Art, Heart and Healing has been-just that....healing. We started out writing all our negative feelings and thoughts that our inner critic says about us (I had a whole page...and I could have kept going. Sad!) and gessoed over them and then we made our page "beautiful". Tam is a miracle worker, I must say. It felt good going over all of my crap with gesso...and then thinking about it and trying to turn around my negative statements into something positive. I find that I think badly about myself unconsciously...but now that I am aware of it I am going to try and turn it around before I let it in.
How do you handle the mean voices in your head? We all have them you know....
And I will add these words to the picture...
This is my positive statement to myself. What is your affirming statement for "yourself"?
I am totally looking forward to week 2...we will be painting a board book. How exciting!!! I can't wait :)

Hi Lisa, sounds like you are doing some serious healing! The artwork is so beautiful! I love how you worked through those negative thoughts and the gesso swooned over them and turned it into 'beauty'.
I handle those negative voices in my head with prayer. I take my negative thoughts and I pray through them to God and amazingly enough He simply does a swooning over my eyes, my heart and my soul and the world and myself turns beautiful, I love the words, "I make everything new" that Jesus said and it's true just like those negative thoughts, you made something beautiful over them. God does that for me.
I truly love the colors you used very warm colors!!! pink represents love and I love you very much isn't it wonderful to be loved...
For me the most positive affirming statement has been, 'My God, My All' because He fills me with His beauty, He is the paint and I am the page.
I can't wait to see what a board book is?
Big love and hugs and I love to see your work!!!!!
Hi Lisa,
beautiful art, there is such sadness in her eyes of the girl. Of course stay the way you are you are beautiful of heart and soul.
for my negative thoughts I must say for me I do turn to my Father who is Jesus and He never lets me down ever ever. I hope everyone can find that someday. Once you know this it is a grace that comes over and it truly is unbelievable and that is where my negative goes to then I feel great and go on my day.
my positive affirmation is I am just beginning to use 'In the name of Jesus I always say that when I am in need for Him to come or when I am in turmoil or with difficult people. but honey, I am still mommmy and I love you
