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.
I’m beginning my unraveling journal with documenting the word BLOOM, my one little word for the year. I really wanted my word to be front and center, so that I’m reminded of it every time I open up this journal. Like I mentioned in my previous post, I want BLOOM to be my guide this year. I also wanted to get down a few things I wrote in my copy…
I 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…
I 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…
It’s that time of the year again. That time when I sit down and fill out my 2018 Unravel Your Year workbook from Susannah Conway and think about all of my intentions for the new year. This new year, I really want to simplify my life and focus on specific things that I want to get done and happen. I just feel like I took on too much this year and was sort…
I am a firm believer that we never truly “grow up” as people. Yes we get older and yes we take on more responsibilities, but does that mean we are really “grown up?” I guess being in my twenties, I’m forever stuck in that “you’re an adult now!” “no, not really” stage of my life. I’m not married nor do I have any kids of my own. I manage my own…
“Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say, and not giving a damn.” – Orson Welles I want to share something with you all today that I shared in my Mindfully You email that went out the first of this month. This month’s theme is Style and as such, I have asked everyone to explore their personal style–if they have one–and the styles that have influenced them…
What matters is taking a moment to reflect on the year that’s passing and tune into the year that’s coming. Paying attention to your intentions and dreams. Your big plans and little plans. — Susannah Conway 2016 is finally drawing to a close, so that means another lovely workbook from Susannah Conway! I’ve been looking forward to this book since the ending of November because I didn’t really get a…
I like being home. It seems weird coming from me, a person who loves to travel, but when I’m here in my hometown of New York City, I just like being home, inside in my room with my dog, all of my crafty stuff and my imagination (or Netflix) to keep me company. I don’t know what it is, but I become this homebody whenever I return home. Generally, I only…
She was beautiful in white, walking out to an instrumental version of Bruno Mars’ Just The Way You Are, which was so distinctly her that it made you smile amongst all the tears. She laughed through the whole ceremony, but you had to expect that because that’s how she deals with nervousness. Afterwards, my friend found the whole thing odd, and not because our high school friend had just gotten married, but…
No matter how confident you may be, there’s always going to be that moment of self doubt where your inner critic tries to convince you that you’re not good, pretty, or talented enough. I don’t really know how to start this, but it’s something that’s been on my mind for weeks now and with the topic popping up on two blogs that I follow, I just feel like bringing it…
My dad was a memory keeper, even if he didn’t know it. He was a photographer, not professionally, but as a hobby. He kept those old school albums that were really old fashion scrapbooks. He even collaged a lot of his photos. So when I pulled out his photos one night, I honestly thought it was going to be hard to look at them because he passed away two years…
I don’t take fashion seriously at all. It always cycles and for me it’s way too much work to follow the trends. I’m very much unlike some of my fellow 25 year olds around me! But I have noticed a few things when I looked over my wardrobe and the favorite pieces of clothing that I like to wear. I feel most comfortable in jeans and a t-shirt or jean…
