The 100 Day Project - Share and Bloom - Day 20

Cartoon flower with the caption ‘Sometimes you need manure (a little bit of the shit) to help you grow. The word manure’ pointing to the brown patch underneath the flower. Orange background.

Project:  The100DayProject.org - 100 days of Share and Bloom - Day 20

Illustrator: Jenny

ILLUSTRATOR SAYS:

The aim of my project: to provide a comfort blanket for my soul and the soul of others.

Day 20 image:

  • I often resist bad times.

  • But most of my greatest growth and experiences have come from those bad times.

  • To the point that they’ve all been worthwhile.

  • ‘I wish it could be different than this’ soon or eventually becomes ‘thank God that happened'.

  • It’s not all a bed of roses.

  • But the flowers will burst with a little bit sunshine and water... and a little bit of manure.

Background to The 100 Day Project:

This is a project led by Lindsay Jean Thomson who is a writer and co-founder of Women Catalysts. In 2016, she was diagnosed with breast cancer, a bizarre yet life-affirming experience she chronicled for VICE.

I’d love to get your support and encouragement over the next few months if you’d like to comment and share.

Hope anything I create gives you a little bit of comfort for your soul.
