No thank you, not for me. I would rather avoid it here. But I understand that some might want to explore the intersection of art and politics, so as long as it’s kept contained and I have the choice to avoid it if I wish then I’m OK with it.

Right now my only journaling is a daily bullet journal/habit tracker with a couple of comments on the day, something I’m praying over, and something I’m grateful for and the Morning Pages exercise (a daily brain dump which helps me process the stuff in my head without being too overwhelming). It’s enough for me in this season of life.

My favorite brush pen is the Tombow Fudenosuke. I found it the easiest to learn with and use for small size letters. For larger letters I like the Kuretake Fudebiyori. I haven’t quite had the courage to try pointed pens yet due to the disastrous possibilities of mixing ink with presence of three active, nosy cats in the household! We have recently moved, though, and I do now have a room I can work in that has a door I can close, so I’ll have to try it soon (and maybe put headphones on to drown out the protests because there’s nothing a cat hates more than a closed door).
