Journaling Helps... Give It A Try!


YOUR STORY ISN'T OVER YET!

Mental health journal for the person who is in recovery, practicing self-care or just needs to express themselves. A great gift for the Mental Health Warriors! Pour out your thoughts and feelings and in reflection, see the progress you are making on your unique journey. "Your Story Isn't Over Yet" is printed across the cover.
Swirling shapes, colors and overlapping lines create a meditative rhythm that can lift your spirits — like stained glass caught in a slow tide. The teals and purples in the semi-colon embedded at the center represent suicide awareness, Can you see it? Click here to see in my web store!

Important: The semicolon (;) symbolizes mental health awareness, suicide prevention, and the continuation of life, representing a sentence the author could have ended but chose not to. Popularized by Project Semicolon, it signifies that the wearer's story is not over, highlighting strength in battling depression, addiction, and self-harm. This is a good way to start that "awkward" conversation for someone who is struggling. A portion of the profits for this item goes to the 988 Crisis Line.

This hardcover journal carries a calm, artful presence—hand-painted swirls of bold colors and a teal and purple semi-colon weave across a matte cover while a gentle message peeks through the design. It opens flat thanks to case-wrap binding and 150 lined pages give you space for daily notes, reflections, or unfolding ideas. The perforated sheets let you share a page without fuss. Light, durable, and quietly expressive, it slips into a bag for a coffee shop session or waits on your nightstand for late-night thoughts.

Suicide Awareness & Prevention Art 1


This is a painting I did a little over a year ago. The inspiration came from my history of surviving many suicide attempts. The colors were chosen specifically because teal and purple are the colors for suicide awareness and prevention. There is a purple and teal semi-colon embedded in the design. The semicolon (;) symbolizes mental health awareness, suicide prevention, and the continuation of life, representing a sentence the author could have ended but chose not to. Popularized by Project Semicolon, it signifies that the creator's story is not over, highlighting strength in battling depression, addiction, and self-harm. This is a good way to start that "awkward" conversation with someone who is struggling. I have been told that the style is chaotic. I use this technique to show the beautiful chaos of recovery in what I call "an ecstatic collision of color". This is my favorite technique and you will probably see signs of this in most of my art. Click on the image to go to my web store to purchase the digital download version or print of this piece. There are also teddy bears, t-shirts, and more with this on artwork on it. A portion of the profits for these items go to The Mental Health Association of Oklahoma.
