WOYWW 460 A Mini Book About Me

I know my participation in WOYWW is on and off

I can have tons of excuses like, life gets in the way lol

but I have to tell you I really enjoy it a lot :)

no matter how long it passes by.

This week my table finally has some space where I can work on :D

and still looks messy.

But hey! art is messy

if not it would not be fun at all :)

Here you have a close up of what am I working on

is a tiny book about me 

and some of the things that I love :)

I feel so good dusting off 

all those little things and art supplies 

that I have and haven't use in a while.

I'll show some more tomorrow

when I finish it

hopefully with a video 

Come back soon :)

Expressing Feelings through Art

For quite a while now I've been looking inwards and asking myself lots of questions about my life, my future, my path, asking for clarity, joy, and true happiness.

I've been reading personal growth and spiritual books, follow therapists and inspiring people online, to learn more about what is it that I really need. Then I come to realize that I've been in this "chasing my dream future" game for too long, I realized that am not living my present and only life to the fullest.

After praying for clarity and meditating, I come to notice that when I follow my instincts things unfold for me in a mysterious but nice way in life. Following my intuition is a practice that I never had until my father past away. That was one of the last thing he told me: Follow your intuition. So I started getting curios about it since then.

Now that I follow my intuition I am starting to crave other things like being creative, which bring me to write this post and share my journey.  I started taking a class online about healing through art and this is my first art journal page of this healing process. Before I started I asked myself a question:

What hurts inside? 

then... I asked myself another question which is what I am going to journal about,
this question is personal, like
what makes me happy? what am I grateful for? or like mine was:

How do I want to feel?

Then I went about working on my art journal.

I really didn't have anything in mind to start with I just looked at the blank page and asked myself that question:

How do I want to feel?

I started looking at some magazines and things just started showing up for me. 

I didn't glue anything down yet, I just arranged in the page how I liked it and then when I was done cutting things out I moved everything carefully out of my page and did a quick intuitive background. It dried pretty quick so I proceeded to glue things down :)

I feel so much better now :)

Thanks for visiting :)

and this is what's on my workday today :) WOYWW

You Have the Power... a reminder

This is a lesson that I learned and would like to share, especially for all those woman out there who need to get stronger and build their self esteem.

This lesson is about power, is about the power within you.
You have the power within yourself to relax, to get angry and take it out of control, to smile whenever you want to.
You have the power to mange a situation as you need it.
You have the power to love, to forgive, to remember or to stay at peace.
You have the power within myself and take matters into my own hands and do as pleased and do the right thing to remedy a situation.
You have the power to love, to relax, to take action.
The power to use your time appropriately and wisely.
The power to stop and meditate when needed.
The power to take a break and journal.
The power to empower my stressed body.
The power to stop thinking and be present.
You have the power to learn.
The power to talk to yourself.
You have the power within yourself to love and take care of yourself.
You have the power to stop and breath to stop and think.
The power to stop bad habits.
The power to stay in touch, to communicate with others.
The power to belive

And one last reminder,
You have the power to be thankful, and remind yourself of all the things you are grateful for :)

Thanks for visiting :)
I hope this helped you, inspired you and remind you that you do have the power to do, act and feel the way you want to feel.

Love,

Clemencia

Blogging About A Life Full Of Passions

Wow! It has taken me a year to come back to my blog. Nothing better than feeling the desire to do it and take action. A lot has happened in that year, a lot of soul searching, a lot of learning and discovering what am I here for? what's my calling? and, even though I don't have a concrete answer yet, I am just going to follow my intuition. I am going to follow my desires and needs and what I feel like doing at the moment, which some people call... inspired action.

As some of you know I am a wife, a mom, a Cosmetologist (hair dresser and skin care) and a Preschool teacher. I love art, crafts, creativity, self expression through journaling and writing, I like cleaning, organizing, saving money, making my own products and  I like cooking too. I love to read about self help and personal growth. So that's what I am going to be blogging about. A little bit of everything, like the name of my blog says... A Life Full of Passions.

So I invite you to follow along and learn a few things together :)

A New Journey

I am soon to be 45 (y. old) like everybody says it,

but I don't take it that way, 

for me is 45 years young, 

mostly because now is the time that I am finding out

who I trully am and what do I really like

now is when I feel that I am free to be me.

Maybe I am going through a mid life crisis

and maybe I'll regret writing this in my blog

but I've been thinking for a while now

that is time to change things around.

I love writing, I love blogging and I love to help others.

I think I tried writing this post about 5 times now

since the new year started 

and for some reason I erase the whole thing at once

telling myself that this is stupid,

that I don't have time for this,

I don't have time to write, to take pictures, to edit them and

I tell myself that it is a waste of time.

But this time around I thought,

how can it be a waste of time 

if this is what I like to do?

I like to write and I like to help others.

I promise myself that this year I was going to start

a self care routine

and this is part of it.

simply because I am doing something that I like.

Maybe I will only have time to write once a week

maybe, hopefully, more often.

Or maybe less than that.

But if I don't start, how will I find out?

Every self help and personal growth book I have read so far

says: take action, and that's exactly what I am doing here :)

I also thought about writing what's coming up

what am I going to write about in the future here in my blog,

but NO! I am not going to do that because that will definitely

set me up for failure and expectations 

that will put pure pressure and stress on myself

which wouldn't be enjoyable anymore,

instead, I am going to go with the flow.

All I can tell you is that I love reading mostly

self help, personal growth and health books

I love listening to audiobooks, podcasts, and summits.

I love art, cooking and being creative,

and my intent here is to spread my knowledge,

teach what I learn 

so others can benefit too.

Hopefully you can join me in my journey

and learn to take care of ourselves together.

With Love,

Clemencia

Love Yourself Mixed Media Page

Have you ever waken up with the desire to do something specific?

Today I did, I woke up with the desire to make art :)

and like always I try to fit an

encouraging quote or saying 

in my art.

today Lulu Art came out with a challenge

with the theme: Body Image

and this is what came to my mind :)

It says: There is no wrong way to have a Body :)

Love Yourself

Take care,

Clemencia

#MixedMedia Page Challenges

As I am trying to incorporate art in my daily life

as part of my relaxation and self care routine

I am finding different challenges to participate on

I am seeing myself making more #mixedmedia art

than anything else :)

This time I found two challenges which I mixed them in one page

one from Cupcake Inspirations where their theme this week is Plaid and 

the other one is Colour Me Positive which usually has a quote 

and this week is about how we treat others

I hope you find some inspiration here,

Thanks for stoppping by :)
