Not everyone publishes these works. Publishing is never required.

Writing by hand changes how we hear, see, and feel through life’s situations and circumstances.

The act of scribbling allows us to find our most authentic selves. When we change on the inside or gain clarity into what we face, we’re free to act from a place of solidity. We reclaim our power and eventually change our circumstances.

Scribbles, and the act of writing by hand, come in various flavors, types, sizes, meanings, intentions, and outcomes.

• Did you write your name today?

• Did you tally a total?

• Did you accidentally leave ink across a surface?

• Did the crayon break?

• Was the charcoal smudged on your hands?

• Did you have to clean any brushes?

• Did you write silently and tuck away the pages for safekeeping?

Will these scribbles give anyone else insight into the true you, for you, at this moment?

Are you starting to see just how powerful this is?
