Art Journal Cover created from a Wheat Thins box
As children, I remember my sister and I spending hours playing “Make Believe”. We reenacted our favourite movie, The Parent Trap, again and again. We made up stories which we then acted out, complete with costumes and props.
What we created felt so real to us.
And then, somewhere on that journey from childhood to adulthood, make…

A Flower Is A Poem Without Words – Art Journal Black-Out Page – November 6, 2019
As I drifted off to sleep last night, the title for yesterday’s art journal spread drifted into my thoughts. Not wanting to wake myself up, I told myself I’d remember it this morning.
And I did! (Whew! ‘Cause I remember really connecting with the title as I fell asleep!)
One of the challenges of a 3-hour art…

I See You. I Hear You. I Am Not Afraid.
I See You. I Hear You. I Am Not Afraid.
The story of life is a never-ending river flowing toward a distant sea. Every moment filled with endless Love flowing free.
When I sank into meditation yesterday, I gave myself the opportunity for my inner knowing deep within my belly to rise up in response to the question, “What are you afraid of?”
The answer surprised me.
It wasn’t death. Success. Failure. Speaking in public. Or even growing…

It's not about finding perfection.
It’s not about finding perfection.
Exploring 1 Art Journal page August 12, 2014
Like writing, art-making takes a willingness to move through ‘the bad’ to allow the good to appear.
It is not about finding perfection. It’s about finding the perfect moment to breathe into what appears, exactly the way it is and delight in its presence.
I have been exploring art journalling.
Ah, you may ask, what is an art journal?
Like a diary, it…

Perfect beautiful life
Waking up at 8am. Making tea, and bringing it into bed with him. Making oatmeal with cinnamon, or toasts with jam, for our breakfast. Watching him get ready, prepare his lunch, and say "see you tonight".
Making the bed. Cleaning the kitchen. Working out (yoga and stretching at the very least, maybe some fitness too, 3x a week). Cleaning the bathroom. Taking a shower, scrubbing my body, putting on lotion. Doing my nails. Waxing. Doing my eyebrows, my hair.
Making lunch, and prepping dinner. Fish, meat, meatballs, smoked salmon. Vegetables, steamed, sauteed, with tons of onions and garlic. Rice, pasta. Quinoa. Beans and grains. Yogurt. Fruits.
Reading a book and taking a nap, falling asleep.
Waking up, watching a series' episode, or a movie. Washing, cutting, and freezing some onions or fruit. Going through our finances. Reading blogs. Keeping track of my food intake and workouts. Vacuuming. Grocery shopping. Art journaling.
Putting make-up on, walking to his office to "pick him up", going back home together.
Finishing dinner, eating together, watching a movie.
Sleep tight at 11pm at the latest.
