Collage

I am off work for about 6 weeks. The time is really awesome. We have been bombarded with celebrations: graduation and my parents 50th wedding anniversary. In addition, we have come off a very difficult year.

I don't really have any plans for the time off. Much to my surprise I have begun collaging. This started in the spring when my sister in law and I visited a spa. We took a collage class.

I've been collaging my journal from this past year. It is full of many sad thoughts. I first was thinking of just getting rid of it. Somehow that seemed dishonest, the feelings were very real.

Then I just started collaging. I am adding layers to the story. I know the parts of the story underneath, but I also know many new images and feelings.

I love how the creative spirit guides us in our healing. I had no idea I was going to spend the week covered in Modge Podge.

About Me

Hmmm...Who am I? let's see the facts first. I'm 48 years old, married to my high school sweet heart, Bob. I I'm a mess most of the time, but everyone always thinks I really have it together. I love to listen to people and hear their stories. Art and writing are my spiritual practices. I deeply believe in god and that god is love. My theology is wide and constantly changing. When I was 18 I wrote out 4 pages single spaced on spiritual questions I had about life. I'm not sure I've answered any of them.
