A couple of my first original drawings (not taught in @eckyo.me’s class)! I thought of this because of a typo I made in an email — though I’m sure I’m not the first — and thought it would be cute to illustrate in #procreate. When I started the class a couple days ago, I was eager to learn how to draw people but drawing food is so much fun!

#whatsfordinner was a point of friction in my home for a while. I used to grimace when asked, "What's for dinner?" and if I didn't have an answer, I'd be flooded by guilt, anger, and frustration, though I didn't know why. While my inner exploration was an important part of resolving the situation, @anielsen's simple change has made dinnertime easy. Link in the bio for his elegant solution to this daily conundrum.
#Love is a funny word.
Last year, I started purging with the #KonMari Method just like I did in 2017. This time, nothing sparked joy when I held it, and everything somehow ended up in the donation bin — even things that I’d previously cherished. Naturally, as we grow and change, what sparks joy for us will also change, but, well, I panicked a little. Link in bio for how I decluttered when the KonMari Method didn't work.
