An Alphabet Story Behind the Art of Colorful Blessings

Sometimes it amazes me how something that seems insignificant ends up being something of meaning and connection. It was like that with these pages. I wanted to be a part of an online Art Journaling group Bernice Hopper invited me to,

An A to Z of Me

. The trouble was, I was so busy, I didn't have time to get out my paints, start a new journal etc. Fortunately, Bernice's groups have the flexibility to go with your own flow. So I decided to do what I could to participate. That meant not doing the techniques, but doing the prompts in my everyday, calendar, Moleskine journal. It turned out to be a great process for me. I learned how to take it with me and work almost anywhere. My supplies and journal all fit into a gallon ziploc bag. It changed how I journaled and how often: more. The same materials are used in coloring now. Go figure...

M is for Mindfulness

K is for Kindness

X is for "X marks the spot"

Here is a link to a post that shows all of the letters in the A to Z of Me art journaling challenge:

We each have a story to tell, and our stories relate to one another. In the Colorful Blessings coloring book, the pages give a glimpse into my story expressed through line. They are waiting to be colored, to connect with your story.

If you purchase and enjoy my coloring book,
