How good it is to wake up knowing you're happy. That life isn't still being created and now you're doing stuff just for fun. Just for the plot. That's what abundance is. Abundance is having filled your life up so much that you don't know what to do with the rest. It's beautiful to know, just knowing in and of itself. How you get to see you. How you get to bloom and branch. That you're in a place where your nail color matches how you're feeling. That you're in the mood to cook

I'm directed and I'm here. Life is factually beautiful. I keep seeing evidence of that. Evidence of a healthy root system. They're thick and intertwined. To say anything different is a lie. When what I'm granted and what I choose coalesce .... that is alignment, that is continuity. Witnessing other stories, being invested in their plot, God agreeing with what you deserve, Being directed, an agent in your own body. The embarrassment of vulnerability alchemizing into openness,

7/16/26 When I first got really into journaling, I would hand write a lot. Now, I'm more interested in typing. I think that is because of my growth in awareness. I like seeing different colors, handwriting changes and other non-journaled communication in my journal. Now, I feel like I can intuit that. I also hardly write things that aren't shareable. I love writing on my blog. So maybe my journaling is evolving from physical personal journaling with a signaling system build i

Agency is making a deliberate choice with your whole self. Integrity is the will to adhere to your values. Agency is your ability to adhere to those values. Ability. Not discipline. Ability. Exercising your agency is making a deliberate choice. And I said choice. I didn't say the "right" choice or best choice. Simply a choice. I didn't say the "right" or best choice because it is a choice you make with your whole self. Not your "higher-self" or "most authentic self" or the s

Is it an analogy or is it just how learning works? You know what's funny about a journaling practice that has become meta? Analogies are everything. They're everything in learning and everything in growth. Schemas are nothing but analogies. Without analogies, our learning would the absorbing of isolated facts. Instead, we group things with their likes. To utilize our different groups together (synthesis) we find associations between them, connections, or opportunities for the

I've went back and read my own entries. I've been thinking about why I am no longer attached to my old journals . I plan on using their pages to create art pieces where I once would have done everything I can to protect them. Why? I know this is a shift for me. You don't just go from being protective over source material to just seeing it as art. Why is it a droste now? Why did it shrink? Why do I feel like I'm a staircase above it? Growth ⇄ Expansion Growth is upward, exp

Love 3/5/26 I can't call the feeling positivity It looks like memories, upcoming and past, with my family and friends. It's understanding that the people that are in life with us right now, all the strangers, are our life partners. They are the people who are living in this current period with us right now... They aren't nobody. They aren't strangers or distant, they are sharing a Now with us. It's not confidence that I feel, it is knowing. This isn't joy that I feel, it is r

Though I do advocate for the forming of your own, unique journaling ventures, I cannot have my own journaling philosophy without a "story" to anchor it in. The philosophy is in the connections between what I learned. The recurring themes that resurface and connect my journals is what my philosophy is based on. No rules, habits or "supposed-tos". I tracked the happenstance that was already governing my journals and acknowledged them as law. Awareness came first. I practiced be

Arrival is the feeling of "alignment". It is noticing that you are living in accordance with your values. Compare this to living for you goals...
