Birthday Gifts

     I've been Art Journaling for about two years now. I have discovered through doing the art and the journaling that I have some dreams and goals I want to achieve. I want to write and dig deep and learn about myself. So since I have a birthday coming up in a few says I thought I would gift myself two courses that would help me get there.

The first is "Dreamers with Intention" run by the lovely ladies at the Secret Rebel Club. These women are honest, fearless, and awesome. I so want to be them when I grow up. Hoping this course will gently push me in the direction of being a bit of a rebel. 

The second gift to myself is this course by Brene Brown. It encompasses art journaling with working thorough Brene Brown's book "The Gift of Imperfection". This is a 6 week course that begins on October 20, 2013.

Where I've been

   Hello there. I'm still here. I had a bit of a setback and couldn't blog for a bit. Inserted in this post should be a picture of my right hand bandaged almost to the elbow. But Blogger is not cooperating and I didn't want to wait any longer to get this post up. I have tendinitis in my right hand along my thumb and forefinger. It was quite painful for awhile and being right handed it made doing even basic things very difficult.
   A curious thing happened while my hand was bandaged. I found myself unable to do certain things and then used that as an excuse to do nothing. Didn't matter if it was something that involved using my right hand or not. I stopped taking my evening walks. I didn't blog. I spent a good week or so just being a vegetable. Watching tv and surfing the net. I don't know if I needed that time to just sit and not think or do anything. I can tell you now that I'm done with that. I have things I want to accomplish and even though my hand isn't totally back to 100% it's time to get moving.
 So I'm back and hope to have another post with pictures if Blogger lets me up in the next few days.
