This piece from  Artist Sofia Bonati , was my inspiration this week. The butterflies are what originally caught my eye. I did this on a little scratch piece of paper about 3 x 2. Again I drew the face how I was comfortable. I just did not try to make my butterflies look like butterflies. Maybe I'll go back in there with a marker later. Who knows. xo Alicia

It is not easy to shift your focus back to healing. Especially when life is throwing all kinds of bullshit your way. And its even more of a challenge when the bullshit isn't yours, its just rubbing off on you. Meditation has been an important key to shifting my focus, because I haven't been able to release through exercise. I pinched something in my shoulder area. Not fun. Art journaling is also another form of meditation for me. Off to meditate. xo Alicia

I decided to color this picture because its not something I would normally gravitate to. I uploaded an image of mine to Cafe Press. There is only one design at the moment but a few items you can choose. Here is the link to my shop: AliciaSplendeur xo Alicia
