Give yourself a hug, imaginate (Imagine & Create) your own joy...

I'm all about Art Therapy. When your heart hurts and your body is turning against you, what can you do to not give up on your god given right to joy. To be creative one need not be especially talented. Art has been given a bad reputation because it has long been disguised as the rich man's luxury. I... Sign in to see full entry.

A life remembered...Our family's hands...what we have in common

I am to be a wound-tight neurotic dreamer, depressed one day and striving to produce the next, with not quite 20/20 vision, sensitive ears and noisy fingers and mouth. Since I was a little girl, I’ve been on a kind of mental metamorphosis contemplating how each generation was supposedly built on the... Sign in to see full entry.

Doodle and scribble your own happiness...

I began using imagery as a remedy for what was ailing my soul. It was fun and relaxing. It also gave me something to do when I was bored or down. I liked expressing myself so much, I signed up for art and writing classes at a local college. I didn't have to worry if my work was bad as bad can be. I... Sign in to see full entry.

It is thought all children are artists...why?

In our very earliest childhood, attention-grabbing angels and muses kiss our imagination with infinite words, colors, forms and symbols for us to use in spontaneous imaging. A new box of crayons can delight and inspire the child in all of us. Why shouldn’t they? They smell good, are delicately... Sign in to see full entry.

Be selfish...improve on your own estate...seek wisdom...go back to school!

If you want to change your life for the better, try going back to school like I did. Take a course in writing, ceramics, basket weaving, or jewelry making. Or, gift yourself by padding your soul with love and goodwill for others. Are you a collector? Or, maybe, you’re more of a packrat? If you... Sign in to see full entry.

Angels, Angels, Everywhere...

It is widely thought that angels are especially attracted and helpful to writers and artists. Religious writings, music, paintings, and mosaics abound with their wisdom and images. Whether adored with wings, hallows or harps, angels are always given the attributes of healing, giving solace, and... Sign in to see full entry.

Surviving Depression with Art Therapy, my book soon to be in print...

This book is a compilation of my thoughts, dreams, and academic study while on a creative journey for self-love. Taking you along with me gives me validation for taking my time and company from my loved ones. Most of us beginning writers are told to write about what we know. Many start out with...

Four things a man must learn to do...

If he would keep his record true; To think, without confusion, clearly; To love his fellow-man sincerely; To act from honest motives purely; To Trust in God and Heaven securely. by Henry Van Dyke Sign in to see full entry.

A poet is like an unwound clock, without a key, lost in the moment...

as I hemorrhage a little onto paper, my letters falling away like birds in a hail storm, lost in unproductive foggy days and nights, stuffing disposable dreams, fear, malice, My heart taut and burdened, sweating illogical airs, ready to burst, Many nights spent stalking my words into...
