Rebecca M. Zajac
An award-winning teenage artist and illustrator, Becca Zajac, has been exploring art and journaling since middle school. She has taken excerpts from her own journals and combined them into one book for new journalists. When you Join My Journal, you join Becca’s creative flow and find your own. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of Join My Journal will be donated to mental health outreach advocates at Minding Your Mind.

Minding Your Mind Fundraiser
As the saying goes, “April showers bring May flowers.” We’ve always held tightly to this springtime promise, maybe at no time more than this year. The hope of consistent warm and sunny days ahead goes a long way to lift our spirits. It helps us feel optimistic and take baby steps toward our pre-COVID way of living. For us here at Minding Your Mind it means that every day we move closer and closer to live, in-person programming — we cannot wait! As we reflect on the events of the past year, we see clearly that many directly highlight what we teach: we are healthiest when we take care of our ourselves physically and emotionally, and stronger and much more resilient when we take care of one another. It appears that we are rounding the corner and approaching a new sense of “normal.” We hope that the mental health and emotional support programming provided by Minding Your Mind to your school, your families, and your entire community has helped carry you through in some way. We continue to be here for you as we embark on this journey of return, together.
Happy Spring!
