my living canvas

Yup...signed up for another class with Christy Tomlinson! 

This one is creativity and my own personal story all mixed into one.  I'm totally excited but scared out of my mind of digging up "me" and learning about myself and creating my own living canvas. 

So far, the Facebook group is totally amazing, I've already learned so much and today is only the first day!  I'm really looking forward at how this journey unfolds. 

Thanks for poping in.  Have a wonderful day!

The Art of Wild Abandonment

Welcome Blog Hop participants and Friends!

I am wicked excited to have you visit and see one of my Junelle Jacobsen inspired projects.  For my faithful friends, you've just gotta continue on the journey of this blog hop as there are some amazing talent in these women.  For my Art of Wild Abandonment alumni, you have inspired me, taught the joys of friendship, understanding and unconditional encouragement.

If you are following along the blog hop, you should have just visited Rebekah Farr.  Or if you are just joining in on the fun, and would like to start from the beginning, the first blogger is Claire Smillie.

Junelle described a time in her life when "truth filled" words washed over her as she spoke them and helped to heal her wounds.  Here is my little journal with just a few of those words that speak to me and wash over me in times of trouble. 

A small 6x7 cardboard album filled with love.

be happy

discover life

embrace

be authentic

i am brave

my healing words.

Thank you for visiting

Your next blog along this journey is the amazingly talented Joanne Freeman.

Enjoy the hop and let your creative soul be inspired!

it's time for me to become great and do great things.

it's time...

"You were never meant to carry around

every hurt,

every pain,

every betrayal,

every mistake,

every label,

every horrible thing anyone has ever said

or done to you

or even that you have done to others.

You were not meant to feel worthless,

lost,

bad,

addicted,

stuck or

invisible."
