Advice from My 80-Year-Old Self - Listen to Your Heart

Artist and curator Susan O’Malley, asked a hundred ordinary people between the ages of seven and eighty-eight what advice their 80-year-old selves would give to their present-day selves. Tragically she died suddenly at just 38, a week before her pregnancy due date. The project with its poignant words of wisdom is now published as: Advice from My 80-Year-Old Self: Real Words of Wisdom from People Ages 7 to 88 which benefits the Susan O’Malley Memorial Fund for the Arts supporting emerging artists. susanomalley_advice7 susanomalley_advice11 susanomalley_advice13 susanomalley_advice15 susanomalley_advice4 susanomalley_advice1 susanomalley_advice9 susanomalley_advice5 susanomalley_advice6 susanomalley_advice14 susanomalley_advice3 susanomalley_advice10 susanomalley_advice12 susanomalley_advice8 susanomalley_advice2
