P is for Passionate

I am passionate about my creativity, spending time experimenting, creating new things from old and new, capturing the essence of something with paints, pencils anything that can make a mark.  I am passionate about spending time on my blogs, it has become a way of life talking about what I am getting up to, sharing with an on line community my experiences.
I am also passionate about my family, spending time with them, caring and sharing the ups and downs, our relationships and the memories that we create together, my faith, relationship with God and my spiritual walk and taking the time to understand what my specific purpose in life is and that I get the time and the space to think on those things and leave a positive mark on the world.  I came across a great website called It Starts With Us. and they encourage you to make one small difference (15 minutes or less)  each week to the life of someone else,

Take a look at this video and their site for further information. What are you passionate about?

O is for Open

When growing up, I always told my son that he needed to be open to new experiences, to try something new, have a new experience and really live the life he had been given.  Of course I don't want him to be open to try those things that could actually bring him harm, and there has to be a balance.  

It is the living of your life that helps form your view of the world, to see the richness of your environment and learn about different cultures, see the whole of the world and not just the house and the surrounding streets that you were born, and the local shops that you visit.  I know people who are afraid to drive outside the area they live limiting themselves to seeing things in new ways.  Today I celebrate being open and adventurous and look forward to the many things I have yet to experience and see of this world.

N is for News!

I wanted to share some great news and what better place to share it.

http://www.artherapyexhibition.co.uk/uploads/1/4/0/0/14004439/header_images/1361145171.jpg 

A while ago I submitted two pieces of art for selection in an exhibition about art therapy, and they have both been accepted.

Here is a sneak peek at a section of the two paintings.

The exhibition is called Art and Healing and explores how art psychotherapy and creativity can have a positive effect on health and well-being.  There are a range of artists, art therapists and their clients who have use art in a therapeutic way.
