Currently August 2022
Birthday month was a busy one!
I sold out of my Magic Kits in the same day I released them (on my birthday!). (THANK YOU!!!) I had been dreaming of doing this for a long time and I’m so happy with how it all turned out. Seeing them in your hands (thank you for sending pictures!) has been very gratifying. I’ll be putting more in my shop soon. Just waiting on some more supplies. I send an email out to my subscribers first. Subscribe here!
August was filled with family visits and sleepovers. I also worked on a lot of healing. August usually brings up a wave of grief because it’s hard to see another year without my Mom. She sent me so many good signs on my birthday and I felt so blessed with the love that I received. I feel grateful for the people in my life who make things feel as special as she did.
Here’s what my spread looked like in my Currently Workbook.
I printed out photos and colored on them.
I just used Tombow brush pens to color everything in.
I haven’t really shared this much cuz I didn’t want to jinx it but I’ve been actively moving my body for at least 20 minutes (mostly more) for the past few months. My printable month calendar has helped!
Let’s break it down!
