april love 2016: dear books
Read moreDear Books, One of my favorite things to do in the world is to find a comfy spot and curl up with a good book in my hands and read. I haven’t done that in quite awhile as I haven’t set time aside to read a new book, but it’s something I terribly miss and really should make time for. For me, reading is a way to escape my real…

Read moreDear Intuition, Wow, you are absolutely great. I honestly don’t think you know how great you are, but trust me, you’re amazing. What magic you posses! When I listen to you and when I trust you, you never steer me wrong. You are always right, and while no one is always right, you are and that’s magical. I’ve learned to listen to you, Intuition. I mean, I’ve always took into…

april love 2016: dear morning
Read moreDear Morning, We are not friends. It is unfortunate, but so true. It’s always a constant struggle and as much as I wish we could be friends, I honestly don’t see anyway that we could. I’m such a night owl that I dismiss you all of the time. Staying up late, I often miss out on you, Morning, as I’m fine just sleeping in and missing out. I often find…

april home 2016: dear feet
Read moreDear Feet, You’ve taken me to so many amazing places, walked me through time and history, kept me grounded in my world and supported my weight through so many adventures. We’ve touched the earth in so many different places. We experienced so many new lands and cultures and habitats. We adapted. We took barefooted strolls along the beaches of the Mediterranean, and the Caribbean, and the Pacific and Thailand. We…

april love 2016: dear home
Read moreDear Home, They say that home is where your heart is and I’m starting to think that they’re right. Home to me is wherever I feel most content, most comfortable and the most myself. It is where my mind and my heart can run free and be whomever they want to be. Home is my shelter. It is where I’m with my family, the only people in the entire world…

april love 2016: dear love
Read moreDear Love, I’ve always questioned you. And I suppose that I still do. I will never truly understand the entire scope of your reach until I deeply witness it first hand. I don’t think I’ve ever been “in love.” I don’t think that’s a bad thing. I still have time, but I think it’s unfortunate. I’ve been “in like” with a person but I never trust them enough to fall…

the art of journaling + get messy season of love: love is confusing
Read moreI’m back with another art of journaling spread, featuring Get Messy Season of Love. This is probably my favorite spread yet! I was sort of inspired by a tutorial from Season of Happy and had that in mind when I was doing this page. One of the Season of Love prompts said to think about and journal some of the bad, less romantic aspects of love or being in love…

the art of journaling + get messy season of love: what is love?
Read moreSo, with Get Messy: Season of Happy being over and the fact that I wasn’t really creating much in any of my art journals recently–towards the end there I because dissatisfied with my Happy book I made–I decided to go back to journaling in my “art of journaling” notebook. I’m just going to call it that, because that’s what I titled the series of spreads I did in it last…

get messy: season of happy week four
Read moreIt’s time for Get Messy! This week I based my two spreads that I somehow–quite magically in fact–managed to create on just one of the prompts. The one based on Baz Luhrmann’s “Everybody’s Free (To Wear Sunscreen).” I played around with two lyrics from the song that stood out to me. Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard. This was the first lyric that…
