...everything else is just gathering information.” -Jen Sincero _________________________________ I’ve had to apply this quote (and frankly, @jensincero’s entire book) to my creative journey lately. My fear and insecurity has been keeping me from fully realizing my dream of being a maker/business owner alongside my artistic endeavors. But, even taking the small strides that I have been lately (I will share those with you soon!) has taught me that trial and error is so much better than just not doing it or quitting! So, I guess the point of my Ted Talk today is to empower those like me who are letting fear or imposter syndrome stop them from dreaming big! Gather that intel, do your thing, try and try again, just don’t quit! You got this - I got this - we all got this! ❤️ _________________________________ #selflovetips #selflovethreads #creativelife #selflovefirst #selflovequotes #selflovejourney #selflovematters #selflovemovement #selfloveisthebestlove #mentalhealthquotes #impostersyndrome #mentalhealthwarrior #mentalhealthisimportant #mentalhealthrecovery #mentalhealthadvocacy #letteringadventures #liveauthentically #handlettering #empoweringquotes #loveyourself #girlpower #jensincero #dontquityourdaydream #neverstopdreaming #creativesofinstagram #womenempowerment #empowermentquotes #ladieswhodesign #selfloveclub #youreabadass (at Sacramento, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7bm8ytnt3L/?igshid=19m74cvo6hb0c

I was tagged last month by the lovely @madeofembers (Ashlee) for #instaarttag and forgot to post for the challenge. Here are my four questions, from left to right. . . 1. Whats your favorite piece? Stepping outside of my comfort zone. This piece I actually free-styled my floral and outfit to this small white paper bag. I’m always known for simply lettering names on to gift bags, but this one is my favorite because I decided to take a risk and try something different. Sometimes I think my best work is when I don’t overthink. . 2. The piece with the best story? I tried to think really hard, before answering this question. But, I selected it tells many stories of the people in my city that were affected by Hurricane Harvey. It tells of a story of heartbreak, loss, fear, victory, triumphant, heroism, joy, kindness, love, faith, peace, and, strength. This piece was auction off and the proceeds were donated to the Houston Relief fund. . 3. The piece with my favorite colors? Kraft & Black has always been a favorite of mines. 🖤 . 4. Your most popular item? My personalized gift bags. The Kraft & Black is actually my customer’s favorite. Along with some others, Metallic Gold & White, Pink & Gold, and Navy Blue & Silver. . . Tagging a some friends to join along, @fulfillhispurpose @theadornedfox @designed.by.anne @lefty.script @ingkstudio @mikala.designs @colormyworldbeautiful . #lovetistrue #thisismystory #letteringadventures #calligraphylove #personalizedfavors #goldfoil

Be authentically you, and don’t dwell on trying to be perfect - it’s such a waste of time and energy! ______________________________________ More than anything, I need to remind myself of this, but is there anyone else out there that struggles with this too? 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️ Just yesterday I was feeling inadequate, like I was treading water at work. I felt like I couldn’t get ahead and OF COURSE that was because I wasn’t doing enough and wasn’t a perfect employee like I should be! 🤦‍♀️ Thanks to my coworkers, I started to see the cracks in my logic. I decided that I’m taking on too much work at work and trying to control everything, which is never a healthy thing to do. Being authentic, knowing my strengths as well as my weakness, not trying to do it all - these are things that I need to be doing! Life is about experience and living your own truth, so don’t let your sense of self get wrapped up into just one aspect of your life like I have been! Try new things, break out of your shell and live as authentically as you can WHILE you can! Then, the notion of needing to be perfect will only be an insignificant footnote on your long journey in this world. 👍❤️ ______________________________________ I made this piece with the help of Dina at @lettershoppe’s Black letter workbook. Slide to see a video where I’m using it to work my lettering skillz! ➡️ ______________________________________ #selflovetips #selflovethreads #selfloveclub #selflovefirst #selflovequotes #selflovejourney #selflovematters #selflovemovement #selfloveisthebestlove #mentalhealthquotes #mentalhealthtips #mentalhealthwarrior #mentalhealthisimportant #mentalhealthrecovery #mentalhealthadvocacy #letteringadventures #liveauthentically #nooneisperfect #pobodysnerfect #handlettering #empoweringquotes #loveyourself #tbt #girlpower #womenempowerment #selfcarethreads #empowerment #ladieswhodesign #selflove #feminism @womenofillustration (at Sacramento, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5LWdY2nqvL/?igshid=15drwmxwbgen6

Are you so stuffing thankful for anything? I know that I am! 🙋🏼‍♀️ ______________________________________ I wanted to do a little Thanksgiving piece that focuses not only on one of my favorite Thanksgiving meal staples, but also uses puns and allows me the opportunity to tell you what grateful for this year! So, if you ever needed you know what I love about my little life, here’s a list! ______________________________________ * My husband and Gus. * My family. * My friends (you know who you are!) * The fact that I’m an empath (it’s a curse sometimes, but overall, a very big blessing.) * Our new home that we moved into this year. * My body (even with its flaws, it’s pretty cool.) * Butter. * The experiences I’ve had throughout my life that have shaped me into who I am today. * I’ve tagged some of my favorites in this piece too! 👀 ______________________________________ I also wanted to share with you a bit of my process with this piece. I used the Painter’s Script workbook from @lettershoppe for the lettering. I always trace and then freeform draw out the lettering and then transfer that to my piece. It makes it’s easier for me to have a reference close because I’m still new at this style! Hope you enjoy and have a great Thanksgiving as well! ❤️ ______________________________________ #happythanksgivng #thanksgiving #thankful #thanksgivingdinner #thanksgiving🦃 #thanksgivingtablescape #thanksgivingfood #ladieswhodesign #illustratorsoninstagram #editorialillustration #foodillustrations #gratefuleveryday #gratefullheart #happyheart #greatful #selfcareideas #mentalhealthrecovery #mentalhealthcare #mentalhealthadvocacy #selfcarepage #selfcarelove #selfcareaccount #selfcaresis #selfcarefirst #selfcareday #selfcaredaily #selfcarematters #selfcarethread #letteringadventures @womenofillustration @ladieswhodesign (at Sacramento, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5YVs_HnjPU/?igshid=stviqn6kgtb6
