Braveheart, I believe art heals — and that art is as simple as abiding outdoors with the morning sky or jotting lists or having a favorite color. I created Right Brain Planner® because I needed a "planner" that offered space but didn't trigger my daily expectations — space to dream and chronicle my life. I needed a planner that was a journal — a place to collect my blurts and random bits of color and collage. Perhaps you are in need of the same? If so, I hope you will join me via our shared online connections. ♥

Focus: living our questions from the perspective of both [vulnerability] and being [disconnected] from what-if’s, unknowns and other people’s judgments.
- 💁🏻♀️ I am hosting 🆓 weekly community meetings for the purpose of support and [fun] 📝✂️🖌️📕 because I believe together we are stronger. ❤️ And because, Braveheart, I believe that isolation (hiding away because we feel like we are “too much”) diminishes our peace ☮️ and overall well-being. ♻️
- Last week’s community discussion was focused on [the barriers] that create resistance and prevent us from getting started and/or continuing our right brain planning practice.
The urge to quit everything and/or feeling invisible 🫥 is a normal response to the current events we are experiencing + our personal realities. 🙈🫣
📊 Everything our 🧠 brains and nervous 🏂 systems do is designed as [protective]. ✋➡️🧰 (Designed to redirect and guide us by getting our attention.) 🔍✨
Creativity 🦄🗃️✂️🖌️📐🎨🖌️ is one of the ways we can co-exist [and] move through [and] learn 📯📝✨📖 during times of 😜😝🤣🤪😭😩 angst, anxiety and uncertainty. 📝📥This is why having some form of creative 💢 scaffolding in place is beneficial. 🗓️📊📈🦋✨
🐌 Slow is fast enough and naps are 🪄 magic.
❤️🩹 Life can get better, Braveheart. ~speaking from personal experience 😊
Thank you kindly for your presence here, Braveheart. 💗
I appreciate your interest and support.
~love & good wishes~
⭐️ 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.
❤️ Braveheart, as the Creator/Artist of Right Brain Planner I am ever-grateful to have the opportunity to share my creative work online + support other creators! 🎉 For almost 20 years I have had the privilege of sharing my art and writing about right brain planning while also hosting kindred 👭🏽💞👭 communities. ✨ I consider it an absolute 🤸 delight to continue this portion of my creative 📝🖌️✂️🫧 work (even as I retire from full-time work).
- This is possible, in part, by {you} and your presence here. (Thank you!) 💗 But also because of the support of my Ko-fi patrons and the other member/subscriber communities I host (via their presence, input and paid subscriptions). 🫶
