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.
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...
🕊️ Finding peace in UNCERTAIN times...
Hi Reader, Just a heads up that I just released a new YouTube video. 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! Have a beautiful weekend! With love and gratitude, Julie Watch or Listen Now 113 Cherry St #92768, Seattle, WA 98104-2205No longer want to receive these emails? Unsubscribe · Preferences
We didn't expect THAT...
An Unexpected Guest at the Wedding My niece will be getting married in a few weeks and it has me remembering her mother's wedding many years ago. It was an outdoor wedding and everything was going splendid. My flight had arrived on time the day before, so I was able to help with the preparations, the weather was beautiful and everyone was happy. On the day of the wedding, my sister looked absolutely gorgeous as she began her short walk down our makeshift isle on the lawn to the spot where she...
Why less is MORE...
Hi Reader, I hope your weekend is going well and you are finding time to for things that make your heart smile. After cleaning house yesterday, I spent the afternoon revitalizing my strawberry bed. I really love time in the garden. Today, taxes are on my to-do list. Ugh! But I made some ricotta pancakes and blueberry chia jam for on top, so that was a good start to the day. The kitchen is the other place I really enjoy being. I wanted to give let you know about my most recent YouTube video....
Don't wait. CHOOSE happy now...
Choose Your Happiness I recently had a client share her realization that we control the small moments of our lives and that we have the choice to enjoy and find joy in the things that we do. Listening to her explain what a big impact this had made on how she experiences her days nearly brought me to tears. I was so happy for her. I could almost feel her new found sense of empowerment and it is such a beautiful thing to witness when it comes to realizing that you can create happiness in your...
It's time now to RECLAIM your life. Live with purpose!
Running Your Life Like a CEO... Hi Reader, Have you ever felt like there just aren’t enough hours in the day? Like no matter how much you try to catch up, there’s always something pulling you in another direction? I used to feel that way—for years. I wish I'd figured out to change this years ago. Years ago I didn't think it was possible, but trust me it is. You simply have to change your mindset a bit and do things a little differently. In my latest video, Slow Living Strategies: Adopting a...
