Schuler

| by

The day-to-day grind of just existing can feel like it takes up all our energy. When we get caught up in the minutiae of our busy schedules, we sometimes forget to stop and enjoy life, rather than just working our way through it. In her hilarious and deeply human memoir “The Girl With the Lower Back Tattoo,” comedian Amy Schumer urges us to make things easier on ourselves by seeking out the fun moments that are all around. Whether it means tossing aside the to-do list on a beautiful day, treating ourselves to that ice cream with a friend, or just allowing a minute to watch those TikToks that make us laugh, it is always worth the time it takes to do the things that make our lives happier.

TODAY’S DAILY INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE ~ Dr. Joyce Brothers

| by

We’re often told that love comes when we least expect it, but the truth is, love comes when we are completely open. As humans, we crave more than anything to be fully known and loved for who we are, but if we conceal the imperfect parts of ourselves or keep our guard up for fear of getting hurt, we can never be wholly understood by the people in our lives. True emotional vulnerability is one of the most difficult things to achieve in life, but if we’re willing to take the risk, we’re rewarded with love, community, and the joy of finding kindred spirits in the world.
