Updates on this space and me

Posted on May 20, 2021May 21, 2021 by Bran

Hey there. It’s been a LONG minute. Walk with me?

I have been grappling with what I have to give this community in so many ways. The pandemic and the past couple years have dropped big questions on my doorstep – Where do I find joy online? What do I have consistent energy for? What has worked and what do I keep trying to force? Am I a needed voice in a conversation or are there better voices? Am I the same person who created this space and this discussion about a soulful approach to getting shit done and navigating life?

This is a quick and messy, Patreon-only flip through of my Savor Life planner from early September, and I wanted to share it before doing an update next week after being in it for a month. I have really found my groove with this system!

Enjoying this altar’s evolution. The midpoint is a moment to take a breath, to look around, and recalibrate as able/needed going into our…

Mid-Spring Touchstone

Posted on May 1, 2020May 6, 2021 by Bran

I’ve enjoyed creating an altar that changes, dries up, makes way for new spring blossoms, all of it eventually surrendered to a summer solstice fire when the time comes. Watching it change has offered some grounding.

Mid-Spring Digital Brain Purge

Posted on May 1, 2020May 6, 2021 by Bran

Returning to a bujo, new Fiona Apple, iOS hacks, Netflix parental controls, Animal Crossing, self-destruct websites, social media detoxing, diamond painting, recent worthwhile articles read, and a few other tidbits from a brain in need of purging.

Digital Pandemic Brain Dump: A Needed Purge of an Overloaded Brain, Bujo Style

Posted on April 10, 2020May 6, 2021 by Bran

I’m holding a lot in my head right now and I know the reasons, but sometimes knowing the why isn’t the same as knowing the how of changing it. In the absence of one giant, coherent, life-changing post to offer, I did what helps me on paper when my head is cluttered and I just need to purge: a brain dump. This is an overview of how I’m coping, what I’m thinking, and all the other things I had floating in my brain.

I snagged one of these for cost of shipping recently and took the opportunity to take another look at a planner I haven’t investigated in a while. Passion Planner has been around for a long time and it’s popular, especially with those who have a lot of appointments to manage.

Reclaiming Home Space

Posted on April 4, 2020May 6, 2021 by Bran

Quarantine prompted a reclaiming of a space in my home that is just mine (pics below). I’m fortunate to have the room to do this, and I’m grateful, because it’s turning into a space that keeps me grounded even when I’m not in it, because I know it’s there. I also updated this used cabinet…

Blooming in Complex Times

Posted on April 1, 2020May 6, 2021 by Bran

My cactus is blooming again and it was a lovely surprise this week. Thankful for the space being held weekly in the Soul Circle calls right now. This week’s pages from Boundaries & Protection came together in ways that I’m still digesting and really needed in order to feel more settled in the reality of right now.
