 : NEWSLETTER ARCHIVE Happy February - February 7, 2006 amanobooks.com february newsletter
Hi there fellow journalers! I hope this new year is treating everyone well so far. February brings us valentines day and thoughts of spring. I will enjoy the chill as long as I can, but will welcome the signs of spring that are already popping up. I love winter and cozying up under blankets with some coffee, a good book and a journal of course! Bridgette Guerzon Mills News Love Is In The Air How fitting that as Valentines Day approaches, I have news about artwork and an article that I wrote appearing in the magazine Somerset Wedding Volume 2. Somerset Magazine is an art magazine that showcases the art of paper and mixed media. I'm excited to announce that my wedding invitation was selected as well as the Ring Nest that I created to take the place of the traditional Ring Pillow. See the ring nest here at my art blog
"For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin -- real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way. Something to be got through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life." ~Father Alfred D'Souza Fun fact: The word "journal" comes from the French word "jour", which means day. The wonderful thing about journaling is that the writing down of the events of our lives forces us to focus on the details of our lives. Details that often get lost in the haziness of our memories. It's an interesting mental shift to think of everyday as a journey. Where can this shift take you? How do you spend your days? How would you like to spend your days? What would your "perfect day" look like. Write about this... "Your journey has molded you for your greater good, and it was exactly what it needed to be. Don't think that you've lost time. There is no short-cutting to life. It took each and every situation you have encountered to bring you to the now. And now is right on time." ~ Asha Tyson
