"embrace the happy accidents" Now THAT'S an EP title waiting to happen. That is such great advice for creatives too. I know I love to plan and then plan for my planning, but letting go and having the process work in its own mysterious ways is so helpful to remember.

My whole life seems like an accident, some are not as happy as others!

"...but sometimes the best ideas come when your original plan gets completely wrecked."

And when that happens, it's like a bolt of lightning. Being open to/embracing that is definitely a work in progress for me, but I also think it's critically important.

Trusting the flow is critical. Most importantly, being aware and opening our eyes to the world around us. If I had been playing on my phone that night I wouldn't have seen the opportunity.
