What is it that you’re digging for?
What inspires you? What challenges you? Where are you stuck? Can you give yourself permission to unearth something great? Author Ashley Reale looks at depth as a character trait that when harnessed can transform the way we communicate, create, and connect. She offers 5 practical tools for digging deep (in both life AND art) and challenges us to find a community to cheer you on when life gets dark.
About the speaker
Graduating from art school with a B.A. in fashion design, Ashley Reale took her degree to New York City where she began a vibrant career in the fashion industry. Feeling a lack of purpose in the big business of mall brand fashion, Ashley began leaving herself and others handwritten encouragement notes to stay inspired and uplifted. Before she knew it, friends were joining her in her mission to spread joy, and Love Everywhere was born. Based out of Nashville, Ashley spends her time raising her two kiddos, laughing at her rambunctious rescue dog, and cultivating a community of kind hearts and good vibes through the simple act of sharing words the same way friends share coffee. Graciously, sincerely, and with love.
Favorite quotes from this talk See all
People are like lasagna. We're all just dry noodles going through life until the water heats up and we get tossed into a boiling pot. Suddenly, we're being layered with a bunch of other ingredients. At this point, things can get messy. Some of us are super saucy. Some of us are super cheesy. Some of us have dark burn spots on the top because we've been left in the oven too long. The point is that while every recipe varies, we're all still lasagna; we're all some sort of noodle, tomato sauce, and cheese combination.
