Unraveling is my thoughts and revelations about myself and my life. Inspired by Susannah Conway’s Unravelling: Ways of Seeing Myself e-course and her book This I Know: Notes on Unraveling the Heart.

a longing for more
Read moreI feel like I’m constantly reaching for more. More of what? I have no idea; just more. Like there’s always something more I could be doing with my time, more to discover, more people to inspire and be inspired by, more things I could be creating… Just more. And the thing is, whenever I do discover more, inspire or am inspired more, and create more, there’s still that longing feeling…

floating on air
Read moreI’ve never been one for concrete goal setting. To be honest, I think when we set specific goals, they often fall through the cracks…at least for me they do. I instead set intentions…things I intend to do, but am in no way obligated to do. Because plans can change and they do change. And sometimes, they change when you don’t want or weren’t expecting them to change. I recently had…

girl in the art boots
Read moreHere’s a photo of a girl in a dress, with wonky knees, wearing tall brown boots with flowers and paintbrushes sticking out of them. It’s not particularly original or insightful or groundbreaking. It’s just a photo of a girl trying to take a pretty self portrait in her “art boots.” I enjoy taking photos of my feet. Particularly from a bird’s-eye view because it gives off a sense of grounding.…

noise in my head
Read moreI live in a beautifully rich intricate world—a whole other world only I am privy to—always spinning and swirling in my head. It’s filled with all of my hopes and dreams; and fantasies about perfection rising from imperfection. It’s constantly fueled by epic stories of the mystical and the mundane. There’s light and dark. Love and hate. It’s a wonderfully safe space and my own worst enemy. I’ve always been…

outsider
Read moreI’m a fairly quiet human beam. I sit, observe, and I listen. I listen to the tones, to the vibes, to the body language. I listen to the words and manner of speech, but most importantly, I listen to my intuition and generally keep all the things I’ve learned in those moments to myself. I’ve been this way for as long as I can remember. Shy. Observant. Reserved. Quiet. I’ve…

hope is a light in the heart | journal with me ✩ 40
Read moreHello lovelies. I do hope you are all doing well. It’s some crazy times we’re living in right now and I pray you are all coping well. I’ve been struggling a lot with my anxiety. I’m fine in terms of being home. I’m an introvert and being home is where I’m at 85% of the time, so no struggle there! But I’m prone to excessive worry and I can dig…

my one little word | journal with me ✩ 39
Read moreFor the first spread in my unraveling journal this year, I documented my One Little Word–with four supporting words–and how they all relate to the intentions I’ve set for myself. For this spread, I used my new January printable, In Harmony. It happened to go really well with this floral pattern paper from Maggie Holmes’ Bloom collection. I threw in the black and white swan piece from my March 2019…

reflections on 2019 | journal with me ✩ 38
Read moreBefore I jump into 2020 in my unraveling journal, I wanted to wrap up 2019 with a reflections entry. I wanted to reflect back on my year and jot down some thoughts on what I’ve learned about myself. I decided to use the remaining bits of my December Winter Cottage printable for this spread, seeing how I I haven’t used it in this journal yet. Seeing bits from each of…

Read moreIt’s that lovely time of the year again where I sit down and work through Susannah Conway’s Unravel Your Year workbook and meditate on my intentions for the new year. It is also the time I settle on my One Little Word for the year by going through her Find Your Word companion workbook. This is my little new year ritual. I find these tools extremely helpful to me. They…

unravel your year + a peek at my unraveling journal
Read moreI wanted to share with you today a handy little resource I use to prepare myself for the new year. It is the Unravel Your Year workbook from Susannah Conway. I’ve been filling out this free workbook from her since 2014. It’s become a ritual of sorts, to just sit down, reflect on the year that has passed and meditate on the new year ahead. Working through this workbook helps…

just start playing | journal with me ✩ 36
Read moreI am back with another journal with me in my unraveling journal! I created this spread using my new Harvest Rose printable I have for free in my shop for the month of November. I’m going to be entirely honest here, I have no idea what I’m going to journal on these pages. Even before beginning this spread, I didn’t know what I would write. I just started playing around with…
