My Art Journey...

Several months ago, over a year i think, i started watching art journaling videos on u yube. I have always been fond of this kind of art - since i was a little girl. Of course then, i had no idea that writing and painting in my journal is a kind of art!
One night-last summer i discovered Suzi Blu and her wonderful, inspiring and so encouraging videos.

Suddenly i realized that this thing i've been doing for years and years is ART!!!
So, i started watching all her videos that special summer and listen carefully to her encouraging words.

As i was having some difficult situations in my life i devoted very much to art. Everytime i was watching her videos and looking at her paintings all my sorrow was disappearing!
As days were passing by, i started realising how wonderful life could be if we just try a little more! So i started my blog. This blog! And i made so many friends!!!

After a few months i joined Suzi's art academy.  I started painting and drawing and learning a lot about art. A whole new world was in front of me!
When i posted for the first time an art journal page of mine on her site gallery she wrote to me:
Excellent journal page, Eleni!

i was so happy and i posted an other one too!

Suzi uses many positive affirmations just to inspire and encourage us: be yourself, be spontaneous, don't give up, be lovely, you are already what you want to be,be loud,...and many many others!

My conclusion after all this journey,(that is still continuing) is this:

This world is not the easiest place to live in...BUT, we could easily try and find the magic that is hidden all around us.
And then, we'll see and we'll be surprised of how close we were when we thought ourselves far,
how much more strength we had when we thought ourselves weak and
how easy life was when we thought it hard...
And when this moment comes, try to share the magic with other people too.
As my friend anais says: All the grey colors can easily change!
THAT'S  THE  MEANING  OF  LIFE !!!
