Taking a Wrong Turn
It seemed like today was going to get off to a good start. Then I learned my ex-partner was back in town. I am really resentful since I brought him to Maine and helped him get established. Everything was a lie. Now he is back with someone else who is believing his lies. It seems lately everything is wrong (like the REM song). Work is getting crazy. The best people are leaving. We have had nine so far since the beginning of summer. Why doesn't administration get the hint staff are not satisfied w… Continue

Reflection #1
I started the day of a bit giddy and very light and happy. By the end of the day, I was feeling a sadness from deep within. There has been so much that has happened this year, mostly not in a good way. Last night was a good night though. I began to prepare a visual journal and collage materials for a few projects. It has been a long time since I have felt the creative spirit. I have always loved Soul Cards, and I feel these will help my Muse wake from her fitful slumber.

- Hi Jill, You contacted me in August and I apologize for not getting back to you sooner; you were wondering about what I do art therapy wise with autistic children. I no longer work with children but now working with adults with developmental disabilities. If you want more info. about what I do with them, contact me directly. My e-mail address is magic-art@comcast.net. Thanks Anne

- Hi Jill,
Nice to hear from you. I am loving my work with the therapeutic harp and seem to be drawn to Hospice work with it. That work has also opened a new venue for Touch Drawing as I am finding the staff at the Hospice need some down time and something to do that gets their emotions out but at the same time leaving them feeling peaceful and processing what they have been doing with others. Welcome to the world of TD - Deborah changed my life several years ago by showing me her healing process and now I am able to continue to find ways to heal myself and others because of her wonderful spirit of sharing. Good Luck in your life and if you move back to North Carolina I hope you will get in touch. Peace, Tinky

- Hi Jill,
Thanks for your e-mail. Montville is between belfast (20 miles) and Augusta (30miles). Blue hill is about an hour or so from here. Yes, let's talk further about a possible touch drawing workshop or assisting you doing one! Would that be with staff at your school? I find the touch drawing very supportive on a deep personal level. i love doing it for my own process. it would be good to meet sometime.
blessings,
susan

Penny Boyle said… - Hi Jill,
It never ceases to amaze me how I pick a soul card and then something happens during the day that makes the meaning "pop" out from Spirit. I selected a card that portrayed a person's face with a white bird, maybe a dove, coming out from the person's mouth. That day I got a very persistent and pesky phone call from a salesperson trying to convince me to buy his wares for a good cause. I reluctantly agreed and felt awful for the rest of the day. I am in no position financially to buy things that I don't need. Later that evening, as I sat down and happened to look at the card that I set upon my table, it hit me..., the card was saying, "Speak your truth with kindness." And that I did. I called the salesperson back, canceled my order, even though it was for a good cause, and told him kindly that I was not interested. I felt empowered and my little inner child felt supported by me!!! Just thought I'd share!
Love,
Penny

- Hi Jill,
I just joined this site too. I have not yet tried touch drawing, but can't wait to try. I purchased a set of the soul cards and find them remarkable. It seems that when I randomly select a card from the deck, my soul is choosing it to communicate an important message. I would love to share with you! Thanks for the message and I look forward to hearing back from you!
Love,
Penny
