My Doodle Place is a result of my life's journey of healing through creativity and play and going deep into my heart for its own tending and mending...

• colors
• patterns
• textures
• lines
• shapes
• mark making
• doodles
• scribbles
• movement
• breath
• praise
• worship
• prayer
• tears
• rest

...all the while expressing what is deep within my heart on paper and canvas and becoming more myself in the process.

My Doodle Place is where heart tending and mending, creativity and play are:

- valued as gifts we all share

- celebrated and encouraged to thrive

- a journey into the depths of ourselves

- listening to what our hearts have to say for our healing and wholeness

- for letting go

- for welcoming and inviting more of ourselves to become fully alive

My Doodle Place is where Heart Art is created with:

• breath
• love
• joy
• light
• life
• laughter
• play
• freedom
• whimsy
• childlike wonder
• hope
• faith
• intention
• mixed media art journaling
• cosmic smashbook method

My Doodle Place is a space where:

• questions and mystery are embraced
• curiosity and pondering are encouraged
• sitting in stillness and rest is vital

...so we can hear what our hearts have to share with us

- for our good

- for our Creator's honor and glory

...as deep calls to deep.

Psalm 51:6

Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being, and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart.  English Standard Version

Yet, you desire truth and sincerity. Deep down inside me you teach me wisdom.  GOD'S WORD® Translation
