Day 24: 28-Days of Art Journaling

Tonight’s art journal pages didn’t exactly turn out as I’d planned, but they did teach me once again to let go of trying to control the process and to let go of my attachment to the end result. Day 24… Related Links: Day 1 – What this 28-day project is all about and why I…

Day 23: 28-Days of Art Journaling

After three weeks of art/visual journaling every day I’ve yet to grow tired of it. As a matter of fact, I look forward to it throughout the day. I have developed a daily practice that begins about the time the sun begins to set. It’s my time to play and to explore, to see what…

Day 22: 28-Days of Art Journaling

It’s not just about making decorative pages. It’s about using art to get in touch with ourselves. ~ Lucia Capacchione, Ph.D., from a recorded interview by Suzette Milam-Morrow. You can watch it HERE. The prompt for today’s journal page has been peculating for awhile. It’s about questioning how to reconcile the past with the future,…

Day 21: 28-Days of Art Journaling

After spending the day with my Mom she was on my mind tonight as I began my art journal. It wasn’t until after I had finished the page that I realized the colors I used were red, white and blue, the colors representing the United States. My Mom is very proud of our country and…

Day 20: 28-Days of Art Journaling

It hurts and saddens me when I see people wearing masks to hide their sadness or their grief or to see them wear a mask to hide their happiness or joy out of fear of upsetting others; to see them wearing disguises so they fit in or wearing masks to hide their true selves. Why…

Day 19: 28-Days of Art Journaling

When working in my art/visual journal I try to follow my intuition and see what questions, words, images, colors, feelings, etc come up. Before I started journaling this evening I finished up all the little odds and ends of the day and then took a few minutes to just sit quietly, breathe and relax. The…

Day 18: 28-Days of Art Journaling

Tonight, although exhausted, I kept my commitment and created a new art journal page. Art journaling doesn’t always have to be introspective, about asking questions or about seeking answers. It can simply be a way to remember a special event. Tonight’s page was about celebrating. You see, it’s been months since my Rav4 died and…

Day 16: 28-Days of Art Journaling

Yesterday’s journal question was still with me today so I again allowed my intuition to guide me to answer the question “What am I seeking?” Day 16… Related Links: Day 1 – What this 28-day project is all about and why I started it. Day 2 – Resistance: What’s stopping me? Day 3 – Letting…

Day 15: 28-Days of Art Journaling

I had a rare, full day to myself today. It was also 102 degrees outside so I had a great excuse to just hang it in the house all day. I did a little reading, talked to some friends, did a little journaling (the old-fashion pen and paper way) and spent some time in quiet…
