“The consistency of the process is where the magic is.” -Emily McDowell
I just completed a 100-Day Project exploring this prompt: What if it all works out? 💖
Little did I know that at the end of my 100-days I would be in need of beginning a new 100-day-countdown project—but I definitely need 🪄 the magic going forward.
- 🌈 May 23 (yesterday) was the first quarter 🌓 moon and my Day 1/100. 🥳
- I focused on deciding what resonated + what was doable.
- My second 100-Day Project (theme: Benevolence, Wonder and Meaning)
🔎 These themes will also be the focus of the resources I will be sharing with my Ko-fi patrons. ➡️➡️➡️ Resources will include art + prompts and guiding content.
- Creativity + community may not change whatever challenge or suffering we may be experiencing—BUT the combination of creativity + community definitely makes life easier 😉 (and “funner”). 🤹♀️🤸🧙♀️🛝🎢

The first quarter moon invites preparation. Formulating our ideas (and desires) going forward; waxing like the moon as we move toward fullness.

My most recent 100-day project proved to be a simple way to redirect my thoughts and my focus on a daily basis. I journaled (with hand-written entries, found words, collage, color, lyrics and quotations) ✅ first thing each day.
If a 100-day project sounds interesting and something you would like to try, please know this can be something very simple like daily doodles or tiny-collage in a monthly calendar grid, a 5-minute walk* … or filling in a circle with doodles to literally mark your days. ⬇️

⭐️ I am an artist and curator; I am one who communicates with color, found words and collage, inky marks and doodles as I cycle like the moon (as my calendar), chronicling oracles and abiding with the sky as a meditation.

⭐️ I host creative communities, safe spaces for gathering and sharing. I choose love and creativity for coping with the ongoing challenges of this world and I go to work—not because everything is fine but because I believe art heals.
