Take a day where I rail at my lack of import to a situation most important to me.  Add in a stroke of invention.  Mix liberally with Cate Blanchett in Elizabeth and Elizabeth – The Golden Age.  Get an appointment.  Add a pinch of a favorite quote, "Don't make someone a priority if to them you are only an option."  And you, my friend would be just as ripe for art journaling as I was tonight.

It's messy – but it's real.

And that's all better now.  C'mon – get it all out on a page.  You can gesso over the whole thing if you want to.  But it does feel that much better when it's written in your hand.

I love art journaling.
