After my husband passed away, I was searching for a new meaning to life.

I accidently came across Seena's book and I knew "SoulCollage" was for me.

It was a perfect way to incorporate my love of collage and my need to find my life purpose.

Little did I know, it would also help with my grieving (see below).

After making my first card, I knew I was hooked! I was in total awe of the process and how it made me connect to my sub-conscious and how it made me aware of deep rooted issues and feelings. Often, I would look at my finished card and wonder where it came from. ME OF COURSE!

SoulCollage® has been in my life for eight years and I intend to continue using it forever. I have participated in a few gatherings and I've shared the process with many of my friends.

I love searching for images. My collection has grown by leaps and bounds and I know it will keep on growing. I'm sure every image I have cut out has a message not yet understood or discovered.

My best advice for anyone just starting out is to LET GO AND LET GOD! Quiet your inner critic and trust yourself.

Here are 2 of my SoulCollage® cards:





MOURNER


I am the one who needs to mourn.
I am the one who needs to break down.
I am the one who needs to show the world I CAN cry.
I am the one who needs to say good-bye.












SEEKER

I am the one always searching for the truth.
I am the one who needs to explore.
I am the one who needs to know.
I am the one who needs answers.
I am the one who is forever on a quest for the hidden.

IF EYES COULD TALK

Auntie Harriet and Leo

Had my family over yesterday.  Lots of food and fun! 
Check out Leo's eyes!   So big and round.  He's a beautiful child.
It feels good to hold a baby.  It's been a long time.
