Forgiveness Is Hard To Practice March 11, 2013

Hi All!

There's a lot going on this week. I'm starting a new giveaway to celebrate my birthday which was last week. I didn't do the week long series this year as I did last year.  I've started a new business.I'm finally able to practice forgiveness  in the situation below.


forgive photo: Forgive forgive.jpg


  I'm finally starting to see improvement in my health after being hit from behind by an SUV as I was crossing the street. (Yes, I was in the crosswalk and had the light). As you can imagine this has been as much a trial mentally as it has physically. I'm a firm believe in the law of forgiveness. Yet this situation has been especially hard for me. This happened right after the election.  There was so much craziness after the election.  Witnesses didn't understand how he could not see me. As I lay face down on the ground I heard someone screaming at the driver (my heroine), "how could he not see me".  I'm 5'8.5" inches tall, so I'm not a small target. My physical therapy realizing how much being hit was affecting my recovery kept working with me to mentally release my anger and hostility. After all it was only hurting me and the driver had probably gone on his merry way.

As I finally began to heal and the doctors started getting the things done that they should , I've been in a lighter mood and have been able to release my anger. I'm taking one last MRI and then no more. I'm going to start glowing in the dark from all the radiation I've been exposed to from x-rays, MRI's and cat scans. I am well aware that thoughts are things and this anger was manifesting in my body and slowing down my progress. Knowing and practicing something can be a trial, so I had to get out of my own way to move forward.

I'm starting the giveaway Tuesday March 12, 2012 at 1: 30 AM. Check in for your chance to win a great prize.

As to my new business venture you can click here.

Have a great day and make the best of this week.

1001 Journals Project Scottsdale

Hi All!


My local library in Scottsdale in conjunction with the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art hosted and exhibition called the 1001 Journals Project. The journals were blank pages and the public was invited to fill in whatever they wanted.  The idea behind 1001 Journals is similar to your 1000 Journals project —whose aim was get sketchbooks into the hands of artists, who then either fill the journals themselves or pass them along to others to complete. Brian Singer then transitioned this into the 1001 project to get journals in to the hands of everyday people.


Hospitals were the first to come on board putting the journals into the hands of kids and teenagers. Cultural centers and museums picked up the idea and offered them to the public. Scottsdale came on board and added workshops with theirs to teach the public different art techniques.  Their project was titled the 100 Journal project. My daughter and I attended several of the work shops and the skill levels of the instructors was very high.


100 journals were put out on tables, seating areas and stand high tables. Pencils, colored pencils paints and markers were put out all around the room so the public could get creative. And creative the were.
Reading through the journals was a wonderful experience in humanity. I remember one entry where a woman with kids stated she was in an abusive relationship  and didn't have a way out. The prayers, information, and offers of help to this woman were heartwarming. Folks did art work from drawing of aliens to Matisse type paintings , poems , memes, musings and all points in between. The staff had papered the walls with entries from the journals. One small section had political statements. A staffer told me Republicans and Democrats would come in and each would complain that the comments were too liberal  or too conservative. Smile

The bulbs are fiber yarn and are huge. The instructor had on a bracelet made of fiber balls. I asked her if it was solid or hollow. She stated it was solid and we laughed about her being compulsive because each fiber "bead" would have required many hours of winding.


Overview of the gallery

One of the walls of the Gallery covered with journal pages.


The page was produced at a workshop


A reception was held after the last workshop to close out the project. the public was invited. The library allowed those who attended the reception and wanted to take a journal home to do so.
The first two photos are courtesy of the Scottsdale Library. If you would like more info regarding the journal project you can contact the library here ; contact Scottsdale Room, Scottsdale Civic Center Library, Scottsdale, AZ 85251, phone 480-312-7323      


Scottsdale Arizona is known for its emphasis on the arts. The City pours a lot of money into the arts from the Peter Solis "Bridge" to the murder mystery my daughter participated in last night. The 100 journals project was one of their best efforts.

If you have enjoyed projects like this in your city or what to share what your thoughts on the project leave a message.


Thanks,
Michelle
