“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? ๐
Little did I know that at the end of my 100-days I would be in need of beginning a new 100-day-countdown projectโbut I definitely need ๐ช the magic going forward.
- ๐ May 23 (yesterday) was the first quarter ๐ moon and my Day 1/100. ๐ฅณ
- I focused on deciding what resonated + what was doable.
- My second 100-Day Project (theme: Benevolence, Wonder and Meaning)
๐ These themes will also be the focus of the resources I will be sharing with my Ko-fi patrons. โก๏ธโก๏ธโก๏ธ Resources will include art + prompts and guiding content.
- Creativity + community may not change whatever challenge or suffering we may be experiencingโBUT the combination of creativity + community definitely makes life easier ๐ (and “funner”). ๐คนโโ๏ธ๐คธ๐งโโ๏ธ๐๐ข

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) โ 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. โฌ๏ธ

โญ๏ธ 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.
