My Naked Journal

Greetings my Creative Ghosts!


I finished a handmade journal from an idea I read in Kelly Rae's book Taking Flight. 


I had a lot of fun making this. I wanted to really connect with my spirit on a deep level. 


I am usually making art for other people but I thought it was important to make something 
for myself that I could use. 


I titled it Naked because I feel that the more I expose myself and the desires of my heart the closer I get to my true nature. 


 As I painted this, I pictured myself flying with Angels who were trying to help me find my wings. I pictured myself uninhibited by negative thoughts, fears or clothing. I felt free. 


I laughed and I cried and then I closed my eyes...when I opened them again I realized I was flying. 




This journal will carry the songs of my heart and my inner most desires. It will not be like any other journal I have written.  




I hope that in some ways this journal will be like vision board to help remind me of my creative power to physically manifest my dreams.


I am off to write in my newly created journal.

Hi Linda. Thank you for your comment. I loved creating this. I found some books at the dollar store for yes 1 dollar each and painted away. I hope it inspires you to make your own.
