HI Tom!

yes, it’s free! Just follow the links at the bottom for days 1 – 5 and it’s self-directed. I hope it helps.

Cheers,
Amy

I was at work but all the things that I was supposed to do, instead of write them I draw, it was fun and different and my coordinator was so happy with my work!!!! It’s great to do things in a different way!!!!

Such a relaxing activity to let out an exhale at the end of the day. Thanks for day 3!!

I used to like to doodle and draw mazes and that was always soothing to me. I’m teaching my daughter how to draw mazes and we’re both enjoying that. I did some coloring today. I even thought about going outside the lines, but decided against it. Maybe next time!

Hi Susan:

What a great process you spell out of allowing colors and shape to flow from you, uninhibited by judgement. It’s a theme here, isn’t it? Can you invite yourself to do just 5 minutes a day even after the challenge is through? (Or maybe you already do!)

Cheers,

Amy

Laura,

YAY for being “ME,” accessing your power, and mastering you thoughts, feelings, and self-expression through art. That’s what it’s all about. I can choose, it’s a great phrase for all of us. Thanks for sharing it.

🙂 Amy

I used a phrase in my drawing to remind myself that I am always empowered. I just need to open the door and access the power! yay! The phrase was “I can choose.” Then, around the phrase, I played with wavy lines and fun colors. I posted it to the FB page. I continue to be delighted and amazed by the way “doing art” brings me to a place within that feels like ME.

HI Christine:

I’m so sorry you didn’t feel well today. Low spirits for many reasons seem to be going around. It sounds though that you, like Amy who put a journal and a yoga mat next to her desk, were able to find ways to sprinkle breaks of self-care throughout the day. It sounds like it had the desired effect, and I’m so glad.

Thanks for sharing that lovely image with us.

Amy

In between some meetings, I took the opportunity to doodle, and it was fun, bc no one could see me “drawing while I was at work.” The rain was soothing and helped to bring further calmness to freehand expression.
