Art Prompt: A Collage of Your Favorite Things

Image
If you need a creative boost, a collage of your favorite things just might perk up your spirit. Here are some ideas for getting started:


- collect some of your well read magazines and start cutting out images that resonate with you. No need for a lot of thought here. Colors and patterns may catch your eye, faces or rooms might pique your interest, titles of articles may draw your attention. 

- find colorful patterned papers from gift bags, tissue inserts, the inside of security envelopes, junk mail, or greeting cards. 

- look for images online and print them on your printer

The colors in this first mandala are from my painting "Blue Woman" and are symbolic re…

The Secret to the Journey to Health: Love Yourself

Image
True change comes from a place of love - a love of self. The Secret to the Journey to Health is learning to love ourselves. 

Having recently read the amazing book You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay, I've found so many things that resonate on this Journey to Health and being a health coach. This latest art journal entry is an illustration about loving myself on this journey to health. 

I have long known that the weight is not about the food and the exercise as much as it is about the mindset. 

Our self loathing, lack of love for who we are, and our actions are what truly keep us on the continuing cycle to gaining and losing the pounds. We carry our extra weight as a shield of armor, protecting us from facing ourselves, dealing with our issues, and finding peace of mind versus looking at ourselves with lovingkindness and forgiveness. 

The simple act of looking in the mirror and saying "I Love You" can be one of the most difficult tasks for someone who is constantly criticizi…
