JMB Living
Hi! I'm Julie, founder of The Art of Intentional Living Community and creator of beautiful guided seasonal journals focusing on wellness and living intentionally. I teach journaling as a tool, not only for mental wellness, but also for creating what you want out of life. My journals are quite unique – guided journal, planner and magazine in one. They include articles sharing inspiration from wellness professionals, vision board space, habit trackers and so much more. I also just release Worthy: A Radical Self-Love Journal. Each week I release new videos on my YouTube channel with suggestions and ideas for slow living and intentional living.
7 Tiny Luxuries to add BIG joy!
Hi Reader, Have you ever noticed how a small, beautiful moment can change how your whole day feels? Moments that add a smile to my face can be as simple as one flower in a tiny bud vase or lighting a candle at the table for dinner–or even for breakfast like I did this morning. These little things might seem insignificant, but they have a quiet power—the power to bring you back to the present, to make life feel intentional, and even to spark joy in the middle of an ordinary day. In my latest...
What you don't want to miss today...
What Delight Does Hurry Hide? I was thinking today about the little delightful moments in life that we miss when we are in a hurry to accomplish things quickly. This morning I decided that some rhubarb with my oats would be a lovely spring breakfast. I took a handful of rhubarb out of the refrigerator and quickly rinsed it off. Then I lined up the ends of the stalks so that I could cut off the brown tips all at once. As I got ready to slice the rest of the rhubarb into 1 inch pieces, I...
🌸 Life AFTER the hustle... How to get there!
Hi Reader, If you’ve ever felt like life is rushing by and you’re just trying to keep up — you are so not alone.For years, I was chasing all the "right" things — the home, the career, the endless to-do lists — without even realizing how much it was costing me. Then something beautiful (and a little scary) happened: I radically slowed down. And it changed everything. 🌸 Today, I’m sharing a new YouTube video where I talk about 5 surprising things I discovered when I finally hit pause on the...
💡The missing piece in your strategy...
Why isn't this working??? Is there something you have been struggling to bring into your life? It occurred to me while watering and fertilizing my plants last week that perhaps often what we struggle to bring in our to our lives is more from lack of watering, fertilizing and attention. When I let work take over my life years ago, I would get frustrated that my plants didn't get as big or produce as much as I would like or that my flowers didn't bloom as much as I thought they should. Yet this...
Just 1 page a day?
✨ A Little Morning Magic (By Request!) Hi Reader, You know I love slow, intentional mornings—and it turns out, many of you do too! We probably all do–it's just figuring out how to make them happen, right? This week’s video was inspired by a lovely request from one of my listeners who asked me to share what I read for morning inspiration. So I pulled together 13 of the books I’ve loved returning to again and again—books you can open to any page and instantly feel more grounded, present, and...
Not enough time? How to FIX this...
Cara Owsley, The Inquirer Maybe Time isn't the REAL problem... Earlier this week I took off a couple of days to go help my sister haul everything back into her sweet little cafe that she'd had to empty out when the floods rolled through our little corner of the world. They will have to buy new hot water heaters and a new furnace as the ground water rose several feet in the basement, but it didn't rise high enough to bring with it the mud that so many people have to deal with in the aftermath...
Spring Fever? What's the REAL reason???
Your body knows something your mind might have forgotten… Hi Reader, Lately I've been feeling that familiar inner spring drive.... Have you been feeling it too? That sudden urge to clean out your closet, clear your calendar, or just shake things up a bit and rearrange? I'm beginning to think that this is not just a coincidence—it’s our body and soul asking for a reset. We often think of spring cleaning as something we do to tidy our homes, but what if it could be more than that? What if...
✅ A Spring RESET checklist for you!
SPRING RESET As we step fully into the spring season here in Kentucky, I wanted to share a quick pic of something that brings me joy every time I walk out my front door. I even had enough tulips this year to put a bouquet on my dining room table. If the spring colors haven't gotten into full swing where you live yet, just know spring is definitely on the way! With this time of year comes an inner urge for getting moving, cleaning up our spaces and being more productive. Just as nature is...
😀 The Secret to a Happy Start to your day...
START YOUR DAY RIGHT Last week was a week of little sleep. I went camping with my daughter's family in Moab and the windy weather made it a bit tough. The first night somebody's car horn kept blaring every few minutes. It was keeping the whole campground awake. Then I realized it was my rental vehicle! 😳 Ooops! Worse still, I couldn't figure out how to get it to quit. Finally I decided to sleep with the keys in the vehicle that night. At least I tried to sleep... A couple nights later my...

It seems I've felt the weight of uncertainty a little more often lately and since I know this can be a struggle, I thought I'd share some of the ways I use to cope. Hope you find this helpful!
