As Paris writes about “Finding Strength in Mirrors” ~ I find that it has been a long journey to finally take time to immerse myself in “being an artist”. In 6th grade, my artist had begun to emerge & was “mirrored” by my art teacher. She selected a piece of my artwork for a System wide exhibit of students’ art. I was thrilled. My parents, though, for whatever reasons, never acknowledged this and never went to the exhibit ~ I rode my bike over to the High School to see the exhibit. This left a “life impression” on me. It took many years and a signifcant death to finally listen to myself and my spirit & begin to paint. I began with pastels ~ Still self sabotaging & working on “getting my artist” out there into the world ~ Some work is now is a couple of local shops & lots on my blogs ~ http://artmusedog.blogspot and http://acreativeharbor.blogspot.com
I am pondering finding an art teacher & immersing myself in some instructions ~ Need to decide on medium ~ Thanks, Amy, for suggesting this book & providing the opportunity to “discuss” this book. Namaste, Carol

Yep…crazy days are already here. Good news about your back. I did the same as you many years ago, and it worked. I did however have back surgery 4 years ago and have really been pain free for the first time in my adult life. So many advancements in back surgery just in case you ever do have to go that route. But, I was interested in your leg cramps….mine have been horrendous for several months…on medication for it and have EMG scheduled in Dec. Doc thinks a nerve is involved….may be back to square one!! Dang…you are organized. Inspires me!

Hi Carol,

Glad you received your book and have started reading it. Yes, the book does grab you in the first few pages. I can’t help but feel like Dr. Paris is looking in my head and putting my thoughts down on paper…I can relate to so much of the content.

Hi Debbie,

It was nice seeing you again at Lindly’s workshop. I started playing with some colors this week. It was really liberating to know I could mix some colors and a little bit of mud and create a really cool custom color. Such fun!
