This year has been like trudging through mud for me. I can't pinpoint the exact reason and I imagine that's because its actually several different things going on. I have tried to stay somewhere in the middle, not giving in to sadness but never really experiencing great happiness either. Its a strange place to be. In September though, something inside me shifted and I feel lighter. I want others to feel lighter too, so I make colorful art. These sunflowers in particular made me smile. I love this little drawing. It helped push that light feeling forward so that it has expanded and grown. I hope to keep moving in that direction and I hope you can too ❤

Happy Monday! A few new journals and a sunflower drawing found their way on to my website yesterday. Journals are great for all sorts of things. You could keep a harvest record or write about your dreamy fall color drives. Check them out on my website!
