Arts and Wellness Wednesday - World Wide Disaster Movie! Podcast
What do you do when you feel like you are one of the characters in a Disaster Movie, and you are waiting for the director to call 'Cut' but there is no director and this is real life. You have to find ways in which to manage the emotions that you may be feeling, and ways to work through the day to day.
Depending on where you are in the world your freedom of movement may differ and you may be experiencing a variety of emotions as you try and make sense of it all, the scale, magnitude and everything in between,

In last weeks Arts and Wellness Wednesday I shared some tips that you might want to think about moving forward. It included setting a routine/schedule for yourself - the first week that you may have been off it might have seemed like an extended holiday or weekend, but the days seem to be rolling into one so having a routine that differentiates the days will help.
Thinking about learning a new skill or picking up an old one might help with your day to day. Check out the video below to see some of the other ways in which you can put things in place to help you cope with the emotions that may arise.
In this weeks video we look at some additional tips that you might want to put into place, especially for those who are carers. Using art and creativity is always a great way to help express what you are feeling and it is important to acknowledge as time goes on.

For today's Inspirational Shorts I will be reviewing a Bees wax product that you can do a range of creative projects with, alongside candle wax and petroleum. I have been using them for some small batik projects alongside semi-encaustic on pastels. I will be sharing more with you. I am using a simple oil burner with tealights, which makes the wax melt fairly quickly.

The Art Journal Experience - Word for the Day Raw
Today's episode of Creating in Faith the Faith to be Creative has been posted today. Alongside an art journal page video.
Listen to the podcast
I have been monitoring the whole process and have decided to scale back on the podcast and spend time focusing on creating The Art Journal Experience.
This means that you will be getting two episodes on the podcast each week - the Arts in Wellness Episode - talking about what is going on art wise, speaking to guests and looking at events in the arts and health field. The inspirational shorts is where I look at a tool, book or supply and share how I use it and what I think about them, and you will get to hear about them on the podcast and see them in action on the YouTube channel.

| The Art Journal Experience - allow it to sour! |
The Creating in Faith episodes will continue slightly changed to the Art Journal Experience and an encouraging word on my YouTube channel on Mondays. Essentially it is to encourage you to be more creative and find way to explore it.
Check out the video below
I look forward to having you on this part of the journey. Stay blessed and be a blessing.

Creating in Faith - Sentiments - Episode 177
Listen to the Recording
There are certain things that we can hold on to because it reminds us of another time, or brings back memories of when we used to, could do and that warm fuzzy feeling as you go down memory lane recalling the incident. There are those memories that you also maybe don't want to bring back into the present day.
How often do you think of something you have done and remembered some of the amazing things that you have done to get you to the exact point that you are now. You are amazing and It brings a smile to my face when I remember those times you used to do those amazing things all those years ago.
You remember, you could and did light up the room with your energy and laughter, your fantastic sense of humor and you would make everyone feel so special, though you didn't realise it.
It is easy to remember the times other people impacted on our lives, now think about the impact you have on other peoples lives, think about your gifts and talents, and how you have made use of them.
As you go about your day be reminded of how special you are and when people think about you they hold you in high regard! So from time to time, begin to think about yourself in the same way.
Have a blessed New Year - I hope that you have been working on your focus for 2020.

Restoration - Episode 174 - Creating in Faith - You can create
Welcome to Season 2 of Creating in Faith
Welcome to Episode 174 - Today's word is Restoration
Creating In Faith Encouraging Recordings are to bless and inspire you to be the best of yourself. It can be really great to pull out your art journal/Journal and express what comes up for you either with images and colour, with words or with both. Check out the weekly and monthly videos to help you spend more time in your art journal.
The idea of restoration for me means bringing back into balance taking note of how I am treating my body, and overall health. Am I getting enough rest, doing the things that make me feel good. You might have to plan these things into your schedule and show up for 'you' each and every time. It can be easy to say that you don't have time today and leave it to tomorrow, but as the saying goes 'tomorrow never comes' and you are telling yourself that you don't matter.
Make a list of the things that you like to do that makes you laugh, makes you feel special, it could be taking 5 minutes just for you. What I sometimes do especially if i have spent a lot of focused time on the computer is set my timer on my phone for 10 minutes and have a power nap, when the alarm goes off it plays disco music that I have to jump up and dance to it works for me, I am rested, refreshed and ready to go. You can have large and several small things on your list that you put in place and will help you maintain balance in your life - You are worth it!!
Stay blessed and be a blessing

Arts and Wellness Wednesday - Nurturing
In Today's Arts and Wellness Podcast I talk about the need to nurture and make sure that you prepare yourself for the Christmas Season - for some it can be a lonely time. Were possible see if you have anyone who may need that extra support, welcome them to your homes and family gatherings and be part of a wider community that cares for the individuals who may have a hard time at this time of the year
We can often forget to take care of ourselves as we are rushing around caring for others, and so it is important to take stock every now and then to make sure your not running on empty.
Remember to check out the Art Journal page creations in Mondays Creating in faith as a way of you taking stock of how far you have come and the direction in which you are heading. Taking one step and one day at a time you are able to make sure you are always prepared for the events that may crop up and your perspective is one that is coming from abundance rather than lack.
I look forward to the journey with you, do let me know how you are getting on in your pursuits.
Stay blessed and be a blessing.

Season 2 - Creating in Faith - Happy
Happy
What would you say your general mood is from day to day? Sometimes there are external things that can allow
to have an impact on our overall mood and we then respond to things in a
negative way. Does that mean that we scan
not be happy despite what is going on around us? Can you have an argument about something and
still be in a happy frame of mind? Listen to the Podcast
Going through an electrical and water outage at the same
time over a period of 8 hours really helped me put things into
perspective. It isn’t until these things
are gone do you really appreciate what you could do when you had them, how much
you depend on them and what impact not being able to do the things that you
took for granted would have.. All of our
appliance ran out of charge and we were then faced with reading, writing and
having a conversation rather than all having our heads in a screen of varying size
– which despite no lights I appreciated the pause.
I was reminded that I love writing and it is something that
I have kept up, but I was also able to get on with some writing that I really
needed to focus on but never found the time.
We just had to find a way to make it work for us, without getting
annoyed that the lights went off, as that wouldn’t have solved anything and we
would still be without light and water.
It brought back memories of being a child and the lights
going out and our big sister would make it fun, - back then you did more things
together as a family, without the distractions of the computer screen and the
tv (which only had 4 channels)! We were
always able to look at things from a different perspective which didn’t have
stress attached to it. We knew the
lights would come back eventually so we did something else until it did.
Is happy your constant state of being, happy within
yourself, your state of mind, not looking at what you think things should be,
knowing who you are and what you stand for.
Things don’t always have to go the way that we expect -and we know that
we are the creators of our own reality. Don’t expect others to ‘make’ you happy
or feel that it is your duty to ‘make’ someone else ‘Happy’ – it is not your
responsibility to make others happy.
Take a moment and consider how you are feeling at the
moment, think about whether you are in a happy state of being, check out the
Art Journal page video, and the monthly Journal that you can join me in making
and see if you are further inspired in your journey.
