I’ve been reading a book about creating habits ~ and in this book the Author asks the question ‘How do you see your future self?’ ~ what do you see yourself doing, accomplishing, etc. The book dives into your habits and how you can form new habits to become the person you see yourself being ~ your future self.

Anyway…all that to say.

Do you see your future self creating endless Art with a paint stained smock and bluebirds chirping all around you, well, maybe not the bluebirds….but you get the idea. The Author of this book suggests to start creating habits now toward your future self….even if it’s baby steps. You will never reach the ‘bluebirds’ unless you take the first step, create the first habit toward your future.

And….all that to say.

If your future self would like to be a Painter with or without the bluebirds ~ we would love to have you join us on our Journal Journey!

Beginners and Experienced are always welcome (learn more about the process here), begin on any page, or any surface.

Put on your painters smock, call in the bluebirds and let’s get those brushes moving ~create a new habit, your future self will thank you.
