This week's new video started out a lot longer and different than what ultimately ended up being uploaded: https://youtu.be/4mK7oNWNQCI After seven months without posting videos, I thought it might be fun to create a "What I've Been Up to in 2021 So Far" type of video. Even though I wasn't making videos for the first... Continue Reading →
September 2021 Journal Prompts
Well we're really into the back half of 2021 now, aren't we? This is both a frustrating development for me (there are so many things I haven't done yet!), and a good place for reflection (look at what I *have* accomplished and stayed consistent with all year!) Daily journaling has been one of the bright... Continue Reading →
The Making Of: Chlorine 🌊 | A Visual Poem
https://youtu.be/GavWuguPhwY I’ve been challenging myself to periodically write a poem as part of my daily journaling practice. The prompt "Write about your favorite smell" felt like the perfect moment for a poem so I wrote this: But when thinking about videos for August, I remembered I had some pool footage I shot last summer and...

August 2021 Journal Prompts
We've made it to August and that means new journal prompts! August is a weird month to me where you're half in the hazy oppressive heat of late summer and half in the bright-eyed optimism of a new school year. Even though I've been out of school for 9 (NINE!?!?) years now, there's still a... Continue Reading →
iIMAGINEblank’s 10 Year YouTube Anniversary 🥳
I spent the summer of 2011 immersed in "YouTube Video World" via my stint at the YouTube Creator Institute and the subsequent hours I slaved over turning my channel ideas into reality. So then on July 22, 2011, iIMAGINEblank was born! It's been 10 years, 500+ videos, and A LOT of changing, growing, and figuring... Continue Reading →
July 2021 Journal Prompts
Somehow we're over halfway through the year already and fully into summer. I write to you today in the cool morning hours of my parent's pool deck where I'm taking a much needed mental health break for the week. 2021 has somehow felt harder in many ways than 2020 did. Last year we gave each... Continue Reading →
June 2021 Journal Prompts
We're diving in to my favorite (and usually most busy) part of the year! June brings warmer weather, the first pool days, and lots of lush greenery. It's also a time of nostalgia for me. (Though it seems like EVERY season is nostalgic for me these days 😅). One of the saddest memories was summer... Continue Reading →
May 2021 Journal Prompts
The year is once again flying by (?!) and it's May! And I think that sentiment of time slipping through my fingers is reflected in this month's prompts. I reflect on the questions "Where have I been?" and "Where am I going?" a lot these days. I like to look back without feeling too much... Continue Reading →
What I Made in April // Photo Journal Challenge
I gave myself a new journaling challenge in April: take a weekly photo. If you scrolled through my iPhone camera roll, you'd find some days where I have a hundred photos. Mostly of my cat (because he's cute ALL the time) or a mini selfie shoot because I was feeling cute (which happens SOME of... Continue Reading →
April 2021 Journal Prompts
In my mind, April is the start of spring. It's a time of blooming flowers, warmer days, and a feeling of rebirth. (It's also coincidentally my birthday month!) So I fashioned this month's prompts with that sense of renewal in mind. I think I went a little heavy with some of the prompts the past... Continue Reading →
