Throwback Thursday – Window of the Soul Art Journal Tags Tour
It’s Throwback Thursday of a different kind. I’m adding content I previously lost . . . of some oldies (videos, tutorials, projects). ADD PHOTOS OF TAGS This one here . . . several years ago I taught a different kind of book club class. We would read a chapter or two of this awesome book by Ken Gire called Windows on the Soul, convene together, talk about what we learned, I’d teach a technique on a tag and then we’d each create an art journal page with portions of the book that spoke to us. This is a little tour of the tags I created for the class/techniques I…

Right Now Monday – Be True to You
Right Now, Today, This Monday . . . Right Now . . . today, I am focusing on the importance of caring for myself and being true to me. So often, we think that caring for ourselves is selfish. Well, it’s not. We need to care for ourselves so that we in turn can be better friends, parents, employees, spouses . . . whatever role we fill. We aren’t of any help to others around us if we aren’t healthy. I’m speaking to myself here but possibly it will be something that speaks to your heart. Right Now, taking care of and being true to myself involves; Set safe and healthy boundaries.…

Right Now Monday: Be Kind to Unkind People, They Need It The Most
Wow . . . I read this statement earlier in the week and didn’t know it would ring so true. It was posted (and then reposted) by a radio station. It especially made sense when I had an experience (and opportunity) to be kind to an unkind person. If you don’t mind reading for a moment . . . one of you may need to hear what came to mind as I experienced a very angry and unkind individual. But this presented an opportunity. I was headed to meet my daughter and mom. I entered a very busy shopping center and found an individual that was getting ready to leave. I…

On the Road Again & A New Look for the AF Blog
Greetings all. First off I want to say thank you for being here. These past three years or so have been the most challenging of my life. Not necessarily the cancer fight (although it wasn’t a cake walk and I’m not considered ‘cancer free’ for another four years) but we’ve had some other trials that have been incredibly tough. But nonetheless, I am grateful that I know hope and have truth and promises to stand firmly on. About a month ago, my blog went blank. Come to find out our hosting company changed their format to WordPress which I was happy about however my subscriber list and all my former…
