A little bit goes a long way. I didn’t nature journal as much as I normally do this month, though I spent time thinking about nature journaling and preparing for a nature journaling workshop I’ll be doing in early January. My excursions outdoors are shorter in the colder months than they are in warmer seasons and I tend to work quickly in my nature journal with just a pen and water brush. These shorter sprints in my nature journal bring benefits all the same, deepening my curiosity, making new connections, and renewing my sense of belonging and purpose.
