Calm the Noise
One small stroke of color can calm the noisiest things.
Who I made this for
"Maybe you're holding this for someone too — a daughter, a friend, a version of you."
from the song Full Circle →
I made this for the woman in a busy season. The one carrying more than she can say out loud.
You don't need to be artistic. You don't need a plan. You need a few quiet minutes and something to do with your hands.
What you'll find inside
"Some pages hold a fire and friends"
"Some hold a mountain trail that bends"
"Some just a candle and a cup of tea"
What else is in there
Reflection prompts
Questions to sit with, not to answer perfectly
Paint-by-number
For days when you want the decisions made for you
Tracing pages
Breathe in, breathe out, follow the line
BETWEEN THE LINES — THE WORDS
There's a page that's just for me tonight
No deadline waiting, no wrong or right
I trace the petals, I fill the sky
However slow, I take my time
Between the lines is where I land
A little color in my hand
No need to rush the whole design
I find myself between the lines
Some pages hold a fire and friends
Some hold a mountain trail that bends
Some just a candle and a cup of tea
Every color's a piece of me
Between the lines is where I land
A little color in my hand
No need to rush the whole design
I find myself between the lines
Some days I color the sky just because I want it blue
Some days I barely finish a page, and that's alright too
It isn't about the picture, it's about the peace it brings
One small stroke of color can calm the noisiest things
Between the lines is where I land
A little color in my hand
No need to rush the whole design
I find myself, I find my time
Between the lines
Between the lines…
Between the lines…
There's more music inside the book
A page with a QR code, and a playlist I wrote to color to — with words on the days you want them, and without on the days you don't.
More books are in the works.
Sign up and you'll be the first to hear about new titles — and once a month I'll write to you about where I'm at and what I'm working on.
A short note from me once a month. Leave whenever you like.
