Since I’m going to Fodder School in a month or so, I’m prepping my work space and also my supplies. One of the things I am looking forward to discovering over the course of the next year and a bit is my unique style with mixed media and collaging. These are some of the thingsContinue reading “Finding the Process II”

Reasons
I signed up for Fodder School. What school? Until very recently I don’t thik the word ‘fodder’ was really in my vocabulary, at least not my art vocabulary. But, thanks to the internet and the Instagram world, it is. Stumbling upon an IG account that I happened to like the look of, liking leads toContinue reading “Reasons”
Moderating Self-Care
Last week I posted about art being a form of self-care. And since then, I’ve had a lot of thoughts revolving around that subject. How self-care can potentially, and perhaps quickly, lead to self-indulgence (But really all in the name of taking care of yourself), and self-indulgence may lead to selfishness, which is not goodContinue reading “Moderating Self-Care”
Art as Self-Care
I was talking to someone yesterday about how I sometimes, often times, struggle to find time to pursue my art and creative interests. With all my other activities (Part-time job, house, husband, family events, volunteer work, small biz), it can be difficult to set aside time to work on things that I really WANT toContinue reading “Art as Self-Care”
Expressing God’s Heart
In the preface of Andrew Peterson’s book ‘Adorning the Dark’ he quotes George MacDonald: ‘As the fir-tree lifts up itself with a far different need from the need of the palm-tree, so does each man stand before God, and lift up a different humanity to the common Father. And for each God has a differentContinue reading “Expressing God’s Heart”
Many Gifts
In this post I talked about how God has given each of us a gift. A purposeful gift for us to use for His pleasure (And ours!) and His glory. However, the Lord has not just given each one of us just one gift, but multiple. I am a writer AND a dancer. I amContinue reading “Many Gifts”
Sounding Board
I had coffee with a friend this morning. My friend is a creative type with lots of idea. Kind of like me, haha. Over lunch a couple months ago, she mentioned she had an idea to write and create mystery parties. She would develop the story lines, then, as a side hustle, would offer toContinue reading “Sounding Board”
The Wrestle
I want to share my creative pursuits with you. I want to share my books with you. I want to share my journals with you. There’s nothing stopping me from doing that. Or maybe I am the one stopping myself. I started this blog in December of 2019 and didn’t touch it for four months.Continue reading “The Wrestle”
Making Something
Sometimes when I want to make something, but I don’t know exactly What there is this sense of anticipation, as if I am about to create a masterpiece. I know, I feel, I sense that something really awesome is about to happen…even if I don’t know what it is yet, or what it may lookContinue reading “Making Something”
What the Father Does
Jesus only did what He saw His Father do. “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.” (John 5:19) Jesus only sought and did the will of the Father. ‘…I do notContinue reading “What the Father Does”
