What if your beliefs aren't true?

The Journaling Muse – Issue #21 From Limiting Beliefs to Empowering Affirmations A soft space to reflect, reconnect, and create with feeling. Dear Reader, I’ve been painting for over a decade—yet for years, I hesitated to call myself an artist. Why? Because deep down, I carried quiet but powerful beliefs about what it means to be one.

My intention is to help you slow down and soothe your nervous system — through colour, texture, and expressive journaling that speaks gently to your inner world. Not long ago, I stood in a gallery in Warsaw, watching Andrea Fraser’s short films.

Create your next chapter from the inside out

The Journaling Muse – Issue #16: Your Inner Seasons A soft space to reflect, reconnect, and create with feeling. Dear Reader, There are seasons in nature—and seasons within us. Lately, I’ve found myself in a quiet kind of spring. Not the bright bloom of instant change, but something deeper: a shift in the soil. A re-rooting. For the past two weeks, I’ve been immersed in Dr. Joe Dispenza’s meditations—softly but steadily transforming. His work invites us to become aware of unconscious habits,...

Messy art journaling table

Why I always had paint on my forehead?

The Journal Muse #12: Permission to Be Messy Let go of perfection. Invite in freedom. Dear Reader, When I first started painting in an art studio, I was always the one with paint on my forehead, on my fingertips, even in my hair. I looked around and saw others somehow staying clean and composed. So I tried to stay tidy too—more focused, more contained. But the moment I dipped into the flow, I forgot everything. Even my coffee sat untouched, cooling beside me. It turns out, mess is my...

Where joy goes, creativity follows

The Journal Muse #11: A Date With Your Creative Self Reconnect with your inner artist through joy, curiosity, and a little time just for you. Dear Reader, Sometimes, unlocking your creativity doesn’t happen on the page—it happens when you’re walking in the woods with no destination. Or buying a ridiculous stuffed animal just because it made you smile. Or sitting in a café with a book and nowhere else to be. This week, I want to invite you to something gentle, powerful, and possibly a little...
