Just in case you need a little levity.
In 2016 while shopping in NYC I came across this art piece at a gallery in soho. I remember immediately being drawn to it... so I bought it and had it shipped to spanx. I hung it on the wall in my personal office and every time someone would come in and look at it I would see them flinch (🤣) and say something like “well, that’s depressing!”. At one point my longtime assistant and confidante Lisa pulled me aside and said, “Sar, your art is freaking everybody out.” 😂 But to me.... it wasn’t depressing at all. I’ve always had an interesting relationship with my own mortality. I use it often to put things in perspective, help manage my nervous, and help me take more risks throughout my life that scare me. It was simply a reminder. sitting at my desk, in back-to-back meetings, frustrated, stressed, making exactly 100000 decisions every hour that always somehow felt like life or death.....i would look up at that quote, and it would put things into perspective. It was a stark reminder not to take life (and work) so seriously. Because it’s true... we’re gonna die. 🤷♀️😂 So if you needed it…here’s your reminder to laugh more, and not take yourself too seriously… and to take that risk. ❤️💪👊
Ps. I eventually took it down and it now hangs in my home office where it freaks my kids out. 😂🤷♀️
