Readers, This Post is All For You

Posted in peek in my journal

I have been making some changes with the look of the Art Slam blog. I am liking them so far. Funny thing…I was going to move my blog to another platform and I received an email about my ProPhoto template upgrading with all kinds of awesome improvements. I am not disappointed at all and I am glad I decided to stick with my WordPress platform.

So, in celebration of the new look, I am asking my readers to de-lurk and share who you are with me and the other readers.

  1. Depending on how you are reading this post, be it through your feed reader, subscription or whatever, click here to visit the full post.
  2. Add your real name so we know who you are.
  3. Type in your email address so I can contact you and thank you for outing yourself.
  4. If you have a blog, share your blog, website or facebook address so the readers and I can find you and learn more about you. When you add your comment, your address will automatically link to your name.
  5. Give me your 10 second elevator pitch. Tell me something about yourself, how long you have been reading the blog, what you like best…anything you want to share or say.

I am looking forward to learning who you are and I greatly appreciate you sharing a little of yourself with me.

Awaiting a New Purpose

Posted in NaBloPoMo, peek in my journal

art journals in progress
Aren’t they beautiful? Art journals in progress and old ones awaiting a new purpose. I recently discovered I love how art journals look from the side when they are closed. All the layers of paint and papers and stuff are like a work of art in themselves. It is completely spontaneous and I like that.

A Peek Inside My Journals – Day 17

Posted in peek in my journal

businessjournal1This is one of the spreads from my business plan journal. I did not finish it because I changed my mind about the original concept. Even still, doing a business plan this was an excellent exercise. I was able to get my ideas out and organize them in a way that made sense. This is something I will be doing again in the very near future to help me keep the online classes I am developing on track. A little bit of planning never hurts.

A Peek Inside My Journals – Day 16

Posted in peek in my journal

my footI came across this page purely by accident this week and this drawing reminded me of some of the best shoes I ever had. I miss them dearly. Just about as much as I miss drawing on a regular basis. I figure if I can fit in twenty minutes of drawing for the next 21 days, I can reestablish the habit. Definitely doable.

A Peek Inside My Journals – Day 15

Posted in peek in my journal

sanctuary

The word, sanctuary means a sacred or holy place. That is how I see my heart and my relationship with God. I had a place I would spill whatever was on my mind, a sanctuary of sorts that I have used for years. It was a comfort, familiar. When what is familiar to you changes, it can be uncomfortable. You almost feel lost because your familiar became your routine, your habit. I am not much on coincidences, but I believe that when something changes your familiar, it is not always a bad thing. It may seem like it at first, but in the end, there is opportunity for growth and a new understanding.

I have a new understanding and I am learning that sanctuary does not have to be a physical or material space. It can be spiritual and it can live in your heart where it is always safe and there is peace.
