So last January 2022, I started a practice of daily drawings. My goal was 365 days of drawing and writing. I used these little 4x6 simple journals and jumped in. My only rule was I wasn’t allowed to use ANY pencil or eraser...just my black drawing pen. I was learning to let go of ‘perfection’ and to practice drawing, something I wanted to get better at. Everyday after work, I would draw a simple drawing or get inspiration from drawings I found on Pinterest. And then I would write something about it, like what I was thinking about how I did with the picture or what I was going through at the time. The journals became so much more. It was an emotional journey that continues today. I’m on year two, notebook #11, and I’ve even branched out to add watercolor to my simple drawings. But still, no pencils or erasers. I even added blind contour drawings and tried to come up with my own inspired drawings. I actually stopped recently for a few weeks because the end of school was exhausting, but have picked it back up...And I’m also one of those who has Julie Camron’s book ‘The Artist’s Way’ and have been doing morning pages at 5:00 AM since last summer :) Thank you Wendy for your continued inspiration...

“As we get older and things can start to feel narrower, how do we continue to create the life we want for ourselves? In the midst of change and hard times, how do we let go of stuff we no longer want, and how do we create habits of those we do?” THIS!!
