I’ve been keeping a health tracker and filling i I’ve been keeping a health tracker and filling it in religiously every day. I started with a Hobonichi A6 Avec (Daily), then a Hobonichi Weeks, then a PTD Weekly, then the Hobo Weeks again. The daily didn’t have a decent weekly view. The PTD didn’t have enough space and the Hobo Weeks? I CANNOT get myself to love it. Cannot. Will I accept this fact after trying it out five separate times? Probably not. But I was watching my fellow Grey @itskaitlingrey’s video on her TN Weekly and something clicked. I do my health focuses in 12 week stretches, started a new one on Monday, and so it was perfect timing. Paired it with my self coaching / coaching with Kelli journal (TN lightweight paper) and it’s a great partnership for this cover. The cover itself has a star that I have wanted since forever from @erin_ware_journaling / @mylifemits, plus a South African beaded flag (beads are v traditional, it’s kitsch I love it). Covering notebooks in this simple way is my fave since highschool and I love Erin for bringing me back to it. Last pic is pure happiness and part of looking after my mental and physical health. Love this setup deeply so far except for one thing : I still hate using Travelers Notebooks in the leather cover. It makes for such a bumpy experience with any other notebook grouped together. Any tips for learning to love it?
The most incredible package of gifts from Aunt T 🌸 including this journal. Perks of creative friends is their art as gifts. 😍
This year my planner has been saving me. Last ye This year my planner has been saving me. Last year was a bit of a disaster and this year is following its footsteps but I won’t give up the effort of finding good in the messy middle. It’s one thing to have “embrace the messy middle” written on the wall of the studio but it’s another to live it. To give myself bits of creativity and heart and goodness. I had a great convo with someone recently about art as documenting. It reminded me of how much that is good for me. Gratitude really is powerful. T has sent me a gratitude list every Sunday evening for FIVE years. He is a man of habit and routine and discipline and it’s insane to see. I am a person of bits. Small, repeated (a little irregular) effort. Writing down small bits of what happened allow me to find things to be grateful for right amongst the shit. Looking back at what I feel like has been a really hard year, I’m able to still see beauty. Thinking about all the things I had to let go of because of a sick child, I’m able to see all the dreams I had that DID get done. Despite it. Through it. Because of it. And seeing art from online friends, and adorable pigeons inside it is the icing on top. (And PS my week has already changed plans because of a sick boy 🙄)
