The fourth round returns to using “I”, the same as the first round. But I guarantee, you won’t experience “I” the same way as you did in the first round, after going through rounds 2 and 3!

Guiding Thought:

My Heart knows how to love.

Everything is energy.

The most potent energy is love.

As I learn love, I invite the most powerful energy to express through me, to live as me, to be me!

My heart is Love’s abode.

My heart teaches only love.

I am a willing and joyful student!

Open mine eyes
That I may see
Glimpses of truth
Thou hast for me
Open mine eyes
Illumine me
Spirit divine

Oh yeah, it IS already there, I just need to open to it in my heart.

My heart is a willing and joyful teacher. I am a willing and sometimes joyful student. The process of creating art has been an opening experience for me. I am astounded at the different ways each of our journeyers have expressed themselves in response to the same guiding thoughts. What an adventure!

I am a willing and joyful student. Today, inspired by Susan Billmaier, I attempted a new technique. This image was done using acrylic paints and ball chains. Obviously mastering the technique will require practice, but it was a fun first try. One thing I’m learning throughout this Journey so far is that PRACTICE is intended to be a way of life. Mastery in any area isn’t likely to come from simply trying. It will come from doing it over, and over and over, and over and over and……
