Reciprocity~ WildlyMindful Things4U

A Post for Patrons

“Authentic reciprocity cannot live on the assumption that everyone and everything follow the same recipe to be nourished.

[..]

humans in relationship with each other have the capacity to gift each other safe passage through the lands of life. Herein lie the seeds of Peace.”

Life Is Fascinating

I was this many years old when I realized
I can still be surprised by the odd little way that
things click into place.
The energy in a room full of people
has a sudden visceral shift
you just know
is bigger than any individual.

Suddenly, strangers unite in an
anticipatory inhale
waiting to see what happens next...
Awareness is not always awe inspiring,
but Wonder cannot happen
if you aren't paying attention.

The ones who don't see it
may judge you
for your willingness
to witness
and
celebrate
Wonder.

Let them.

Eventually,
They, too, will discover
We were never strangers.

During the month of October, patrons subscribed at $1 and up received a weekly post containing my daily Inktober doodles. Each doodle is inspired by the single word prompt provided by the Inktober listing. Some of my daily doodles evolve into coloring pages, but I don't commit to doing that with all of them. Patrons can let me know which concepts they'd like to see become coloring pages.

Subscribe at $1 per month and unlock patrons-only content.

If you haven't done so already, it is not too late to comment or send me a message to let me know which ideas you'd like to see as coloring pages.

Thirty Things4Thriving 2025

In September 2024, patrons subscribed with a paid membership of $5 and up received a total of Thirty NEW Things via a weekly post in the patrons-only activity feed. By request, I am doing this again this year using all new daily prompts.

Designed to turn down the Screen Volume in the studio, this was a ScreenFree challenge4me to create daily and post weekly. Updates and Things4Thriving for subscribing patrons were shared in a weekly post.

Following a list of daily prompts and flowing with the muses, Things were made up of media including but not limited to:

Illustrations, painting, photography, paper, fabric, Things in Progress videos, HowTo4U tutorials, creative wellness content, organic Wild Things, bloggy posts, links to inspiring Stuff and share-worthy resources, community connections, and any other ones that flow in.

Creators joining the challenge in 2024 also had free access to the easy-to-print pdf of daily prompts for their personal use.

Current and new patrons subscribing on patreon at $5 and up can unlock and revisit these Things from 2024 using these links on patreon:

ThirtyThings4ThrivingWeekOne~Sep 2024

ThirtyThings4ThrivingWeek2~Sep2024

ThirtyThings4ThrivingWeek3~Sep2024

ThirtyThings4Thriving Week 4~Sep 2024

If you’re a creator who’d like to join us in the #30Things4Thriving challenge, these are the prompts we’ll be using this month.
