Currently August 2023

August was a busy month. Most importantly, my baby STARTED HIGH SCHOOL!!!!

For my August pages, I used my Leo collage kit.  Here’s a timelapse video of me working through my pages! 

 

I always seem to use orange in August.

Watching:

I’ve been watching a lot of YouTube lately for research. As you can see with my Mom, I’ve been more in output mode than input! I need a legit vacation! 

Reading:

I read through Thriving as an Empath and Simple Abundance when I need a pick-me-up/something to motivate me throughout the day. 

Thinking About:

  • The next year
  • my future
  • taking a vacation
  • taking a break from being online 

Listening To:

Glad to have this in the mix. 

A good pump jam.

For the Leos this month. 

Working this back in the mix. 


 

On repeat:

Dream Life:

Got pretty crazy around the Blue Moon. Whoa!!  I am not getting enough sleep as per usual. Womp womp.
