My story

In one of our conversations, Skye Hirst said:

—I think there is an outline that I am hearing from you that I would like you to hear. Write this down…

“My journey started as a little boy in Africa. I liked to draw. I loved to be in the forest with the trees. I have been on a lifetime journey to reconnect to that little boy that got lost, who got left some place.
I have taken enormous steps of accomplishment. The world has rewarded me with a good job, with money to support my family. I think I have helped a lot of people in my workplace, but in that workplace I discovered that I was being killed. I was dying, and I didn’t know why.
I knew I had to find out what I could do differently. I had reached the end. I had hit the wall. I could not continue. I had to go into finding out where that little boy was, but I didn’t know that when I started the journey.
I am going to tell you about that journey. I may be able to pass a few ideas along to you that you can relate to in your own life, but mostly I really want to communicate how deadly our world of workplace has become for so many people—and that it doesn’t have to be that way.”

—How you weave that is up to you. That is your story, and your passion. The beauty of this story is that you get to bring in your paintings.

—There is a very important phrase that I want you to start with somewhere…

“I want to show you my little Jan and the quiet joy that I have discovered.“

Thank you, Skye!
