When started teaching myself lettering with a gell When started teaching myself lettering with a gelly roll pen on a card table, I didn’t know then what a creative hobby would bring into my life. Teaching, workshops, connection, creativity, and most importantly hearing the stories of how lettering has made a positive impact in peoples’ lives. All of these good things came into my life from simply deciding to start something new, making a commitment not to stop when it didn’t look perfect. I hope today I can encourage you just to start something creative. You never know where it might lead, and how it might impact your life! ✨ Only 24 hours left to join the #laurenheimletteringclub!

Happy first day of spring! 🌸 When the days beco Happy first day of spring! 🌸 When the days become sunnier and longer, my SAD (seasonal depression) gradually starts to lift. I start slowly feeling like myself again. Anyone else relate to this feeling? 🙋‍♀️ I remember, “oh that’s what it feels like to feel happier and more creative!” Sunshine and warmer weather, please stay forever. We have been waiting for you. ☀️ #spring #handlettering #watercolor #sad #anxiety #creative
Allow me to tell you a story about a time the shoe Allow me to tell you a story about a time the shoe (boot) just didn’t fit. 🎿 Andrew and I left home for a short staycation to Michigan this week, where we stayed in the most beautiful cabin. Andrew was really excited to try skiing, and I reluctantly agreed to try a lesson and some bunny slopes with him. Turns out to my embarrassment: my calves were too wide for the boots. Even with braces in the sixth grade I’ve had thick calves and thighs. That’s just the way God made me. Boots #1 (and attempt #2) felt like my circulation was being cut off. I couldn’t even walk to the lifts, much less ski. Surely there have been others that came before me with wide calves, too? Lots of money was wasted, and I walked away really frustrated and frankly, embarrassed. I thought at 31 I’d feel really comfortable in my own skin, and this kind of thing wouldn’t throw me off. But I’m still learning to be comfortable with my body, and with where I am in my career, childless in my 30s, with anxiety, a health condition and just a general feeling of fitting in in the world. I don’t have a nice and tidy bow to tie up this story with, other than: it is perfectly okay to not feel like you fit in, and it’s okay to not fit in the boots. If you have ever been in a situation where something didn’t fit, or worse, YOU felt like you didn’t fit... I see you. So for now I move on, and maybe give skiing another try on another day. Or I just move on and accept and love the things that fill me up. Like hiking, and beautiful views of Lake Michigan, and reading by the fire. Oh and trying those local bakery treats, because you can bet I won’t be missing out on those. ♥️
