Kiddo Collaboration

Greetings fellow steemians. Sometimes I wait until my youngest takes her nap and instead of trying to convince Roselle my three year old, that a nap is what she needs, I spend some time doodling with her. Above is our collaborative doodle in my journal which I think turned out pretty well. She loved the color purple. It's nice to do something peaceful with her that we both enjoyed.

Allow Yourself

This is a doodle I made after my daughter was done collaborating with me. Often times I think of the daily tasks I've been falling behind on and I often just shut down and feel like since I failed on accomplishing simple daily tasks that I shouldn't be enjoying myself. Then I remember that life isn't about the checklists, the ideals. It's about living in the moment, and allowing yourself those moments. When I feel like nothing around me makes sense, I do something that makes sense to me. That reminds me not to take life so seriously. My best friend once told me "Worrying too much is just as bad as not worrying enough." And I immediately fell in love with that saying. It was like instantly the pressure to perform faded away. And her and I at the time we're supposed to be working on our school work, but we just sat there doodling. My mind found peace in that moment and I will always remember to take that time for myself. Namaste 🌸
