Sweetness and Light

Today I wanted to unburden my thoughts over the pages of my blog but decided instead, to use some old fashioned restraint on my innermost thoughts. For today I am going to try to keep this page sweetness and light much like the chocolate dipped marshmallows you can see above.

To my mind I am a highly emotional person and find it hard to keep what I am feeling hidden away.  I know that I need to find an outlet for all this and think I have found the answer; which is creative, personal journaling.

I have been thinking about journaling for a while now but felt intimidated by all the fantastic journals I have seen on line and in books. After discovering a wonderful on line course, full of like minded souls I am ready to take the plunge.  I have never attempted journaling before so this is all a whole new experience for me and a different way to express myself with creative media.  I am sure that I will share some of my work with you as I proceed through the course.

Oh, I forgot to say 'Happy November'!  I am off to devour a marshmallow mountain!

* The free workshops I am taking part in can be found at Jennibellie Studio.

  3. Unfortunately I don't like marshmallows - but I like journals and journaling very much and would love to create one too. But I can't even keep up with blogging so fear it will have to be something for my old age! Please share and inspire me Simone!

  10. Hi, Simone. So glad to hear that you're thinking of doing some journaling. I think I've suggested it to you in the past. It doesn't need to be pretty or neat or perfect; that's not the point. It has always helped me to clear my head and free myself from negativity (well, as much as possible).

    I hope the class is good!
