heart

The Olly Project is a collection of blog posts on emotional intelligence, vulnerability, authenticity, courage, bravery, loss, and grief. This a platform for exploring the heart of human experience, from the lightest and loveliest moments to the darkest and heaviest.

Transition

We find the most sacred parts of ourselves in the midst of transition: what we value, whom we love, where we hurt. I find the expression of these bits of our humanity critical, and therefore moments of transition capture much of my attention as a writer.
