Ten years ago I took my first art journaling class and fell in love. I was blown away with how GOOD it felt when I put words, images, poems, quotes, paint and more on paper. Everything I was feeling was now visible. It’s one of the most healing and relaxing forms of therapy I know. Through the years I began to realize not only was this practice helping my mental health but my spiritual health was improving. I found myself speaking to God as I worked.
Looking through my finished pages my Authentic Self began to emerge. My Heart was healing, I was closer to my Creator + I was feeling WHOLE again! I PROMISE you can do this, too! No skill needed! Just lots and lots of Heart.

I met Leslie Ackman many, many years ago. Was friends immediately, but life took us in different directions. Later in life my health turned. Through Facebook I came across Leslie again. She had a journaling class. I started to follow her. I enjoyed art as a child, but lost that passion to everyday life. Leslie helped me through this hard time and continues to help me today. Along with my faith and family, art has helped me get through rough times. Keeps me moving and active. Takes my mind off my pain. It's also a lot of fun.
