So I’ve been in a bit of a Disney kick lately since I created a new Instagram account solely for my love of all things Disney. I didn’t want to bombard everyone on my main account with these pics, so I decided that creating a separate Disney account for them was best. It’s been fun following other Disney IG accounts too! I literally have an IG feed full of Disney…

artist date: sketching at fort tryon park (and searching for inspiration)
Read moreLately, I’ve been struggling with feeling uninspired and unmotivated to create. So this past week, my friend John and I went on another artist date. This time we did a bit of sketching at Fort Tryon Park. We initially intended to visit the gardens and just sketch some flowers. Yet, we ended up exploring and discovering some new places in the park that we didn’t even know existed. Like Billings…

DIY Delfonics Utility Pouch
Read moreIf you’ve been following along over on my Youtube channel, you’d know that a few weeks ago I shared this pouch I made to house my journaling supplies that looks a little like the Delfonics Utility Pouch. The response was seriously overwhelming, with everyone either wondering if I was selling them or if there was a tutorial on how to make them. I responding to each comment asking me this,…

your stories matter
Read moreI finally made it out to Central Park this spring and it was such a lovely day. I found ALL THE BLOSSOMS! Honestly, I think this was the first time ever that I walked from one end of the park (59th Street) to the other end (110th Street) all in one go. My brother and I walked it this past Tuesday. My intention was to find some blossoms, soak up…

currently – 04.15.19
Read moreI turn a year older today. I don’t particularly feel my age (nor do people believe it because I don’t look it), so I guess being a year older doesn’t mean much. But I thought it would be fitting to do a currently post, just to share where I am now–or today really. It’s always nice to have these sorts of things documented. Reading — Someone Like You by Sarah Dessen.…

my Top 5 favorite 80s teen movies
Read more80s teen movies are kind of my favorite type of teen movie. I keep a running list of them on my computer desktop and constantly check off the ones I’ve seen. I haven’t seen them all yet, but from the ones that I have, I have my favorites. These are the movies that I can rewatch at anytime and still enjoy it like I did the first time I saw…

little talks | introducing my new podcast
Read moreSo I started a podcast. To be honest, it wasn’t really my idea at all, so I can’t take all the credit for it. My best friend Amanda came to me wanting to do something–in that way we all want to do something–and suggested we start a podcast. I didn’t think much of starting a podcast in the beginning, but the more we talked about it, the more it began…

artist date: sketching at the museum of natural history
Read moreAbout two weeks ago, my friend John and I went on an artist date. We went to the American Museum of Natural History to do a bit of sketching. The idea of an artist date is nothing new. It actually originates from Julia Cameron’s The Artist Way, and it’s an invitation to an artist to take themselves out on an outing to jumpstart their creativity and fill their inspiration well.…

to begin again
Read moreWhat I like most about journaling is beginning a new journal. Is that weird? I like the idea that I am able to begin again and start fresh. I have a lot of trouble finishing a journal, but never starting a new one. Sometimes I wish I could go back in time and begin this whole creative journey over again. Start fresh with a new blog, new Youtube channel, new…

currently / a mixtape
Read moreI haven’t been listening to music like I used to. I think that’s a by product of either getting older or that mainstream music sucks and I don’t want to waste time searching out good, less mainstream, music. So I fall into the trap of listening to my already established favorites and re-listening to past favorites that are still relevant. And you know those songs are special because they can…

unraveling 2019
Read moreI know it’s January 3rd and I usually post this much earlier in December, but it’s taken me a bit to figure out exactly what I want my intentions to be for this new year. You can say I’m being intentional with my intentions. As such, I’ve been taking my time filling out Susannah Conway’s Unravel Your Year workbook. Reflecting back, 2018 seemed like a very stagnant year for me…

my unraveling journal
Read moreI know what you may be thinking, “what is an unraveling journal?” Short answer: My unraveling journal is going to be my personal creative place where I document my journey of self discovery through writing, photos, and art. Long answer: Some years ago–I think is was 2015–I purchased an ecourse from the lovely Susannah Conway called Unraveling: Ways of Seeing Yourself. She no longer offers it for sale, but I’ve…
