Here’s this week’s layout. The left side here is a pair of boots that I liked. They are drawn from a photograph.
And the right side is a workdesk. the perspective is not perfect but i still love it.
And there we are. Here’s another week of practicing courage. Fifty-two stamps is a project for 2015. You can read more about it here.
This week’s pick is about being brave. It says “you have to be open to new possibilities, and take steps towards being brave so that you fee more alive.” See how I worked so many of my core desired feelings into that one? 🙂 some sweet shimmers on this one:

This week’s page was another Life Book lesson. One by Lynn Whipple which was about making a jar with all the things that make you happy. No added message on this one, since there were so many words on it already. Note to self: remember that there are always people, things, thoughts, places, activities that bring you joy at any moment. and even when things are tougher, most of these things are still available to you. Note to Self is a project for 2015. You can read more about it here.
Here’s this week’s layout, not my super favorite but the trick is to keep going. The left side here is a government building i liked and wanted to draw. It didn’t come out looking the way i’d hoped but that’s ok.
And the right side is supposed to be a bed. Somehow I find beds really hard to draw.
And there we are. Here’s another week of practicing courage. Fifty-two stamps is a project for 2015. You can read more about it here.
This week’s pick is about serenity. There’s nothing like the outdoors and tall trees and soft, gentle wind to remind me of what matters most. To bring me back to the place of serenity and calm and connection with nature. It always grounds me and I wish I did it more often. just a few shimmers on this one:

This week’s page takes its inspiration from Mati Rose McDonough’s lesson from Life Book 2015. Her little boat made me so happy that I needed to do one myself right away. I loved working on the background of this page. I just played with the colors I loved and didn’t overthink any of the process. That’s generally when magic happens. The writing says: always believe that something wonderful is about to happen. This is a perfect quote for someone like me. someone who always worries. Someone who imagines bad things in her head a lot. Someone who isn’t always all that optimistic. I want to change all that. I want to believe in magic and that it’s not only possible but probable in my life. I’ve been so lucky, so incredibly fortunate in my life that I owe it to the universe to honor its wonderfulness. here’s a front view it’s less shiny:
Note to self: be open to the possibility of wonderful. full of wonder. Note to Self is a project for 2015. You can read more about it here.
I am still running behind and this is falling to the bottom of my catch up list. It will all work out and I will be magically caught up one day. Just not today :). The left side here is a house I liked. I wish I could be better at drawing and painting houses, I really like seeing them.
And the right side is a couch with a plant. Nothing like the huge brown couch I own but I like it.
And there we are. Here’s another week of practicing courage. Fifty-two stamps is a project for 2015. You can read more about it here.
This week’s pick is about being open. believing that wonderful things are happening all the time and can happen at any time. Being open to receive them. Noticing them when they do. Allowing all of the goodness to wash over you. And opening your arms wide to receive it all. and it shimmers 🙂

This week’s page is another one of Tam’s beautiful Life Book lessons. She had these wonderful connected shapes but I was doing assignment on Valentine’s Day and thought it might be fun to just use hearts and see how it turned out. I also decided to use some colors I don’t usually use. I will admit, I don’t like how it turned out. I don’t hate it, but it’s nowhere near the top of my favorites list. I did love her art and I will have to try this lesson again another time, without the hearts and with different color choices. The writing says: we are all connected through love. I’ve been doing this new practice this year where I just assume someone’s snappy comments are not about me. When they don’t say anything and my natural instinct is to go to my head. To make it all about me. To assume this other person is upset with me. But this year, I am doing the opposite. I am assuming it’s not about me. I am thinking of other possibilities. I am even thinking they want to help me. I am thinking they want the best for me. It allows me to expand and not contract. It allows me to be my best self. It allows me to remember that the world is full of abundance. That we’re all connected and can do more together. Always. Note to self: assume the best of others. assume they want the best for you. they love you. and love them. unconditionally. Note to Self is a project for 2015. You can read more about it here.
Apologies for not posting Everyday Braves for the last two weeks. I actually did these a while ago but haven’t had time to upload them as the last two weeks have been a rollercoaster ride of insane amount of work. Now that we are back to normal I am hoping to catch up on all things slowly. The left side here is actually a Swiss tram. At least my version of it. I did this page before my first trip to Zurich.
And the right side is a teapot and a swing of flowers in the middle, just for fun.
And there we are. Here’s another week of practicing courage. Fifty-two stamps is a project for 2015. You can read more about it here.
This week’s pick is about abundance. An abundance of kindness. Being open to receiving it and to giving it. Being kind even when the other person might not fully deserve it. Being kind for no reason. Being kind without waiting for anything in return. Being kind because it makes me feel wonderful to be kind. My goal this year is always be as kind as I can be, and then be a bit kinder than that. no shimmer on this page. 🙂 You Choose is a project for 2015. You can read more about it here.
This week’s page takes its inspiration from Tam’s lesson from Life Book. I loved her feather so much that I immediately wanted to make one of my own. The text for this week says: you get to always choose how you feel. Are you seeing a pattern here? I think these pages helped me when I was going through a tough time. I wanted to remind myself again and again that I own my feelings and they don’t own me. Even if it feels the other way around sometimes. Note to self: alive is how i want to feel. alive and serene at the same time. Note to Self is a project for 2015. You can read more about it here. |
