Love in Motion (Love for You and Me)

Here's another bit of sweetness and light from my paintbrush on canvas to your eyes. I will call this one, Love in Motion (Love for You and Me), Copyright 2008 by Sheryl Brown, All Rights Reserved. My thought here is that we need to love ourselves in order to love others most effectively.

Tomorrow I'm going to have an expert art printer scan Cloud Dance, for the purpose of ordering some copies made. This will be my first foray into professional artistdom. That will make such a difference from these home photo-ed versions. The reproductions will be so much more like the original paintings.

I am thrilled to be taking this step to making my art available to others, and my earnest intention is that they will bring hope and healing to you and yours.

For sure, they bring me a great deal of comfort and inspiration!

Let me know if you would like to make an order. Call 425 652-1413 or email me at sheryl@sunraycounseling.com .

Ideas for Journaling

I often recommend the use of journaling to my clients. But some people have an automatic knee jerk, kinda negative response to journaling per se.

Here is one idea that could break loose the log jam of "I don't wanna--don't feel like it--can't--tried it, hated it" feelings you may have had yourself.

1. First, just grab a blank sheet of paper and write down all the questions you have on a chosen subject. For example, you may be looking at a relationship problem. Just write down all the questions that pop into your mind that have any connection.

2. The next step (which you may choose to do on another occasion after your mind has had a chance to let the questions percolate) (or ferment, whichever metaphor tickles you more!) is to pick just one question, and write whatever comes into your mind. You may use the tactic of imagining your friend has come to you for advice on this.

Let me know if you try this, and what kind of success you have, or what better ideas come to you!
