travels.

I am getting ready for a journaling workshop I am teaching in two weeks, and picking up a travel journal from two years ago was like getting together with an old friend for coffee.

 I have not opened this one in a while, and it was so cool to see things I had dreamed about and hoped for just two short years ago that now are actual realities in my life! (having a studio, for one.)

and a very favorite quote of mine that I have not read for a while: "The secret is that words create the Universe, and we control the words."

Here are 5 random pages from this journal, it is not large (about 5" x 7") and is mostly bound calender pages, magazine pages, music paper and other miscellaneous scraps from the paper pile. I gessoed the pages to give them some heft, then just added lots of ephemera. Then wrote words here and there. I probably could do lots more painting, or doodling, or stamping in this one, but for now, here are some of the pages I like:





"Whatever relationships you have attracted in your life at this moment, are precisely the ones you need in your life at this moment. There is a hidden meaning behind all events, and this hidden meaning is serving your own evolution." --Deepak Chopra

  2. Hello! I love your blog! May I know where the quotes in these pages come from? Like 'movement is medicine' and 'the secret is that words create the universe, and we control the words'?
    Thanks!

  3. Hi Lalav -- if I know where the quote is from I credit it. If there is no author, then I don't know the author. I do remember that words quote is something I heard in a workshop, and the movement quote might be something that came to me while doing yoga. . . . thanks for your question!
