I LOVE to write and you can follow what I’m exploring here on my journal and over on Substack.
Since June 2025, I’ve been journaling daily for two months, and I’ve come to cherish the clarity it brings.
There’s something about the quiet of the morning, reflecting on the day before, that helps me see what life’s teaching me.
My journal’s a space where I explore how those small, sacred moments shape my thoughts and ideas, along with the mundane details of my life too!
I’ve recently started sharing on Substack, where I’m aiming to write with a bit more structure as I connect with the community there. I hope what I share, both here and on Substack, resonates with you in some way.
Finding Peace: Crafting Away Anxiety
There was a time when anxiety felt like hell on earth. My mind spun stories so fast I could barely breathe and my body reacted to my imaginings.
The only thing that quieted the noise in my head was using my hands by shaping metal, stringing beads, and making something real.
Even if it was a horrible design or ugly, it was beautiful to me because I wasn't in a fear state for a blessed amount of time.
The result of my action was tangible and allowed me to see my progress in staying present.
Slowly, the fear loosened its grip and curiosity slipped in to take its place.
And that small shift, turning fear into curiosity, and doing something instead of thinking about the future, or ruminating about the past, changed my life.
The present moment paired with an action is my medicine of choice when it comes to anxiety and fear-based thinking.
Works every time.
