first of all . . . .

I just want to say thanks for stopping in and I love you all! Yesterday someone bought a book, and I had a visitor from Qatar! We truly are all connected and I am so honored for your interest in this journaling work. Please make your own voice a priority as you negotiate through a life with so many other stresses -- it ain't easy to make art a priority in this busy life, and just the fact that you are HERE means you have the spark of creativity that honors the creative force that binds us all together - thank you for honoring that urge!
Make a mess, write some words, express yourself!

and speaking of connection - there is a little box off over there to your right - it shows where everyone who has clicked on this page is on the planet, and I just love seeing you come here from all over the globe. I dream of a paper journal that I mail around the world, with each of you adding a page.
IN fact, if this sounds interesting to you - send me an e-mail with your address (but only if you are really serious - you would have to add your art, and mail it along to the next person who might be in a place that requires lots of postage for the book to get there. . . . )
I will make a list of the first ten journalers who want to add pages to a joint book -- and send you all out an e-mail and I will start a group journal that travels around and is filled in by YOU. Then I can post the pages here when it gets back home to me.
Sound cool?
a JOURNALING club!!!!
So e-mail me your address, and I will organize a joint traveling journal.
e-mail me at:

you all are awesome!
