Hi. I’m Lulu, and I’m here to help you step into your destiny.
You want more peace, balance, and hope. That’s why you’re on a journey of self-discovery. You want clear direction and to know your time here matters.
It’s time to live your life on your terms, and I’m here to give you the supportive nudge you need.
You’re not told how powerful your creative energy is, but I believe it’s how your spirit yearns to express itself to awaken all parts of your whole. I offer a potent, yet gentle way to shift into a deeper place within yourself. This work joins the intuitive world of creativity with the logistical world of organization and planning – all of which are needed for living a life of balance and purpose.
You’re here to show up as your whole self to light up this big, beautiful world. It’s time for you to come alive!
Start Your Transformational Journey
Grab a Gratitude Journal
Happiness is a mindset.
If you don’t already have one, I invite you to grab one of my gratitude journals.
Research shows that a gratitude practice can improve one’s health, career, social life, personal life and emotional well-being. (Crazy!)
Adopting an “Attitude of Gratitude” changed my life. So much so that I created the “Gratitude Journal for Teens & Adults.”
It’s a 52-week guide that will help make gratitude part of your daily routine, so you can live your life with more intention, mindfulness, and start reaping the benefits of gratitude today. (And it’s only $7.99 on Amazon! Go get it!!)
Take A Soul Inspiring Class
Soul Journey Journal Series 1
I adore combining creativity with personal/spiritual development. It’s helped me integrate life lessons quicker, heal at a deep level, and make the difficult times easier to bear. I’ve experienced this, my clients have experienced this, and I want this for you too.
No art experience required (but if you’re an experienced creative, you’ll gain new insights too!)
Soul Journey Journal Series 2
*You don’t need to complete the first series before this one. Both Soul Journey Journal series offer their own personal, spiritual, and creative growth in fun and inspiring ways.

✨ Use shading to bring dimension and life to your sketches
✨ Put it all together into a completed portrait you’ll be proud of
No prior portrait experience is required. Just bring your curiosity and creativity!
Who it’s for:
- Beginners who want to finally try drawing faces
- Artists who already draw but want to improve portrait skills
- Anyone ready for a fun, creative day in a supportive environment
🎟 Early Bird Price (through October 8): $75
🎟 Regular Price: $97

Here’s how you attach the small elastic hair tie to the button hole sleeve. This makes pulling the sleeves up so easy, and they stay in place! 😍
Again, Thank you @christiemoeller for this idea❣️

When learning how to draw people, the grid method is a great place to start.
I like using the Grid # app because I can adjust the Rosen columns before downloading the image. You can also draw a grid on your reference photo, and draw the same grid on your paper.
Next, go square by square and draw EXACTLY what you see. This is a great way to scale up or down your image, too.
The grid method is used by beginners and experienced artists alike.
Another drawing technique is the sight-size method. Check out my previous video on it.

This is how I fall asleep instantly, and it’s so easy! Don’t try this unless you want deep sleep 😴
Imagine there’s a ring starting at the top of your head. Start by saying in your head “my body is completely relaxed.“ Next, visualize the ring scanning down your body. As it scans over a new body part, say in your head “my scalp is completely relaxed, my forehead is completely relaxed, my eyes are completely relaxed, my nose is completely relaxed” etc. continue this until you reach your feet, but I never make it that far.
Your mind is a powerful tool. Whatever you think or say, your body will react.
Try this and let me know if it works for you!
