Trading fear for trust. It is a part of the life journey I find myself on. So it is not surprising a number of the coloring pages have Trust as a theme and a process. The page below is from my Faith journal:

Part of trusting is being brave. It is what my name means, but I have often found myself feeling anything but brave. Being brave means stepping out with courage, trusting it will all work out, that I don't have to be perfect. Instead, work for excellence and move forward...

The page above has encouraged me to trust God, be still, be loved, listen and then move forward. It is more about being. In that being, I will know better how to proceed forward. It is true now as it was then, at the beginning of 2013 when I put this in my everyday calendar journal.

The above journal, "Abba's Love" is one of the more innovative designs I've done in the small 2-day Art Journaling workshops. It was also a unique group of women who participated. My longtime friend Michelle Watson and her cohort of beautiful leaders in The Abba Project came to the studio for a 2-day daily art journaling retreat. You can check out more about Dr. Michelle and her ministry at: http://www.drmichellewatson.com/. Here is a blog post about our amazing time together:

Here is another link that shows my journal, finished later that week:

We each have a story to tell, and our stories relate to one another. In the Colorful Blessings coloring book, the pages give a glimpse into my story expressed through line. They are waiting to be colored, to connect with your story.

2020 update: I hope to have the coloring book available soon on my website, but the price on Amazon is no longer reasonable.

If you purchase and enjoy my coloring book, 

would you write a review on Amazon? 

Thank you!
