1. What inspired you to begin nature journaling? I began nature journaling as part of my journey through healing from trauma (a decade of domestic abuse). There is something about being present in nature and observing details closely and understanding that we are all part of a bigger picture that instills hope and possibility and that is no small thing when your mind is filled with anxiety and worry and always overactively scanning your environment for perceived threats. Nature journaling is grounding and inspiring and so good for our mental health. 2. Now that you’ve heard from several other journalers about their processes, and had a peek at their journals, which ideas or approaches do you want to try? I love the idea of recording time, place and weather. In the past, I've just jotted down the date but the extra details bring the memory alive so much more. I will also keep using watercolor, as I love it.   3. Do you have a different journaling idea, not mentioned here, that you’d like to share? I'd love to bring in the art of hand lettering and practice decorative lettering in combination with nature observations.
