It may sound counter-intuitive, but to create my “word of the year” art journal page about light, I started with a really dark background. First, as a symbol of the darkness I wish to leave behind this year, but also because I knew it would make the light stand out even more. It's a very simple page, really: light, dark, collage, paint. A few words to express thoughts and emotions, and invite inner guidance to show up…

Have you noticed how easy it is to set aside our creative practices when life gets intense? We tell ourselves we'll get back to it "when things calm down" or when we feel better.
