A direct line from my art table to your inbox—where creativity, connection, and a little chaos collide.

Today, the sun came out ☀️ Both literally and figuratively.

The last couple of weeks I've written to you about mental health and the place that I've been in. And dare I say, things are looking up. I'm hopefully optimistic, because over the last week I've had more up days than down. 🙌🏼

And with the change of the season, the start of a new month, and beginning of a new quarter (and over a month of trying to be patient with the depression and take care of myself) I am feeling a shift.

Are you feeling it, too?

One thing that gets me excited at the beginning of a new quarter is it means that I get to start a new Everything Journal. This is a journal that I write in everyday. And well, everything goes into it. My morning pages, my ideas, my thoughts, my plans for future classes, and some art, too!

I have found that the container (the journal) that I pour myself into each day is important. I learned this binding style from Andrea Chebeleu, and since then I have never gone back. I've been using it for a year and a half — and don't see myself changing any time soon 🖤

If you would like to learn to make one of these journals, I highly suggest Andrea's class. Use code BBSENTME for $10 off.
