Happy New Year! Here are some creative journaling prompts for this month.

If you enjoyed these prompts, you might like expressive arts therapy! Learn more on my website, www.queerarttherapy.com

#winter #journal #journaling #art #writing #queer #arttherapy #lgbtq #newyear

Collect images that inspire you (from magazines or online). Create a vision board collage on paper or digitally of things you want to manifest this year.

What does your ideal day look like? Write a journal entry as if you have just had that day, with as much detail as possible.Next year, read it again and see if anything has changed, or if you have manifested it.

Choose one colour. Create an art piece with only that colour. Does it make you see things differently?

In November, Anto Chan and I had the pleasure of facilitating at Toronto Public Library’s very first youth wellness event. What an inspiration it was!

It was so special to be part of the organizing team at this year’s @biartsfestival 💜 💙 🩷

Thank you to everyone who helped make it happen.

Let’s be bi+ and visible all year round!

Happy fall! 🍂

Change is in the air. Change can be scary, difficult, and sad, but with endings also bring beginnings. At @the519 we created an autumn tree, on the prompt “what change do you want to bring into your life this fall?”
