Unplugging & ✌🏻 out!
.
Hey all 👋🏻. I’m away in the mountains this week so I’m unplugging (aka deleting my social apps from my phone) so that I can refresh and be present for a bit. Stay tuned for some photos and such when I get back. In the meantime, love you all, stay well & remember to wear a mask & vote!
.
Sending love! 💋 Nicole Lynn

Monday morning journaling.
.
I’ve been relatively successful with my bullet journal this year which I’ve been super proud of. I decided to just make my bujo work the way I wanted it to — aka no real “creative spreads”; lists + journaling & not using it as a “planner” have all allowed me to use it more and more each month. I also gave up on habit trackers since I was never good and keeping them. Everything is super minimal but I love it & it works for me.
.
Do you have a bulletin journal? How do you use it?

Reminiscing about getaway trips with friends! I cannot wait to start booking some trips again. I’m having some travel withdrawal & hoping to maybe book a long weekend Fall getaway, but only if it’s safe. In the meantime I hope you & yours are safe! Remember to wear a mask!
.
Do you have any getaway plans?

Funny faces because it’s the weekend!
•
On my to-do:
-planning for the blog
-shoot some photographs
-read
-relax
-start planning my packing for my up-coming getaway (to a house in the woods aka extreme social distancing lol)
•
Remember to try & find some joy in these stressful times, even if that’s making fun of yourself for a laugh. I’m always working on self love & not being “serious” all the time (hence this photo). Every day is different, but keeping on the journey is what counts!
•
Love you all exactly as you are!

Happy 4th of July! . Times are tense and stressful

Happy 4th of July!
.
Times are tense and stressful right now. I hope this weekend we can all take some time to rest & enjoy (safely!).
.
With that said, I hope we also take some time to pause & reflect. I am so grateful to live in this country where I have freedoms many don’t—but not all of us are equal yet. Let’s continue learning, working & fighting for equality in this country. Also, let us remember how America came to be & whose lives & livelihoods were sacrificed along the way.
.
Also, a HUGE thank you to my @funkyfrets fam & my Great Aunt Rose for making this awesome wreath!
.
Sending love, gratitude & peace to you all today!

From soccer coach to beer buddy...thanks Dad for always being there for me through the years!💕

Thanks for helping me with school projects and emailing me everyday while I studied abroad. Thanks for watching after my cats while I was in Boston for grad school and for introducing me to vinyl! Thanks for driving me places when I’m tired or sick or not feeling it. Thanks for everything! You’re truly the best! Cheers!

Listening. Learning. & Amplifying the voices that need to be heard.

Thank you to @blackandembodied & @jessicawilson.msrd for this challenge. I will be muting all non BIPOC in my feed this week so if I’m not engaging with your posts this is why. Thank you.

Black Lives Matter. . I’ve been struggling with

Black Lives Matter.
.
I’ve been struggling with what exactly to say. I’m not quite sure, really. But I do know that I cannot be silent & I cannot stay still.
.
Things I am doing (& you can to):
.
1. Educating myself about how to be anti-racist & committing to continually doing this throughout my life. I’m doing this through books (both fiction & nonfiction) mainly since that’s a format I explore through, but I’m also seeking out articles, films & podcasts as well as following a lot of people on Twitter.
.
2) Donating to different organizations like the Philadelphia Bail Fund & Reclaim the Block (see links in photos).
.
3) Committing to calling out racism when I see it come from family, friends, & other white people as well as committing to having the conversations about racism & systemic racism.
.
4) Reaffirming my commitment to make sure any library I work at has a diverse collection & intentionality including diverse books in any program or book display or book list I do for the library.
.
5) Supporting black creatives & business owners whenever I can.
.
.
I cannot say how sorry I am that you, our Black brothers & sisters, are going through this yet again as you have for over 400 years, but I am here with you, I see you.
.
I’m just going to end with some quotes from Jason Reynolds from a keynote I virtually attended earlier this week:
.
“No one gives you a cookie for being a 'good' person. If you want to do it right, learn how to listen....Your cowardice is killing people."
.
“There is no finish line to being anti-racist; we should be striving in each moment to be anti-racist.”
.
“Just because you're a good person doesn't mean you don't have things about you that need deconstructing."
.
Also, I’ve been sharing resources in my stories & saving them under a BLM highlight.
.
