I just read this post on Terri’s blog about the strands of potential in each of us, and how life can push that potential back into dark places.
One thing I know for certain, from my own experience, is that if we hiding part of ourselves - any part - or holding back anything, we are [...]
Snapping pictures of life
Thursday, July 3rd, 2008I nearly always carry my camera with me. I am ready to snap anything that might be interesting to share in my blog, or use as an image in art. But, you know what? I hardly ever actually get it out and use it.
Partly because I’m not a good enough photographer to catch things quickly [...]

Creative Clown Art
Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008My friend Lotus posted some art that her son did on her blog. He apparently had seen her visiting my blog, so that’s what he drew when he drew his mom at the computer. How cool is this???

Journaling as a Garbage Disposal
Friday, June 27th, 2008Journaling is a great way to get rid of the garbage in your head. Everyone has some - worries, deadlines, to do lists, “I’m too fat”. This brain garbage keeps us from being able to reach our creative thoughts.
It’s hard to be creative when you have all that chatter going on. And it’s often not [...]
Healing Through Looking at the Past
Thursday, June 26th, 2008“The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places.”
~Ernest Hemingway
I believe that it’s important to look into our past to find clues that will help us live better today. Finding the causes of some of our behaviors gives us information we need in order to change those behaviors. Understanding how I [...]
Do you Twitter
Tuesday, June 24th, 2008Twitter, if you don’t know about it, is a fun little application. You type in a short message about what you are doing or just some thoughts you’re having. You choose whose twitters you want to see and other people can choose to see yours. It’s difficult to describe so go to http://twitter.com and check [...]
Gluebook Journals
Monday, June 23rd, 2008 In the Fun Journaling yahoo group, we have been discussing gluebooks. Gluebooks are a certain style of visual journal. They are fun and take away the pressure to create “pretty” pages. So, if you’re struggling with that inner critic in your art journal you might want to try a few gluebook type pages.
The idea [...]
Home
Friday, June 20th, 2008Walk through the different rooms where you eat, sleep and live. Bless the walls, the roof, the windows and foundation. Give thanks for your home exactly as it exists today; sift and sort, simplify; and bring order to the home you have. Realize that the home of your dream dwells within. ~ Sarah ban Breathnach
