Hi, I'm Louise and thank you so much for visiting me here. I am a mixed media artist, who is passionate about combining the healing energy of nature and color with the meditative process of mandala making
I took the Big Dreams Small Wonders course last fall, and it was amazing. Even though the outward changes aren’t visible yet, the inward changes are just beginning.
1.). The one thing I am most proud about is getting back into a routine journaling. I used to keep a journal daily and stopped for so long. I really feel that it was good for my soul and I am glad to be getting back to it.
2.). I haven’t really thought much about celebrations, but I always feel a nice glass of wine is a fantastic reward!
3.). Definitely did not have a theme for January, at least not a clear one, but if I had to pick one, it would have been “restarting and reconnecting.”
4.). My biggest obstacles were setting aside time to reflect. I have so little time during the day that I have to schedule it in. Even then it’s difficult.
5.). Intentions and focus are to tap deeper into my creative side by participating in online creative challenges as well as keeping up with consistent journaling. I’m really wanting to get to know my true self and desires, and I hope that these exercises will bring me closer to that every day.
