Today is the ๐๐๐ moon is waxing to full; it is the day ๐ช after one of the most talented and kind humans left Earth ๐ชฆ (RIP Miss Dolly) and โ Day 96/100 of my second 100-Day Project for this year, (theme: Benevolence, Wonder and Meaning). Themes have guided through a ๐ข busy (joy-filled and stressful) summer of family ๐ visits, medical ๐ฅ๐ฅผ appointments, surgeries and physical therapy.
Braveheart, 2026 has felt like a crossover โก๏ธ between two territories: my Before and my Now. It has felt like a year of details that combined to form a portal; a long-awaited point of transition + manifestation that coincided with my soul being engaged and ready. And frankly, likely facilitated feeling ๐ ready.

Firstly, I want to invite you to celebrate an anniversary with me: ๐ง 6 years of kindred community offering support and resources via Ko-fi! ๐๐ฅณ๐ฉ๐ปโ๐ป
- In celebration, I am offering you a free copy of the โฌ๏ธ first download made available to my Ko-fi patrons.
๐ฅ [DOWNLOAD]
๐ ALSO โก๏ธโก๏ธโก๏ธ you are invited to join me ๐ฉ๐ปโ๐ป๐๐ฉโ๐ป๐ฉ๐พโ๐ป online Saturday, August 29 to celebrate + make art cards (or do whatever works for you) via Zoom (1:30-2:30-ish p.m. Central Time).
- If you are not a Ko-fi patron, you are welcome to join this session. โค๏ธ Please feel free to ๐ฒ contact me to receive the meeting link.
- Ko-fi patrons may access the meeting link here.
“At any time you can ask yourself: At which threshold am I now standing? At this time in my life, what am I leaving? Where am I about to enter? What is preventing me from crossing my next threshold?” -John OโDonohue

Braveheart, thresholds invite self-compassion and vulnerability and expression.
I have chosen Opening Up by Writing It Down because its theme it is so closely related to my right brain planning practice.
๐๐ปโโ๏ธ We will meet once a month (on the second Saturday afternoon, Central Time) to discuss โก๏ธ one chapter of this book. This book has 10 chapters.
โก๏ธโก๏ธโก๏ธ I have received a couple of inquiries from friends in ๐ Australia about the meeting time. I am open to considering a later time in the afternoon (Central Time) but it would still require an early ๐ซฃ wake-up to join from Australia. So-o, if that is doable, please contact me via Instagram.
- Time Converter โก๏ธ I know an exact conversion can be tricky because I have several subscribers who live in Australia who have participated in past discussions. But if you are interested, please use this converter and let me know your thoughts.
- Cost: Due to the exchange rate between USD and AUD, I offer a discounted rate to Australian patrons. ๐
- New and used copies of ๐ this book are available on Amazon.com (and likely available in your local area at used book stores or library sales).
โ Right brain chronicles (jotted notes, ๐ color vents, โ๏ธ๐ collage and ๐๏ธ doodles of our ๐ญ ponderings and ๐๏ธ dated mental wanderings) are the data + a map of our living, serving as a tangible record of:
- questions and ๐ช wishes
- keywords and phrases ๐
- daydreams and nighttime dreams ๐ค๐ญ๐ค
- what we feel and think ๐๐๐ฃ๐
- what we want to experience โค๏ธ
- what we need to foster our well-being โป๏ธ
- what we want to discover and learn about ๐ง ๐ค
- sky meditations + phases ๐ (everything cycles)
โ Right brain chronicles can become a sacred ๐ฟ space for ๐ processing what we need and desireโspace where we ๐ observe and process the data of Life; and to โป๏ธ empower us to make ๐ choices (and prioritize) what matters most to us. โค๏ธ
๐๐ง It has been my delight to host communities + publish resources that foster the practice of a creative record [tangible and intangible] of intention and story for almost 20 years.
The best is yet to come, Braveheart! ๐
Thank you kindly for your presence here.
I appreciate your interest and support.
~love & good wishes~
