Love Yourself

Today, I want to chat about something incredibly important: self-care. Yep, that magical act of showering ourselves with love, attention, and all the good vibes we so readily give to others. As a mixed media artist, life coach, and Reiki master, I've learned a thing or two about the power of self-care, and let me tell you, it's an absolute game-changer.

Picture this: you're flipping through the pages of your life, and you stumble upon a blank canvas. It's daunting, yes, but also filled with endless possibilities. That canvas? It's you. And the masterpiece waiting to unfold? Well, that's your life.

But here's the thing: in order to create a life we truly love, we've got to start by taking care of the artist behind the brush. That's right, my friends, it's time to turn the spotlight inward and shower ourselves with the same love and care we so effortlessly give to others.

Now, I know what you might be thinking. "But I don't have time for self-care!" Trust me, I get it. Life can be hectic, and carving out time for ourselves often takes a backseat to the endless to-do list. But here's the secret: self-care doesn't have to be time-consuming or complicated. In fact, it can be as simple as taking a few deep breaths, indulging in your favorite cup of tea, or spending a few minutes doodling in your journal.

Speaking of journals, let's talk about the magic of mixed media journaling. Not only is it a fantastic way to tap into your creative side, but it's also a powerful tool for self-expression and reflection. Whether you're scribbling down your thoughts, collaging your dreams, or splashing paint across the pages, there's something undeniably freeing about putting pen to paper and letting your imagination run wild.

But here's the best part: mixed media journaling isn't just about creating art; it's about creating a life that you love. It's about embracing your quirks, celebrating your successes, and owning your journey, one colorful page at a time. And let me tell you, there's nothing more empowering than looking back at your journal and realizing just how far you've come.

So, my dear friends, I encourage you to take a moment today to indulge in a little self-care. Whether it's picking up a paintbrush, curling up with a good book, or simply taking a moment to breathe, give yourself permission to prioritize your well-being. Because when we take care of ourselves, we're better equipped to take on the world—and create a life that truly dazzles.

Until next time, keep shining bright and impressing yourself every step of the way.

Creativity has always been a large part of my life. I believe that everyone is a creative, some people just have not discovered their passion yet. My goal is to share the message, “Go Forth and Create!”

Mixed media is my love. I thrive on the freedom of working in any medium I want and combining watercolor, ink, acrylics, fabrics-everything is fair game.

Living in Alaska, I am surrounded by beauty. I find the scenery and the people equally inspiring. the world is endlessly providing inspiration and my mission is to take full advantage. My favorites include color, nature, family, books, people and so much more.
