visual journaling surprise

Took a nice walk in the rain with my friend the other day and played with visual journaling at the KEXP Gathering Space. It was fun to spread out magazines and supplies, watch the disco ball (!!) spinning, and watch what came up which was this little visual journaling surprise!

Making fun of capitalism is one of my favorite parts of collaging due to the nature of advertising. There was an ad with a womxn dressed in yoga clothes with a bunch of jewelry on. I still don’t know what the ad was actually for but I got a laugh from my friend a random dude sitting next to us so that was a win for me.

I think this little entry was one of all-time favorite mini-collages. Art-making makes me happy. Fortunately, I’ll be doing even more of it since my daughter got me a bunch of canvases for the Solstice and I won $100 from Dick Blick! My order will arrive next week. SQUEE! 🦄✨

Join me on Patreon for behind-the-scenes peeks into my creative process and The Luscious Chronicles.

What about you? Making any art in 2020? Drop a comment below. I’d love to hear about it.

I want to be alive with you

Kymberlee della Luce booed up. — Me today all booed up with myself.

I want to be alive with you: Me reading a selection from Tokopa Turner’s book “Belonging” for your soul and mine. May it bless you.

This piece says everything about what I want (and have) in community. In my relationships. In my work. And what I offer folx.

After a couple of years of strange relationship dynamics, what I know for sure is I have some really loyal and dear folx in my life and I’m so grateful.

And especially I have a spectacular relationship with myself. I like being my own soul mate. In 2019, I left behind relationships steeped in gender roles the way I left behind gender essentialism in 2018.

I have so much more to say about how much pain binary/nuclear family/heteronormative BS has hurt me in my life. But for now, I just want to celebrate being alive. With you.

Big love in 2020 and beyond, lovelies.

staying with the flow

Today’s love note is all about staying with the flow of the river of life. I almost said “in the flow” but that’s a given. We’re in the flow whether we like it or not. When we stay with it though, it’s much nicer. Have a listen! The tea I’m sipping on in the recording is Creamy Earl Grey from Marketspice. No affiliate thing. Just yummy so I’m sharing. There is, of course, a wee song (that I forget the lyrics to, my trademark apparently).

I’ve brought these weekly recordings back to the blog for everyone because I didn’t like the way it the Patreon integration looked and too many bells and whistles slows down my site. Also, it’s fun that Google is picking these up at “podcasts”. If people benefit from them, that’s fabulous. My patrons on Patreon will get their own, private recording each week instead.

There’s still time to grab the sale price on my new e-course, we can do hard things (with ease). It’s on sale through December 21st and drops on December 31st.

Have you signed up for my newsletter yet? Every Tuesday, I put forth interestingness, news and sometimes free gifts. It’s the best way to stay connected to my work in these digitally shifting times. Thanks for being here.

I happily accept and invite donations to support my work if you are so moved. 💖

the truth of the happiness of womxn

In this week’s episode, I’m talking about the truth of the happiness of womxn inspired by this article by Aubrey Hirsh, singing you a song about truth, and reading from Women Who Run With the Wolves by Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes.

I read from her chapter on “Coming Home” and about cutting away what is superfluous to make space for new beginnings. In making these love notes available only to my Patreons and creating my class We Can Do Hard Things (with ease), I am doing just that. I hope this inspires you to get closer to you own truth and live it out freely.

Thank you for being here, listening, and supporting my work. I’m grateful. EnJOY!

embracing mystery and getting paid

In this week’s unscripted audio love note, I discuss embracing mystery and getting paid, being and feeling supported by my Patreon folx and creating a container for my work. I also draw a card from one of decks and what that means to me. Also a song (kind of).

After listening, feel free to share below what it means to YOU. I would love to hear from you.

xo,

Kymberlee

PS, I chose this picture because it was a moment of me embracing mystery. I took to bus to have breakfast with a friend and decided to get off the bus early and go off the beaten path. I was trying to take a picture of the frost grassy and ended up seeing that tiniest of mushrooms. So adorable!
