More and more I'm realizing that if you want to learn how to do something, especially something like this....you have to practice, practice, practice....and then practice some more, until you get it. And then you have to keep practicing to develop your own style. I have a long way to go, but I'm totally into it now. The key will be finding enough time to practice and to do more classes while I'm still journaling. Rumble on.
Staying off the rumblestrip...that's what it's all about, right? This is where I come to record what feeds my creative soul and calms my "monkey mind": art journaling, mixed media, jewellery making, upcycling, yoga, meditation, reiki, and anything else that simplifies my life and/or is happy making. Daily life and current ruminations find their way here as well.

Fabulous Faces - Assignment # 1
I finished my first assignment and I'm so happy with it! I think it's way better than the previous one that I did while watching the class video. Here it is...

Getting Off The Ground
It seems like I've been trying to start a blog forever, waiting for takeoff. I started with ThoughtJamVillage, which never got off the ground. I neglected it totally despite good intentions, but this past year and a half has been just too busy and stressful, and my time too fragmented to be able to get it up and running. Family comes first and we've been through a lot....we're still going through a lot. I'm back now, however, and determined to establish a blog where I can regurgitate all the "stuff" I'm working through and all the new "stuff" I'm learning. RUMBLESTRIP came from a wonderful article by Martha Beck in a recent issue of "O" magazine. I like the magazine but I have to say I buy it primarily because I love Martha Beck. She has a way of getting down to the nitty gritty that speaks to me in a BIG way. Her advice is always dead on and I feel like she's written almost every article specifically for me. That makes her special in my book. We all hit the rumblestrip occasionally in life - some of us a lot more than others, and my life has been one continuous rumblestrip now for about six to ten years. I won't go into it, but I'm sure bits and pieces will come up here and there as time goes on. So Rumblestrip it is.
So here I go...off on a blogging journey which will take me....who knows where....? Please feel free to comment and share your rumblestrips and/or wild adventures if you should drop by.
