#leaptojoy

When the itch to change things hits, I don’t change them immediately. Instead, I ponder 🤔. More on this on the blog #leaptojoy #pondering #linkinbio https://www.instagram.com/p/CA03Co7g0vO/?igshid=nzvkkhm0yvik

This never fails. If I let it happen :) #poetry #creativity #leaptojoy https://www.instagram.com/p/B_SykYJA-uD/?igshid=1u04k97ijtny8

I’ve been pondering a lot about taking a more mindful approach to chronic pain instead of my usual (unhealthy) coping strategies. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve had a pain flare these past couple of days, and I’ve worked on implementing more mindful strategies. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I write about one of those moments on my blog, and it has everything to do with the font I’m making in this picture. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The link to this blog post is in my bio. #leaptojoy #fontdesign #chronicpain https://www.instagram.com/p/B-_ufBygTsO/?igshid=xhrbry3uvm3q

Yesterday, I put this old journal page on the cover of one of my artjournals. It's a reminder to myself for the days when fear has me by the throat and doesn't let me go. It’s for the days when I lock myself in bed, afraid for the world after reading the news incessantly. On those days, I need a reminder that joy is a choice. And when I choose to play in my artjournal, grab a pen, grab my stash of papers, that is when my joy sings. That is when I come to life. I wasn't born to live in deep fear every single day. I was born to create. My artjournal now serves as a great reminder of that. #leaptojoy #artjournal #artjournaling https://www.instagram.com/p/B-lsmAHA9_H/?igshid=1kf1scycutykf

#aprillove2020 for 25-3 - my smile 😊 Just worked on my blog, and then sat down to smile up at the camera. When I looked at my picture, my eyes filled with tears. My whole face radiates pure joy. This is who I want to be. This is who I am. #joy #leaptojoy https://www.instagram.com/p/B-JzX5Cg5ss/?igshid=4fdspwplkpsu
