🌕 OK is OK

All images created by Rebekah Marshall’s prompts using AI on Gencraft.com website.

I honor steady growth over flawless results — each imperfect step is a sacred part of becoming whole.


🌱 Why This Resonates With My Journey:

  • “I honor steady growth…”
    ➤ Reminds me that showing up, even imperfectly, is what builds transformation — not polished performance.
  • “…over flawless results”
    ➤ Gently confronts my perfectionism by prioritizing the journey, not just achievement.
  • “Each imperfect step…”
    ➤ Validates every attempt, every wobble, every beginner effort — not just success stories.
  • “…is still a sacred part of becoming whole.”
    ➤ I’m not just learning skills — I’m returning to my true self, which includes grace, rest, and humanity.

(I am doing the writing exercises in the back of the book You are a Badass at Making Money by Jen Sincero, and this topic was about getting comfortable with progress versus perfection. I am also learning to trade futures, so the art is related to the charts we use to make the trades.)

🌿 Show up for Practice

I honor what strengthens me by showing up daily — not as an obligation, but as devotion to the life I’m building and the self I’m becoming.


🌞 Why This Speaks to My Truth:

  • “I honor what strengthens me”
    ➤ This puts my practices — like meditation, prayer, grounding — in the category of sacred nourishment, not optional tasks.
  • “By showing up daily”
    ➤ I’m affirming consistency, routine, and reliability.
  • “Not as an obligation, but as devotion”
    ➤ This shifts the energy from “should” to choice, from “task” to intimacy with self and spirit.
  • “To the life I’m building and the self I’m becoming”
    ➤ Connects it to my vision and my higher self — my why.

💗 Choose Kind Words

I choose words that honor the tenderness of being human — words that lift, soothe, and encourage the soul in every body, including mine, especially mine.

🌸 Why This Holds My Truth:

  • “I choose words…”
    ➤ I’m stepping into intentional language — not reactive or habitual, but chosen like prayer.
  • “…that honor the tenderness of being human”
    ➤ Reminds me (gently) that all bodies, all conditions, all stages of life deserve honor — not comparison or contempt.
  • “…lift, soothe, and encourage the soul…”
    ➤ This is what I want my words to do — to myself and to others: not push harder, not punish, but nourish.
  • “…in every body, including mine, especially mine.”
    ➤ This is the healing pivot. The part of me that easily loves and uplifts others must be turned inward — with extra gentleness, because this is the wound that most needs balm.

🌕 My Friend, Fear:

Fear walks with me, not ahead of me — it is the shiver that proves I’m expanding, the hush before my next leap, the echo that reminds me I’m alive and rewriting the rules I was taught to obey.

💬 Why This Resonates for Me:

  • “Fear walks with me, not ahead of me”
    ➤ I’m learning to hold fear as a companion, not a leader — I’m still in control.
  • “The shiver that proves I’m expanding”
    ➤ Honors that fear is a signal of growth, not failure. I’m not broken — I’m stretching.
  • “The hush before my next leap”
    ➤ Speaks to my propensity to reflect deeply before making bold moves — and that those silences are sacred, not stuck.
  • “The echo that reminds me I’m alive and rewriting the rules I was taught to obey”
    ➤ This is about healing financial trauma, breaking inherited scarcity mindsets, and forging my own path — with fire and grace.

(I am doing the writing exercises in the back of the book You are a Badass at Making Money by Jen Sincero, and this topic was about fear. I am also learning to trade futures, so the art is related to the charts we use to make the trades.)

💎 My WHY:

All images created by Rebekah Marshall’s prompts using AI on Gencraft.com website.

I build wealth to rewrite the story — to bless those I love, heal the wounds behind me, and create a life of joyful abundance, generosity, and freedom for all who walk beside me.


✨ Why This Works:

  • “I build wealth to rewrite the story”
    ➤ Acknowledges that my path is one of transformation and conscious re-authoring of generational patterns.
  • “To bless those I love”
    ➤ Centers my heart-based motivation to support friends and family.
  • “Heal the wounds behind me”
    ➤ Honors the lineage and the pain I’m transmuting through my journey — a true act of generational healing.
  • “Create a life of joyful abundance, generosity, and freedom”
    ➤ Highlights the quality of life I’m manifesting — not just money, but liveliness, joy, and choice.
  • “For all who walk beside me”
    ➤ Speaks to the shared nature of my success — that my elevation raises the collective.

(I am doing the writing exercises in the back of the book You are a Badass at Making Money by Jen Sincero, and this topic was about coming up with a “Why” for wanting to create wealth. I am also learning to trade futures, so the art is related to the charts we use to make the trades.)

Book Journal

(Poem 362 for 2024 – I am writing a poem a day)

(Photo of the cover of my journal.)

I’ve begun a Book Journal,
because I need a new creative
project like I need another cat
or another book for my library.

Each page is filled with pictures
and stickers, doodles and color,
memorabilia and my scribblings
of what went on in my life this year.

The cover says The Sea Hunters II
by Clive Cussler and Craig Dirgo,
but if someone picks it up off my shelf,
they will be sorely disappointed.

The insides are not The Sea Hunters II
by Clive Cussler and Craig Dirgo,
but instead the whimsical story
of the life of Rebekah J. Marshall.
