I am finishing up some work (though also have some picture book roughs to do over the holidays, but not as crazy amounts as I had last Christmas) today and then intend to carve out some time before the New Year to do my annual deep self-reflection and come up with my word/theme. I am really looking forward to it! I always try to pick words or themes that can apply to all areas of my life in different ways, or that have multiple interpretations. And I really want to hand (and actual hand, not Apple Pencil) letter it this year and put it up near my desk, because I think when I have done that it's embedded much more than just writing a blog post and drawing a digital illustration to accompany it.

How about doing some more “does it spark joy?” and continuing the journey of cleaning my life from the past so that I can enjoy the now to be clean to create my future.

I love the coffee house description! ❤️ My theme for 2023 is Share. Sharing more of my work, my process, my successes, my struggles and my knowledge. Cheers to the start of a new year!

My theme would be ‘to comprehend’. a constant journey through and beyond the unexplored segments of our lives
