Hello to you. My name is Anita Lee. I am the founder of My Blooming Creativity, a journal designer, a storyteller, and someone proudly living a successfully sober life.

My journey hasn’t been smooth and easy. I lost my mother at the age of 7, and spent close to 10 years in the foster care system of the state in which I lived. Like many, I searched for relief in all the wrong places. Eventually, I turned to alcohol to ease the pain of coping and confusion. I spent several years searching and researching. The clarity could not be known until I stopped drinking and started listening – listening to myself, my pain, and my possibilities. That’s how journaling became my anchor.

Through writing, I began to uncover who I really was. It gave me a space to ask hard questions and sit with honest answers. My healing began to unfold, and I realized I wasn’t alone. That is why I am inspired to share and to let others know that they hold value and they are not alone.

My Blooming Creativity is a product of listening, learning, and healing. It began with a different name in the form of a YouTube channel, a place for others to find some of the peace I once sought. It has grown into something much more – not only a collection of journals, handmade designs, and creative tools meant to support others in their own transformation, but a refuge for me to hold on to what I have.

Today, I show up—at craft fairs, online, and in life—with a deep belief that everything is already okay. Life still brings challenges, but now I meet them with clarity, creativity, and compassion. If my story or my work speaks to you, I hope you’ll join me, and we will bloom together!

The vision is of a world where every individual has the opportunity to discover and express their unique voice while unlocking their full potential. We catalyze personal transformation, helping people move through life’s challenges, embrace their strengths and limitations, and cultivate a life rooted in purpose, resilience, and wellness.

The mission is to nurture creativity and authentic expression in every way available - most often through the power of journaling. We believe that creativity is not only a form of expression but a pathway to healing and recovery. Through this lens, we support individuals in rewriting their personal narratives, fostering resilience, and stepping into lives of greater clarity, connection, and well-being.
