“Breeze on my butt cheeks” has me CRYING from laughter 😂

I love the stories of the selfless and random acts of kindness that members of this community partake in. It’s a very positive and uplifting energy ❤

Caitlin Doughty is one of my favourite authors. Her YouTube channel is great and I've been lucky enough to have seen one of her talks live & get a book signed. She is a fascinating person & her approach to death & dying is really quite revolutionary.

I was so happy to meet you @ The Chicago Pen Show. Thank you for gifting me the sticker from your shop. I did not want to overwhelm you but I also did not want to miss out on a once in a lifetime chance. ❤

I loved seeing your Hobonichi and your Chicago pen haul. The inks that you got were so beautiful! I don’t know if I have a favorite because they were all so beautiful!!! You have great taste for sure! Thank you for taking the time to share with us. ❤❤❤

I’ve never done a reading journal but this is inspiring….now I need the stamp lol. And to find a journal to use for it.

The vellum tabs on your travel days are darling!

your handwriting is mesmerizing! I love the way the visual texture feels on my optical nerves as my eyes run from one side of the page to the other

Ooooh! That travel doodle would make a FABULOUS washi! 😍

The 'breeze on your bum' was the funniest thing I've heard all week. It made me laugh my socks off 😅😅xx

‘As usual, I wait till it’s unbearable before I get help’ girl, same. For literally everything

Hi Helen love the green cilantro color! Hope you have a great week and hope your dad is on the mend.

Your reading journal is so inspiring! I’m quite behind with mine, but this gave me the motivation I needed to catch up. Thank you for the thorough walkthrough! ❤

I love the map you drew at the top of your weekly page in your Cousin. It reminds me of a board game I play with my kids called "Rivers Roads & Rails".

'she basically goes down a mental spiral' love this said in your calming voice

Helen you are soooooooo cute. I’m sipping coffee in bed and was locked in enjoying the May dailies, I didn’t register that you’d moved months either 😊. My kiddo is poorly so the snuggles and journal updates are awesome.

I loved your little travel header for the week you were at the Chicago Pen Show (in the Hobo Cousin). I liked the colors and the quirky whimsical-ness of it. 😄

Haha when you said you’re loving the “Blobby” style I was in awe because that’s the name of my little character! But anyway, I hope your toe nail situation gets better. I love seeing your journals, thank you for sharing a bit of your life with us, Helen! It’s always appreciated. ❤
