Add some colors

Butterflies have always fascinated me, so much so that I have always been in awe of these magnificent beings. They often drift into my art journals and always give me a sense of hope and wonder.

Blind Contour

Blind contours are a fun way to train your hand to your eyes. It’s quite a simple exercise but once you get hooked to it, it will engross you a lot. I can assure you. Hope you will follow along and create some Blind contour Selfies! Have fun 🙂

Count your blessings today

When we sit down and count our blessings and realize what all we have to thank for, life seems amazing all of a sudden. Gratitude is not only for things that we have but also for all the life situations that have made us stronger, life teaches some awesome lessons, and we are free to grab them as we go.

Did you count your blessings today? Feel free to print this and fill it up. You might want to frame it and put out there too 🙂

And we became friends for life!

I met Jealousy the other day. She had that look in her eyes. She was mocking at me. I felt a tightness. I smiled. I took a deep breath. I waved at her and looked the other way.

I felt the shift. I felt light. I moved on. The energy moved. It made way for something light. The tightness was no longer there. There was only lightness.

We often cross paths.

Sometimes I invite her in and she stays. Like any visitor she is there for a bit and then continues on her path.

There was a time, long ago, when Hatred was a daily guest. She was like a ball of fire. I could only see red. Shades of yellow sometimes appeared. They faded away but returned with the same vigor.

She brought her sister once, Regret. I let her overstay. She taught me a lot. Somehow I lost her on the way. In fact I lost them both on the way somewhere when Hope showed up.

I don’t really miss them. They are gone for good!

Kindness finds her way into my garden often.

She makes me see the rose buds, the fluttering butterflies and the birds flying freely above. That is if I happen to look above and beyond the ordinary. I leave the door open for she might pop in anytime. She has a key to enter anyway. I don’t want to take chances. She nudges me to relax and fills me with the energy of the entire sky. The energy to let it all go and embrace the Isness.

Today, when I went outside to water the plants I met with Gratitude and Joy. They were both so beautiful! As beautiful and fragrant as the flowers.

I guess I ended up watering my soul! And we became friends for life.

Daily art journaling ~ Day 55

Feel the feel and let it go, push it away with a gentle blow…let it tug and let it nudge but don&you budge…inhale…exhale…
