Description
The image shows an open notebook with cream-colored pages featuring handwritten text in black ink. The notebook has a red cover, partially visible to the right. The handwriting is neatly organized and covers the right page fully, while the left page is also filled with writing that is mostly upside down, indicating it might be content from the next page showing through. The notebook is centered against a black background, creating a stark contrast that emphasizes the text on the pages.

Transcription
Gail Butt - my design painting professor used to pronounce loudly & repeatedly "My mother loved me but she died." We giggled. We looked at each other & rolled our eyes even. But this is it. You have to CARE more than anyone else does about your vision + your work + a tad smatter about business.
