MESSAGES
abstract watercolor
Well it’s the last day of AEDM, what a wonderful magical month it’s been.
I want to thank everyone who joined me on this journey.
I decided to look back at my daily creations to see what they had to tell me.
I really believe art can be messengers and messages from your
inner guidance/higherself/angels/subconscious.
So what did all these art beings have to tell me?
They reminded me that I love:
cardinals
garden cottages by the sea
soup
charming main streets
quiet night breezes
They reminded me that my true self is:
Queen
I’m as strong as the wind
and I can be a shapeshifter if I choose
They reminded me that:
fairies are everywhere
especially in the forest
and fairies need special places to dream
angels are everywhere in disguise
there are beautiful landscapes on other worlds
guardians are around us in many forms
trees are sometimes lonely
and flowers love to dance
They reminded me that a good way to live is to:
follow your heart and intuition
enjoy the journey
some days just float
walk through doors in strange forests
find color in grey
create childlike things
love your own unique beauty
love yourself no matter what
be here
emerge
always create
find your tribe
They told me not to forget that:
gratitude will make everything beautiful
beauty is everywhere
and there is always light to be found
And they reminded me sometimes you just need to
breathe and look at the night stars.
Thank you all
I really like this piece and the creativity you brought forth this month - great work

WOW - I came to congratulate you for making it all the way through and just had to sit back and let this sink in. I'm going to share it on my FB - this is poetry of the highest order!
"trees are sometimes lonely" absolutely takes my breath away (I have a thing for trees. This opened up a new way of seeing them. Thank you so much!)

These really are such wonderful things to be reminded of, and in reminding yourself you have reminded us. I began my blog in September looking for beauty and I have found so much on yours! Thank you Julie. I will certainly be looking out for more from you.

Ah, Thank YOU Julie. It's great to sit back at the end of a project and see how you've grown, what you've learned and re-learned. I'm pleased you've decided to keep going with the 'little and every day' approach to art, and especially that you've derived such personal benefit and enjoyment from AEDM this year.
