I have been busy taking an online 6 wk class
from the
taught by
the artist, Melody Ross
with her sister Kathy Wilkins.
It has been amazing so far with
some tough heart work being involved.
We also do art projects but you don't
have to be an artist to take this class.
This is a bookmark I made to go along with
my Altered Art Journals that
I have been creating for my etsy shop.
Melody Ross
gave us a list of truths
and journal entry starters and these were
some of the words from there
that meant so much to me.
I've decoupaged them onto a bookmark.
This class is helping me to look back
at some of the untruths (lies)
I picked up along the way
since just a little girl and have carried
with me to adulthood.
You don't know what lies
you've believed sometimes unless you
get BRAVE and
go back there to take a look.
The wonderful thing about it all is,
that once you
see some of those stuck places caused
by lies you may have believed,
you can then replace them with the
REAL TRUTHS
from your Truthteller
which for me is
GOD my Heavenly Father.

If you hear a voice within you say
"you cannot paint,"
then by all means paint,
" I can't believe that
God put us on this earth to be ordinary. "

You don't have to stay stuck!
You don't have to let those lies
that have kept you stuck,
keep you from being
all you were created to be
and to become.
You don't have to hold back from believing you
can make the dreams in your heart happen.
Actually, you can Fly like you
were meant to do
when you see the truths that God has
planned for you all along.
"Be strong and courageous,
all you who put
your hope in the Lord."

Yes, Yes...I am there with you...and I am flying this year!!
Great Post!!
Oh yes I'll come fly with you!
I can feel my wings too;
just having some issues with
navigation and maybe a little
extra weight on my wings:)
But, like you, I want to be
brave and live out the TRUTH,
not wallow in lies I've believed.
I LOVE your art and am inspired
and encouraged
by your post
as always!
Thanks for the soul sunshine,
Jennifer
I am so proud of you for taking this class....it's so easy to say we just don't have time but you have done it girl.....I really like the book marks...the colors are so cheerful and bright just like you......
I have been trying to post on your blog for two weeks but haven't been able to....I was just about to email you when tonight it came up and I was able to comment...
I've been missing you......
Hugs to you my friend....
Sounds like you are learning a lot little lady. So awesome that you won that amazing class...yay!
Hi LeeAnn!

Great post LeeAnn, as you learn we learn. Bless you for sharing
I love learning new ways of making art : )
You were my 97th follower...and when I came here this morning I saw you had only 96...so...I'm your 97th : )
Have a great day and keep on arting!
so true my friend. I used this "In order to begin to see your life as a whole, you must first take it apart", by Robert Benson in my journaling workshop this Saturday. There are so many truths, and untruths that make up who we are. We need to sort through them don't we.
love your art from your heart!
God definitely put you and your blog in my life. I cannot wait until the journals and the bookmarks are a part of your Etsy shop. I will definitely by one for myself and probably way to many more for gifts.
You speak to my heart.

i really like that quote! I've never heard that one before! I'm flying with you. ;)
Thank you, my encouraging friend! Love the message of hope, and the beautiful art work to go along with it. Going to the past to re-examine can be draining, but so worth it, if only to discover the truth that God will reveal to those who are looking...
Keep shining and flying LeeAnn! I love this Priscilla Ahn song and play it very often when I enter my art room..........what an amazing gift to be here, I agree...Brave girl! XO
