Wreck This Journal Chew, Lose or Vlog

Wreck This Journal Chew, Lose or Vlog GUYS! GUYS!    ITS MY 200TH POST! Holy crapballs thats a lot. I wanted to arrange for it to rain balloons streamers ice cream cake in the homes of all my readers, but I just didnt have the time. So,  I picked a  new, exciting,  awesomely awesome way to celebrate   a   video of me! Talking chewing paper! At the end of this post! Its just like ice cream cake, right? Right? Right. Im getting so into the book, its been kinda sorta taking over my life. In addition to all the pages you see below ( the video! Eek!), I have started 3 or 4 more pages that arent quite done yet. I am loving this process am constantly thinking about what I can use for the book while out about in the world. Im also taking the Perfectionism Vampire punching him in the face, while embracing my inner 6 year old allowing myself to play for playing sake. This group is filled with amazing artists, while I love seeing their creative, beautiful, inspiring work I have found that Im not comparing myself to them anymore (as in They know what theyre doing/are amazing I dont/am sucky). My pages are my pages. Theyre there as a showcase of me, if they arent as creative or beautiful or inspiring as the real live artists in the group, wellthey are, because theyre mine. Its a really nice feeling, letting go of this competitive streak while allowing the pages of others to inspire me. The big disappointment this week is that my journal wrecking date at the High Line with Magpie this week was canceled due to the rain. I read in an article dated June 19th that NYC has gotten double the amount than usual, the month was still 11 days from ending! Im putting my sights on July for Magpie + When I Grow Up wreckage! So, without further adieu, the damage for the week: Notice the end all the way at the top? Thats when my pen decided to commit page suicide: Yes, I believe I will have a hunchback by the time I turn 40. I always carry a ridiculously heavy bag with me: Bye, page! Hope a nice Mets fan going to Citi(Taxpayers) Field on the LIRR will find you give you a good home: These were the remains of some When I Grow Up postcards that I cut up. I used the white parts to make a sunny day (left, yes, thats a boat in the water birds in the sky) a rainy day (which it was at the time, not surprisingly!). The heart was there prior to the sunny day/rainy day idea I just kept it, even though rainy days can suck it right now. I also love the idea that something from my coaching is in my book. It adds some love between the pages: Inspired by Keri Smiths Touch Map, I traced my hand then filled it in with everything I remembered touching so far that day: But this is the motherload, people. I know that I didnt walk the journal as promised (feel free to call me out on it I have a ton of excuses but not really a good one), so I created a video of me chewing on paper to make it up to you. Yes, its my first vlog post! That still totally counts as doing something scary (both vlogging eating paper), so hopefully Ill be off the hook for not doing my journal walking this week. Here you go: enjoy! Eek! Wreck This Journal: Chew Here from WhenIGrowUpCoach on Vimeo This was gonna be where I ended the post, until I realized ITS MY 200TH POST! Holy crapballs thats a lot. I wanted to arrange for it to rain balloons streamers ice cream cake in the homes of all my readers, but I just didnt have the time. So, the video above a   new, exciting, scary frontier will be the celebration! Its just like ice cream cake, right? Right? Right.
