Follow up n°13 to "Illustrated Life Journal: A Daily Mindful Practice" : December 2022

Another month in my sketchbook since I took Kate Sutton's course and started illustrated journaling !

I love this special moment when I sit to draw a page, and missing one isn't an option, I've really got into the habit. It follows me outside of the drawing per se too as I often stop a second to notice a feeling, a story, a song, a special kitten event, that I would like to remember and share.

I can only hope that you understand the potential of this practice and that you have given it a try <3
