I just thought it has been awhile since I have written anything. I think about coming on here all the time and then I get distracted. I think of amazing, inspirational, sometimes thought provoking things to say and then I sit down to write and cue the crickets! Its like my brain is a child going "No! I don't wanna!" Sometimes I think I am afraid of what my fingers will type but then other times my mind just goes blank. I do want to start writing more often. I want to start writing more poetry and sharing things about my life, and the books I am reading, and the friends I have, and how much I love my job some days and hate it the next! I want to get it all out so the energy doesn't build up inside of me. Always good to release it in whatever medium you choose. My mediums happen to be creative ones. I started to do Artistic Journaling (original piece shown above) and FELL IN LOVE WITH IT!! I hope the fact that I used CAPS gets my point across! I love it. It is such a great way to express yourself. I have a spiral bound art notebook that I am creating. More pictures to come. Even if I work on a piece for a few minutes or a few hours it is an instant stress relief. It brings me a calm. I feel in sync with my life and what is going on at that time. Even when I was upset and angry I worked on one and felt so much better. It doesnt matter the mood I am in. I am so grateful for the workshops I have been taking called The Artists Way! I have learned so much about myself, myself as an artist, and art itself. Artistic Journalism was something taught to me during the last workshop. It has open my horizons further then I ever thought was possible! My inner artist is alive and I LOVE that feeling! <3
