Motivational Monday 6.23.25

Today’s Motivational Monday video was all about showing up—with whatever you have, however you feel—and letting that be enough.

Sometimes we come to the page with energy and inspiration. Other times, we come with questions, with overwhelm, or with just enough spark to begin. Either way, that moment of showing up is powerful. It’s a quiet act of self-trust.

In this week’s mixed media journal page, I didn’t have a clear plan. I started with a messy background—scraped paint, collage scraps, colors I wasn’t sure about. But as I worked, I realized: this is the magic. The layers that feel chaotic at first are actually full of meaning. They carry pieces of our mood, our memories, and our message.

This process reminded me that progress doesn’t have to be polished. We don’t need to know the outcome. We just need to take one step, make one mark, and let the rest unfold.

So here’s your invitation: grab your journal, paint, or whatever tools speak to you today. Don’t worry about perfection. Just honor where you are, right now. Let the page hold your truth.
