Artful, Creative, and Joyful



1. Lately, I've been continuing my work with the Soul Restoration course. I am really liking it. The above photo is one of the layouts that I've been working on lately. There is something that brings me peace and inspiration when I'm working in my art journal.

2. Potential Art Journaling Class! I am trying to get an art journal class for women in August at Taft Street Coffee. Hopefully, things will work out, and I'll have the opportunity to connect with other creatively-minded women locally. :)

3. Budgeting and Planning for the Summer: I've got some mighty big plans for the summer. I am taking two evening courses which will take up four evenings and half-day on Saturdays. Part of me is sad because of the free time, but it's time for me to take up a new challenge in my life and grow. It's really important for me to start moving on. One will be a drawing class at art school, and the other will be a teacher certification course.

4. Vacation, vacation, vacation: So, I'm staying in town this Memorial day weekend. So this is my staycation. I'm very tempted to make it a four day weekend, though. Then, I've got to purchase my train ticket for my New York/Montreal trip. It's time for me to brush up on my French again. So, I don't get rusty. Book a trip! It's the best way to motivate you to practice a foreign language.

5. Healthy living and lifestyle: Being part of Weight Watchers again for the past month has been very helpful. I've lost about 6 pounds thus far. I think knowing that I have to be weighed by someone else every week and recording what I eat and drink is what makes me accountable. I am also thankful that my boyfriend supports a healthy lifestyle too!

6. Workouts: I'm logging in about 5-6 workouts a week which is good for me. We've signed up to do the Astros 5K on Memorial Day. And, I'm contemplating doing a sprint triathlon in June or August. Just depends on how energized and motivated I feel.
