Art for the Soul

You may have read in earlier posts that I'm taking the Soul Restoration workshop with Melody Ross. It's a fabulous way to learn more about yourself--why you let certain people & things into your life only to have them hurt you. You work through the lies and find yourself again with weekly videos & exercises.

With the exercises, you work in your art journal---making pages with prompts Melody gives you each week. I've never really been much of a journaler (& still don't do it as well as I should---one of the things I'm working on!) but adding the art portion has really made a difference.

It's not the best picture but I had a dog on my lap. :)  After taking several classes with Kelly Kilmer last weekend, I'm totally pumped about making art in my journal. This is the page I created yesterday with a couple of this week's prompts. Once I got to writing, I ran out of room!! My next journal is not going to have lines in it so I won't feel the need to actually write on the lines--it's the accountant in me!

Do you make art journals? Do you share them on your blog? What do you love about it??

Escape to Soul Restoration

This week I started a 6-week online workshop called Soul Restoration by Melody Ross.  It's all about finding who and what is living in your soul house and how to take your house back---finding yourself, finding your dreams--your potential, and taking your life back.

Part of our assignment this week is to make the cover to our book---make it our own, something we are comfortable with. We're going to be using this book every day for the next few weeks and hopefully it will be a reminder in the future so it has to be something we love.

I'm all about vintage and Paris and ribbons. I think this really says "ME" and I love the feeling it gives me to look at and to hold it. Now I've started on the inside but since this is a highly personal and soulful journey, there may only be a few photos but I will try to post some that don't give anything away.

Melody is offering this workshop again in April and who knows,.....maybe YOU will be the next one to find your soul house!.
