A NEW JOURNEY

My goal for 2016 was to create an art journal and I was off to a fairly good start when I received news that the cancer I conquered last year had returned.  So I am off on a new journey to beat this by enjoying my family, friends, surroundings and making the most of each day as I receive treatment. This time I may get to keep my hair.

As you can see I am not an artist, never could draw and the idea of my journal is to put my thoughts, ideas and techniques down on paper.  I am also entering this in Art Journal Journey, Lets Play and
Create Every Day.

I think you need to keep a journal because if this page is like any other you would make, it is going to be so good for you. I think you are an artist. My brother's wife has been battling cancer for years now, and there are good days and bad days. But you have to keep with life and fighting, and if an art journal helps, then do it. This is a great page. Hugs-Erika

Oh Carolyn, I'm so sorry to hear about your fight with cancer. It won't be easy I'm sure, but I believe that you are a true fighter. Please don't say that you are not an artist. I think that your journal page is lovely. It shows your fight and the strength that you have within you. It also shows that you're vulnerable (and is NOT a bad thing) and yet very strong. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your art, I find it very touching.
Wishing you all the best on your journey and I would love to see more journal pages of yours.
Hugs,
Michelle ♥
