Creating in Faith - The Faith to Create - Spirited - Episode 180



Welcome to Episode 180 of the Podcast, the Episode today is titled Spirited





The video for this month with the Art Journal will be ready this week and if you want to play along in an Art Journal that you either are making from scratch, finishing off or from a shop brought one.  There is no pressure, just want to get you to take the time for yourself to be creative.

You can also think about how the words for this month speak to you and how they impact on the goals you are setting for yourself.

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. 

If you would like to see some behind the scenes, images and additional tips HERE

You will find the 2 art journal videos available to consume at your leisure - the Making of the art journal for the month and an art journal page process - Check these out HERE

Happy New Year - What You Got Planned for 2020



Happy New Year - So we are into the New Year and we have to hit the ground running so that we can get the things that we want to do done.

This was my message last year, a call to reflect and look at what we are going to do as we take the next steps.  You have an amazing life ahead of you and you just need to start taking the steps, start small, cause you have got this!




I hope that you have already started and not waited until the 1st January to get things into gear, but that you have been thinking over the past few months what your new direction should be.

Listen to the video and see what you think, join me on the journey, your journey to making the changes you want to see in your own life.



Let me know what you have decided to make your priority for 2020, it doesn't have to be a long list, just start with this month or even this week

If you have not yet checked me out on Patreon I would love you to come and see what I am working on over there

Stay blessed and be a blessing
