I am a 911 Police and Fire Dispatcher by trade and an artist/writer/blogger/mother by life.
I am attempting to live authentically in every moment.
My favorite hobby/interest is keeping an art journal.
I call my "art journaling" - SOUL JOURNALING. I moved away from the word ART because it is associated in our BRAIN with words like "masterpiece", "pretentiousness", "critique", Michaelangelo! Frida! Matisse! And I automatically shut down what I might do because it will never be worthy.
A lot of people asked me if it is a religious thing. No. The soul is not exclusive to the world's various religious dogma - the Soul merrily exists without religion. Soul Journaling is a way I communicate with a deeper part of who I am, a part I don't give regular voice to because my rational ego brain is always trying to micromanage my life.
The process of Soul Journaling is an exploration. Thought is not linear and rational, it is emotional. I allow my feelings to choose what comes next. I play with my toys until until my soul says "Done!". And then I sit back, look at the work, and allow it to tell my rational brain something that I didn't know or didn't have permission to tell myself.
