For whatever reason, this past week I was not at all “in sync” with my morning pages. I may have completed two days at most, which was pretty surprising, but not in a good way. Hopefully, this week will be a little easier.

For this week’s Detective Work exercise, some of my answers were:

- My favorite childhood toys were my Jem dolls.

- The best movie I ever saw as a kid was The Nightmare Before Christmas (I’m sure this is’t 100% accurate but it was off the top of my head).

- If it weren’t too late, I’d like to learn to play the piano.

- My favorite musical instrument is my own voice.

- If I weren’t so stingy with my artist, I’d buy her a medium format camera.

- Taking time out for myself is an absolute must.

- If I’d had a perfect childhood, I’d have grown up to be less independent and strong-willed. Thank goodness for not having the  “perfect” childhood.

- My most cheer-me-up music is something that changes on a frequent basis. Currently it’s the song Private Radio by Vanessa Carlton.

- My favorite way to dress is comfy, casual, and classic. Nothing too trendy.

Five traits I liked about myself as a child: Carefree, playful, sassy, truthful, and outgoing

Artist Date:

Earlier on Monday I was shopping with my mom for new shoes and happened to come across a pair of flats that I instantly fell in love with. I don’t usually swoon over shoes, but this particular pair I immediately loved. After my mom’s visit, I slipped on my new shoes simply because of how they made me feel. Maybe it’s their bright colors, but just wearing them inside the house caused me to feel a little quirky but carefree at the same time. (Yeah, who knew shoes could do that?)

Without much thought, I set up shop at my desk and began art journaling, finally incorporating new elements and mediums into my latest spread. For the first time in a long while, I finally completed a page without over thinking and analyzing every detail. Dare I say that it’s probably one of my new favorite pages?

What I found to be a bit amusing was that I completed my journaling all while wearing my new shoes.
