finding my true colors

Unlike myself, these journal pages have reached a certain state of acceptable completion, the kind that conveys enough of the real deal.




I want to find my true colors and feel that carefree joy once again, which means I have to be willing to shed the armor of avoidance. Feel the joy in life and start marching to that beat...get on that road to just living, breathing and being the real me, each and every day!





To anyone out there who's had your color held captive, your joy stepped on and your beating heart bruised...I suggest this: Shed that armor, throw it all off now! Live each day looking for color and joy! Breathe in and out with big breaths and march off down the joyful, colorful road that is yours alone...

{note this}
For your blogging pleasure I've included a scan which can't scan in full but comes in closer and a camera shot which in fact can get the whole picture, but it's just not close enough! What is the solution to that anyhow? Advice needed!

Hi Michelle,
your pages are absolutely beautiful! I like the one with the butterflies especially.

Hi Michelle,

I hopped over here from Soul Journaling. I do believe we are all works in progress and enjoy the task immensely.

I had to enlarge your page to get the full power of the journaling but I would say marching down the path to your (our) own beat has its rewards. Thanks for this great page.

PS - I feel that in this world I will hang on to my armor, but instead of viewing it as something applied I will hold it like my turtle shell, it has value and protection when I need it, but not when my head is up and I'm marching along.

I love your journaling and the art. One of the most rewarding reasons to belong to the soul journaling group is the opportunity to see work and insight like yours. Thank you so much for sharing it!
