It’s a dark first week of December, you are stressed about the holidays. Icy rain falls outside. It’s cold, it’s bleak. You are still recovering from Thanksgiving. Sheesh, you are still recovering from the US elections. You feel cooped up, your creativity feels blocked, your body feels bloated, and your mind is going in anxious loops.
But wait! It doesn’t have to be this way. Let’s imagine an alternative scenario…
Your rejuvenating alternative…
Your nature journal is in your lap. Your watercolors are in your hand. The tropical sun is setting on the ocean in front of you. A piña colada sits loyally next to you in the sand. Button mangrove trees arch majestically over you, providing just the right amount of shade and visual accent.
It’s day three of the Nature Journal Beach Vacation and you are getting used to this rhythm. Your pages are filling up with learning, landscape paintings, and botanical sketches. New friendships are being formed with the select group of nature journalers on the trip. The beach-side cabins with their elegant thatched roofs are starting to feel like home. Your creativity is blossoming in this environment. You don’t have to check the news or email. But this trip isn’t just escapism. You are also contributing to citizen science projects, sea turtle conservation, and the spread of nature journaling and a more sustainable type of ecotourism.
Does this sound like how you want to spend the second week of December?
