Wishing and Knowing

I am a collaborator … and a story-scribe. That is why I have invited art journaling friends to share images from their art journals. Some posts will include glimpses into their stories, favorite quotes or inspirations — but the focus of this series is visual expression {collage, doodles, painting, photography, music, etc.}. The mission of this series is to present a wide variety of art journal pages — different styles and media, utilized by women from a wide variety of personal beliefs and backgrounds.

Because planning and dreaming {envisioning} what we want for our {wild and precious} lives begins with creative expressions {and excavations}, Braveheart. And our choice of expression is unique and specific to each of us … Dare to experiment with various artistic techniques and discover what you enjoy, what expressions “feel” right for you — what allows you to creatively remove layers and uncover your dream seeds. ~stargardener

I hate being the girl who doesn’t say what’s on her mind.

I just wish I could say it. Tell you exactly what I think.

I wish it didn’t feel like setting myself up

just to be broken again.

I wish I knew it would all turn out right.

But maybe it IS about taking the leap

And knowing just because it may not turn out ‘right’

doesn’t mean it won’t all turn out okay.

It’ll all work out how it’s supposed to.

(i wish I would listen to the part of me saying,

it will all turn out okay)

.: about Shelby — I’ve never been one to go along with the expected. I broke that cycle of a terrible life before the cycle began. Aerodynamically, the bumblebee shouldn’t be able to fly, but the bumblebee doesn’t know it, so it keeps flying anyway. Statistically, I should not be where I am today. But I am. I’m loud and silly. I love my family and friends. I am most simply a soul, trying to navigate a world of other souls all broken and in need of love. {Shelby’s Blog}
