Soul Journal - Beginning the Journey

Somehow I stumbled upon Sarah Whitmire's blog, Caspiana, this weekend. She has come up with the most amazing concept she calls Soul Journaling. She is journaling along with us, and you can see the first post here. I decided to play along...here's my journal.



I neglected to photograph the first day's assignment, which was to take your journal, paste dictionary pages on the first 3 pages, then journal on the pages for 5 minutes. Honestly, I just journaled till I had filled the pages, and I used a big fat Sharpie to do my journaling so it filled up the pages quickly! We were to start each thought with "Today I feel" and fill in the rest. It's funny the myriad of feelings I have every day and hardly realize it.

The next day's task was to dry-brush gesso over all the journaling. It was quite liberating (actually I knew it was coming because I got started on day two so I journaled quite honestly).

Okay, I so blurred it so no one could see what I'd written! Private stuff here, guys! Now the fun begins! We had to gather all our favorite writing tools, and write "This book belongs to" and then write our names over and over and over. The assignment was actually to write full names, but I loathe my full name so I only wrote it once. The coloring, glittering, doodling, all kinds of fun stuff came next! Check it out!

As I said earlier, I'm a day behind, but luckily the third task spans two days, so I will be able to catch up. Looking for a knight or something to paste in the book - you'll have to wait till tomorrow to see!

Till next time...Cheeka
