“Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so you shall become. Your vision is the promise of what you shall one day be; your ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil.” -James Allen
This year I have been focused on [freedom] (my current guide word for 2026). I have been decluttering (tangible and intangible stuff) letting go, experimenting with my daily sequences and rituals—along with pondering the future dreams I have for myself.
- [future versions …] what are you telling yourself, Braveheart?
- hope and joy as a practice (even when it feels impossible) ❤️
Right brain planning is more about expression and being present and experiments; giving time and energies to our living + processing our emotions + living our dreams.
- It is a means of “getting [it] down on paper” in order to know more about ourselves and the details of our dreams and desires. ❤️
- It is a means of practicing self-compassion and love, acknowledging our limits, and viewing said limits as a launch pad in the direction of our dreams. 🚀✨
“I’m becoming more open to letting things go even when it’s hard. I’m starting to embrace that love can still be at the center of the release.” -Alex Elle
“As we unravel the webs of meaning woven into our emotional habits, a sense of compassion for ourselves can naturally emerge, along with the insights this work reveals.” -Tara Bennett-Golemanave
Braveheart, in order to experience lofty [grand; imaginative] dreams we need daily rituals and an understanding of the various “webs of meaning” within our habits and defaults.
💁🏻♀️ For April, the themes for Ko‑fi resources will be [baby-steps & dailies]. There will be ideas + templates for discerning + discovering the necessary rituals for our well-being.
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.
