Use color, shape, line, magazine cutouts, words, phrases - anything goes! Use these prompts one at a time or all together to explore the depth of these concepts. Art journaling helps us reduce worry and process our life experiences in a safe, comfortable way. It can help us reduce anxiety and self doubt because of the healing effect on the amygdala, which regulates emotions and creative thinking. Art journaling can be as playful or as serious as you'd like it to be. All you need is paper and simple supplies. Take a load off and lighten your heart. Unwind at the end the week or when you need some lighthearted self care.

Dear members, if you have some beauty, joy, creativity or craftiness to share from your recent festivities, I wanna see! Let's share some of the visual memories dear to our hearts from the holiday season. I'll start by sharing some of my pics. 1. Fuzzy owl ornaments on our tree. 2. I love colored lighting. My partner got me the lotus lamp on the shelf and I love how it complements the area and creates so many different color combinations. 3. Seattle amazes me. These sweet little flowers are in bloom right now, along with some camelia, rhododendron and even a couple cherry blossoms. Wacky year for the growing season but the more flowers the better for my eyes. Whatever you celebrate, I hope love and belonging held you softly, and comfort and warmth surrounded you. I hope you are enjoying some rest and fun and have a wonderful weekend. ✨❄️✨
