Soul Journaling: Day 7

I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for all the wonderful and inspiring email and comments that I have gotten about this project. When I first started I never knew that it would be received with such open arms. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
*SOUL HUGS*

Today we are going to journal. Turn to page page 5 and 6.
Now everyone has a slightly different page here. Some may have printed paper, some may be blank, some may have journaling. Mine is blank and today I want everyone to journal on a blank surface free of distraction. If yours isn’t blank turn to the next page that is or glue a blank sheet of paper on top.

Use a ball point pen and fill both pages with small writing.

Prepare yourself and your environment by turning off the TV and other distractions. Have your husband or neighbor watch the kids. Do what's necessary for you to have a few moments to yourself. Get comfortable, take some deep breathes, clear your mind and then fill at least both pages with the prompt “I forgot to tell you…”

Be as honest and open as you can knowing that we are going to cover this up and no one will ever read it. If you get stuck rewrite your prompt “I forgot to tell you…”




Now, we are going to tape over all of the journaling we did today.


Keep adding tape until you are satisfied.



I chose to stop at a point where you can’t tell what I was writing but you can see a few of my words through the masking tape.








My pages were a bit bumpy after adding all the tape so I turned the page and smooshed all of the tape flat using a burnisher. You can also use a Popsicle stick or the side of a pen.


That's all for today!

I want to add that tape is also wonderful for putting back in pages that have fallen out of your journal or reinforcing bindings that are weak. I love this stuff and you shouldn’t be afraid to use it. When my pages start falling out I am actually happy about it because then I get to use some of my cool tape! I think it gives my journal character. Here’s a peek of my “working” journal were I put all my art ideas.

Oh and I forgot to share Penney's armor with you yesterday! Didn't she do a great job? :)
