✨ The Power of Journal Writing — A Year-Long Creative Journey ✨

A mindful, heart-centered practice for artists, writers, and anyone ready to deepen their inner world through words, art, and reflection.

The Power of Journal Writing is a year-long art journaling experience designed to gently guide you through twelve months of creativity, self-expression, reflection, and soulful exploration.

Together, we move through four beautifully curated quarters—each one themed, intentional, and woven with prompts, meditations, creative play, and community connection.

This isn’t just a class—
It’s a rhythm.
A practice.
A companion through your year.

Hello friend, I’m Leaca Young—

artist, teacher, journal keeper, and lifelong collector of stories. I create from a deep love of vintage papers, botanicals, watercolor, and the quiet magic of noticing the small, beautiful things that shape our lives.

I’ve kept journals off and on throughout my life, filling pages whenever I needed a place to land my thoughts. But when my son passed away, journal writing shifted from something I occasionally did… to something that held me. It became a steady, grounding practice—one that helped me stay emotionally stable, whether I was deep in grief or navigating the everyday rhythms of life.

Through writing, I found room to breathe again. Through art, I found a way to honor my heart. And through both, I discovered a way forward.

My work now centers around mindful creativity—using art and journal writing as a way to heal, to reflect, to grow, and to celebrate the everyday moments that make us who we are. For me, journaling isn’t just a practice—it’s a companion, a sanctuary, and a space where honesty and hope can live side by side.

I teach classes that blend journaling, meditation, collage, watercolor, and meaningful conversation, offering spaces where people can slow down, breathe, and make something that feels like home. Whether through year-long programs like The Power of Journal Writing, my Paper Poetry classes, digital downloads, or vintage-inspired collage kits, everything I create is meant to inspire you to listen to your own stories, trust your creative voice, and make art that feels genuine and personal.

I’m grateful you’re here.
Let’s make something beautiful together.
