			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thank goodness I have had a breakthrough!  Art journalling really is cheap therapy for me.  I have been in a bit of a funk, coming out of it, and then hit by the news that a friend had taken her life, and I have been stuck there.  Aware that it was not the slide into depression that I am always mindful of, but not quite been able to get out of the hole.  I needed to name that hole it appears.</p>
<p>Yesterday&#8217;s art journal spread, helped steel me.  I took the &#8220;Emotional Evolution&#8221;  workshop run by <a href="http://www.joyfulartsstudio.com" target="_blank">Jeniffer Hutchins</a> at <a href="http://www.dirtyfootprintsworkshops.com/2008/09/21-secrets-art-journal-playground.html">21 Secrets</a> and just did a mind dump of everything I was feeling, and it was illuminating.  I felt like I got the the crux of it.  And then I saw the way forward.  And then we got to play.  And discover our maps past our emotional minefields.  That is priceless.  I feel so much clearer.  I don&#8217;t feel like I am getting weighted down now with all the burdens of life. Here is the page&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://defineyourjoy.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/emotional-evolution.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-837" title="Emotional Evolution" src="http://defineyourjoy.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/emotional-evolution.jpg?w=500" alt=""   /></a></p>
<p>Thank goodness.  And today, as we have our first autumnal (I love that word) cold snap, it feels like a cleansing sort of day.  Perfect.  Don&#8217;t you just love the synchronicity of timing, that it feels the perfect time to do this session of 21 Secrets.  And I have to also say, this time around, the classes are ALL fantastic, and are worth tonnes more that the price of the workshop.  Last time around, I felt like I got more than my money&#8217;s worth because there were super fantastic classes, but some were a bit average.  I did feel a bit let down by a coupe of them, but I fully get that was my own expectations on the teacher.  This time around however, each of the classes I have taken have been work the price.  So much to do, and knowing where to start is a bit overwhelming.  But what a blessing to be so overwhelmed by creativity.  I will take ten of that sort of overwhelm please.</p>
