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.
