Weekly Creative Wellness
Hello!
I hope you are having a peace filled holiday season. My next podcast will be coming in January due to schedule changes in December and our icy weather postponing a meeting. Stay tuned!

I hope you are filling this time of year with many options for self care. It's an honor to be a part of your journey. Be kind to yourself.

Warm wishes,
Beth Ann

Remember enjoy the process and let go of the product.  
Life is process...life is art. :)



Art Journal Prompt
This week choose a color that you connect with peace and create a journal entry using only that color. Collage images should add to the theme.

Explore using collage and words and then add mixed media to add layers and pull things together...let your process guide you.  Journaling is an ideal place to honor your process.  Listen to your body, mind and spirit. During the process take care of your needs. Take breaks if you  need to. 

If you'd like to share your  final piece EMAIL ME a JPEG and I will post it to inspire others!
 
  
Creative Wellness Resources
Instead of creating a bunch of resolutions that may not be realistic or may add anxiety and stress to your life...here are some wellness resources I have found interesting this week.
Sugar is hidden in 74% of the food in the average grocery store. There are also over 50 different names identifying the stealth sweetener. Are you interested in reducing your own sugar consumption? HERE are some tips.
