Part 27 SHUT YOUR EYES AND SEE
Part 35:
Well, here we are! 35 days of journaling. Feel free to expand on the exercises. Feel free to copy and share. Feel free to say, “Fuck you, I hate these, I’m going my own way!” But I do encourage you to continue a daily relationship with your journal. It is YOU.
Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.
– Eleanor Roosevelt
Today, just play.
Personally, I have processed a lot in these exercises, and have come quite a ways in addressing my fears and anxieties. Journaling is not necessarily about solutions or cures, but it is about process and tools. And it’s addictive.
I fall back on this journal just as some other poor devil takes to drink.

Here are some of my favorite books on journaling:
Artists’ Journals and Sketchbooks: Exploring and Creating Personal Pages by Lynne Perrella
Art Journals and Creative Healing: Restoring the Spirit Through Self-Expressionby Sharon Soneff
Creative Awakenings- envisioning the life of your dreams through art by Sheri Gaynor
My next series will be about ARTISTS– one artist a week for 10 weeks- and we use that artist as a starting point for personal exploration.
