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. ♥

❤️ Braveheart, let’s please remember that everything counts (breath-by-breath envisioning, wishing and hoping; teeny tiny steps). K? Because 🎢 we can always (always) trust our pace.

💁🏻‍♀️ I am currently devoting my ⏰ time and ♻️ energies to 🎨🖌️ painty pages, ✂️📏📖 collage & right brain planning amidst twinkle ✨ lights, music 🎶🎧 and steamy ☕️ cuppas.

💬➡️📲 But on deck for the annual (and often 😅🤭🙃 disorienting) in-between week (after 12/25 and 1/1)—content about how to begin (or resume) a right brain planning practice ➡️➡️➡️ (or any version of a creative practice):

  • [an intentional choice of]
  • ♻️ self-compassion
  • 🗣️ expression
  • 🔎 attention and/or
  • 💭 reflection
  • (as a 📆 dated entry)

There are always two mindsets we (continually) cycle through regarding change:

  1. [fill-in-the-blank] will never happen because [fill-in-the-blank]
  2. all things are possible (eventually) … and today is Day One; baby steps count

Braveheart, I encourage you to allow today to be Day One. And, remember, any day can be Day One. Begin (or resume) whenever you are ready …

Right Brain Planner is a collection of lunar + seasonal prompts and journal-planning ideas to encourage self-compassion and review, reflection and expression, discovery and healing.

Braveheart, we learn by doing: we discover details about ourselves through chronicled observation 👀✍️📔 because everything we experience is data. 📊

Data is value-neutral; it is neither “good’ or “bad”—it is merely information to use for our choices, intentions and conclusions. Remembering this helps us to live free from judgment and shoulds.

Thank you kindly for your presence here. 

I appreciate your interest and support.

~love & good wishes~

❤️ 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. 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).
