A retrospective journal spread for 2020...these ar A retrospective journal spread for 2020...these are some blank pages in the back of my planner and I’m flipping back through the months and weeks to document the things I started, finished, loved or hated, was blessed with or overcame.  I’ve set up space for 20 things (because 2020) but if I feel like turning the page and writing more I will. There are no rules to journaling. Wishing you all a lovely few more days of this year. 🤍

Earlier this year I made a commissioned piece for a virtual healing circle.  I was honored to contribute to such a beautiful and necessary event.  It’s now many months later ... but in the midst of pandemic and holidays and lockdown, it’s still important that Black lives matter.
