Maybe what inspires me, might inspire you or at least make you pause for a second. I like to share things, from ideas to experiences to discoveries. I've always been resourceful as it has been labeled and I like to think of it as a gift, that I should share. It can be a take it or leave it kind of approach.
I've been called a Rebel (all bark and no bite), out of the box thinker, eclectic, or maybe is was eccentric, sort of the same thing isn't it? If you've ever had a conversation with me you know that I have a habit of digressing, which I think is another one of my endearing qualities. I can't help wanting to share all this stuff. So to make these journal entries easier to follow (at least easier than one of my verbal conversations, unless you are highly trained) the different "SoMe" tabs on the side will sort my thoughts. I hope that they help inspire, motivate, add reflection and maybe a chuckle to your day.

Just let it Flow -Smash Journaling

art from healing arts journaling


A thought, a song, a ticket, or maybe a gum wrapper, they all tell a story, about a moment in our life.

I invite you to watch this very fun inspiring video that a girlfriend told me about, free form journaling, then go out and pick up a book that will work for you, or maybe you have something floating around the house and start journaling.

Once a week I am going to do a specific theme that will touch on things that would maybe not come up in everyday conversation with my kids.  Hopefully this will become a keepsake, or memoir, perhaps a best seller...just joking around... or the kids might think it's the alter ego of their mom, but either way it will give them a little glimpse of the person they will hopefully get to know when they realize that there's a little more than one dimension.

The topics will range from anything to a first date, to what was a favourite Halloween costume, to what the kids might be when they get older, to what happiness is.  As you will see in the video it's a free and fun for all in putting these journals together.  So if you have some topics that you think would be fun to journal please send them this way and I'll add them to the list.  I'll be putting a tab for the journal on this page and keep adding to it.  Here is the video, enjoy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmaWY7Wk0qA
