Art is far more powerful than our plans for it. … You’re free to create what you will.

🦋 Braveheart, your story is unfolding … Join me in October and let’s begin “outlining” new chapters. 💢📕📍 After all, {you} are the main character of {your} story. ✍️ It is {yours} to edit and write (and rewrite).
- This summer I was delighted to meet with members from my Ko-fi community and 💢Kaleidoscope Perspectives for one-on-one video sessions. 🖥️💕💻
There were so many the common questions and challenges discussed, but the majority of what we talked about was overwhelm [exhaustion; discouragement] within a cycle of “trying hard, and then giving up.”
What if instead of assuming (and self-loathing because) we see ourselves as giving up again, we self-compassionately hold space where we stopped (paused) — and then simply resume whenever we are ready and able? 🦋
I need reminders that my emotions are not good or bad. They are just information.
Kate Bowler
Our emotions, actions and default responses are not “good” or “bad.” These are merely details of our living — raw data — part of our one-of-a-kind story-unfolding.
Right brain planning is deeming our journals (expression) as our “planners” (dated entries and chronicles of a year-in-the-life): everything is data, information intended to guide, affirm and heal us.
I now understand that to not know where I am going is my only true compass.
Andrea Gibson
Right brain planning is to allow our journal entries (visual expression in words, color, doodles, marks, layers of collage, etc.) to be a sacred space for not-knowing, for blurting and deciphering/translating our “plans” into the dated details of our wishes and desires.
All of this allows us the grace and freedom to curate our thoughts, feelings and desires for the purpose of self-discovery, peace and well-being — and living what matters most to us.
Feel it all. Your habits, feelings and preferences are data that you are free to notice + track. Range and roam, and trust your pace, Braveheart.
- These two oracles from the Secret Message Society 📱 app.
To be in a state of not knowing is to be open and receptive, and to be otherwise is very often to be shut down.

🔮 … your story awaits, Braveheart.
Thank you kindly for your presence here.
I appreciate your interest and support.

2024 Right Brain Planner® Kit [Theme] Kaleidoscope Perspectives ✨ [Focus] — Noticing Beauty (within the kaleidoscope of your living: the ongoing, ever-changing “formations” of color and meaning)
❤️ Braveheart, as the Creator/Artist of Right Brain Planner® I am ever-grateful to have the opportunity to share my creative work online + support other creators! 🎉 For almost 20 years I have had the privilege of sharing my art and writing about right brain planning while also hosting kindred 👭🏽💞👭 communities. ✨ I consider it an absolute delight to continue this portion of my creative work (even as I retire from full-time work).
This is possible, in part, by {you} and your presence here. But also because of the support of my Ko-fi patrons and the other member/subscriber communities I host (via their presence, input and paid subscriptions).
