❤️‍🩹Domestic Abuse Awareness Month❤️‍🩹 I’m resharing this journal for #DVAwarenessMonth 💜 Every once in a while I share art pages here that are noted as “created in my She Created a Life She Loves Journal.” I created this blank eclectic journal in 2022, (see how-to video) and have slowly been art journaling on its pages (videos and web articles linked below.) It is a slow, contemplative journal, filled as I determine how I want to artistically represent things that I love in my rebuilt life. Although my greatest “creations” are all my dearly loved children, this is not a photo… Continue reading →

Throughout my life as I’ve gone through hard things, God has sent others to me that needed comfort, hope, wise counsel from His unchanging Word. This mixed media Faith Art journal page illustrates that. Continue reading →

Wholeness Healing: Creativity

Creative activities help reset the nervous system, and heal the brain in the areas that can be more readily accessed after abuse. Many times, the logical, executive thinking, complex decision-making brain cannot be our first line of healing, after the confusion and chaos and crazy-making of abuse. Creativity calms down our nervous system, begins to rewire the brain, and sets us on a path to healing. Many people will say, “I’m not creative”. These activities do not require you to be an artist or think you’re “creative”. They tap into the creative side of your brain, that we were all… Continue reading →
