Journal 52 Week 4  with Effy Wild  ATTEND:   When you attend to things that matter to you, you are giving energy to their manifesto, increase, or arrival.

Book of Days Week 4 with Effy Wild - Archetypes Using the book "Art Journal Your Archetypes", I researched and found those which I identified with the most.  For me, the Rescuer was most prominent.  The Rescuer is reactive and responsive and improves other people's situations.  She is the first person someone calls in a time of need  She loans or just gives people money, her car, or a spare bed.  She may rescue or adopt animals (I am a cat rescuer).  She donates money to rescue organizations and is prepared to give emotional or physical assistance. https://www.amazon.com/Art-Journal-Your-Archetypes-Techniques/dp/1440342717/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1516734857&sr=8-1-fkmr1&keywords=journaling+your+archetype

Colour Me Positive Week 1 challenge

http://messyjessycreates. blogspot.com/2015/07/ This week I was asked if I would give permission to publish a link to my work about self-love.  This  art is from a class I took a couple of years back from  Effy Wild  .  The article will be published at  https://www.betterhelp.com/advice/  and I will keep everyone updated as to when the actual article goes live :-)  I am so happy that I can help someone or ones out there in the world!

Book of Days is a year long art journal class which is run by Effy Wild   Here is my week one spread in which I lay out my goals/words for the year.  These are mindfulness, compassion, and loving kindness, all of which are very important in Buddhism as well as to me.  These words are a reminder to me and I hope that I practice mindfulness, compassion, and loving kindness throughout 2018.

For 2018, I have decided to make my own art journal with my favorite paper-Strathmore 400 series paper- and bind the pages using embroidery thread.  I love the Dylusions journals but found that it gets so fat that I can't use the last third of the pages because it won't lay flat anymore.  We will see how this goes.  I have used this type of art journal before and loved it.  However, it took a while to assemble with all of the sewing.  Effy Wild has an excellent tutorial if you are interested in binding your own journals :-)   https://vimeo.com/56572967
