November 2025
inside my Currently Workbook!
Let’s process November!
Here are my pages from my Currently Workbook for November. You can watch them unfold in this video below and see how I processed my grief.
For my spread, I used a combination of colored pencils, pens, and photos I printed out from my thermal printer and regular printer.
(You can see my favorite journaling supplies on Amazon here)

CURRENTLY NOVEMBER!

All my tiny little joys for November:
I track a daily Tiny Little Joy thanks to The Joy Reset in my Hobonichi cousin planner in the monthly calendar.
Let’s get into it!
Lots of art this month! Went on a photo adventure in San Francisco with friends (see above). Shot a roll of black & white film. I have to get it developed! I lost it for a bit.
We had fun with a projector! I love my photo friend club!
Instagram reels inspired a paper chain obsession.
I had friends over to make paper chains & garlands with old books.
I made affirmation cards for my friend Diane.
Family adventure to Napa on a Sunday.
This month, during Practice Pages (my Zoom call with paid subscribers), we created a collaborative gratitude list. I’ve loved getting to know/connecting with my online community.
I also FINALLY shared all of my tracking tools this month.

I can't wait to start on my new book! I've been working on my setup, meditating on my word for 2026 and how that looks for me and those around me, and committed to learning and growing... Well, being brave enough to learn and grow. And even the grief of losing your mother is so touching, as my father left me three years ago in October. Grief man! It's hard. Anyway, all that to say thank you! Your work, art, and posts are like having a friend who makes you feel less alone in the world. <3
This was such a fun post to scroll through! I loved all the notebook pics but seeing your inspo too. It felt like a beautiful collection of time and bits of how your brain works.
