I LOVE this!
LOVE Mari! <3
I love these illustrations each week! Thanks for adding this :-)
So much love for this. I’m going through some rough things at work, and yesterday my husband commented that I was much more calm than I would have been a year ago under the same circumstances. I think that’s because the last 12 months have been so difficult, and I’ve grown because of it.
My darkest moment ended up being my greatest gift. All in one summer: Dumped by my long-term partner + health scare + parents separated + grad school … I could only go day by day and owe my mother a life time of gratitude for always picking up the phone in the middle of the night. Overcoming made me into the person I am today– tough as nails and more empathy than I know what to do with.
Does growth always come from adversity? I think fellow commenter Allison is on the right track. I would add support, introspection, and even teeny, tiny personal successes.
Great words, perfect timing! (:
Wauw, these words came at a great timing, thank you (:
Aww I love this little illustration so much, thanks for sharing! 2016 was definitely a big year of all of these for me- I don’t doubt this year will be the same. I think it’s important to continue to remind ourselves that ultimately all of these are to help us grow! :)
Yes, so true. It is the challenges that test us, and make us seek and try. Those are the pathways to growth. Often I wish this weren’t the case, but better to embrace this true, and let it be a comfort as I walk through the valleys.
Growth is what life offer us in exchange for its harshness )
Always love these illustrations.
Happy Friday! :)

I always like the posts on career development from a female perspective.
Thanks for introducing us to Mari Andrew! I always look forward to these posts.
A must for me in Paris is L’Avant Comptoir. It’s hidden behind an unassuming crepe stand. You won’t be disappointed.
