Welcome
I'm so happy to meet you!
Hi, I am Terry J Walker, creator of 52 Weeks, an offering straight from the heart and many years of learning to live a conscious life. 52 Weeks is a weekly post which includes a little poster (like the one below), stories, information, research, strategies and journal prompts for implementing the week's theme.
The weekly theme centers around self-awareness, self-care and ways to feel good, all things I've discovered on my own journey to living a more conscious life. Sharing these tips, tricks and techniques and giving you a week to explore and play with each week's theme is the foundation for 52 Weeks.
Who am I?
Thanks to my smart parents, I had the good fortune to grow up in Hawaii surfing, swimming and playing in nature. Currently I live on the Big Island on 2 acres of beautiful land that was not covered in lava during the last eruption. Yes, I live in that neighborhood, Leilani Estates, where half our subdivision was lost to lava in 2018.
I am an artist who loves to paint, draw quirky posters and design patterns for fabric. I also love to write and so, here I am starting my substack. Why?
Because I am a person who cares about how I live my life. I think what we do in our daily lives and how we treat each other matters. Being kind and loving is the best thing we can be in this life—it is also the most challenging, especially now.
My posts are my attempt to share what I have learned and what works for me. So many of us claim to want a better life and a better world. The bottom line, you have to do the work of being better—kinder and more loving to yourself and everybody else—even when and especially when so many people are mean, greedy and uncaring of anyone but themselves. It is time to step up. I know it is for me it’s time to stop complaining and blaming and do better.
Each week you’ll receive a full 52 weeks post for free. I’m offering it for free because we all need help in being our best selves. If, however you want to subscribe weekly or monthly that is awesome too!
Thanks for being here. See you next week.
