Welcome to Episode 126. Today's word is How Does Your Garden Grow

My garden also reflects the amount of work that has been lovingly put into it over the years and is full of palm trees, scented flowers, evergreens and a plum tree.....

Creating In Faith Encouraging Recordings are to bless and inspire you to be the best of yourself. It can be really great to pull out your art journal/Journal and express what comes up for you either with images and colour, with words or with both.

Welcome to Episode 125

Welcome to today's Podcast, to give an insight for the weekends, These Friday podcasts will be typically under 3 minutes, and just a pit stop.

Each Friday I share with you an insight or revelation and I hope that It will bless you as it blesses me. Today the word is - Listening

The best way to utilize these weekly 'Friday Shorts' is to spend time meditating on the words and allowing them to permeate your inner consciousness.

Think about the changes you would like in your own life and the step or steps you would like to take. Take out your art journal and be creative, use colour, texture, whatever you feel inspired to use.

I love to hearing from listeners and you can connect with me on a number of platforms

A great way to make the most of these recordings is to check out the accompanying blogpost and have a journal or art journal handy, so that you can either make notes or create something from what inspires you.

Welcome to the Episode 124 of the Podcast and the Arts and Wellness Wednesdays.

Today I am giving you tips on working with your art journal.  and ways in which you can get over the initial fear of working in a book with loads of blank spaces, and get over it you will.   Art Journals can also be used where words are hard to find or you want to express yourself in texture, colour, or what ever else you decide to create with in your art journal.  If you give it a try you will soon be making your own designs,  or even using those ones that you brought that seem so precious on yourself.

Check out some of the videos that I have created to help you with backgrounds HERE and also looking at a series of art journals I created HERE

On Wednesdays we focus on the Arts and how it can impact our health and well-being. I will be talking with artists, looking at activities that you can do to be more creative across the board and for those who are carers tips and strategies that you can use. I will also be sharing reviews, resources and other insights. I will be looking at the nuggets that the artists share and see how we can apply it in some way to our own lives, what ever your interests.

Welcome to Episode 123. Today's word is Revelation

We can constantly be fighting to change how we think about ourselves and then out of the blue some random person says something and that opens a door up to our understanding.

Creating In Faith Encouraging Recordings are to bless and inspire you to be the best of yourself. It can be really great to pull out your art journal/Journal and express what comes up for you either with images and colour, with words or with both.

Welcome to Episode 122  This weeks post for Inspirational Shorts is entitled Freedom.  What does that word mean to you?

Where there is love there is hope, there is always a way, what you have to decide is whether you have allowed yourself to be free to look at your situation and see whether your current state of being is meant to be.  Sometimes the only one stopping us from stepping out is ourselves, what have you been holding yourself back from?  

I thought I would give you an insight for the weekends, and prepare you for Mondays. These Friday podcasts will be typically under 3 minutes, and just a pit stop.

Each Friday I share with you an insight or revelation and I hope that It will bless you as it blesses me. Today it is to encourage you to go out and do some exercise, in whatever way you want to do it.

A great way to make the most of these recordings is to  have a journal or art journal handy, so that you can either make notes or create something from what inspires you.

Welcome to Episode 121 in which I am sharing the interview that I did with Rochelle Burke - The Bajan Strokes Survivor earlier this year.

Rochelle talks about her challenges, her work in trying to get the voices of stroke survivors heard.  She provides a platform where she talks about her journey and the very practical things that those who have no experience need to hear about so they can understand the tools they need to be more supportive.  Rochelle has a YouTube Channel and a Podcast where she posts regularly.  Follow the links on her site, and support the work that she is doing.

The Exhibition - Season of Emancipation is at the St George Parish Church

Welcome to today's episode 118, Arts and Wellness Wednesdays.   Today I will be reviewing a book which is a really great resource if you are caring for someone living with Dementia, or in a care home or day care setting and want to develop a series of creative activities.  The book is called Chocolate Rain

The book is filled with some really great tips and ideas, and gets you thinking about the things you are doing and how you can be more mindful with someone who may be at varying stages of the disease.  The arts have always played a key role in impacting on healthcare situations in the home or in a care setting, and there are a variety of organisations that work with artists from a variety of disciplines to deliver sessions - from the arts to music, dance, drama and more.

On Wednesdays we focus on the Arts and how it can impact our health and well-being. I will be talking with artists, looking at activities that you can do to be more creative across the board and for those who are carers tips and strategies that you can use. I will also be sharing reviews, resources and other insights. I will be looking at the nuggets that the artists share and see how we can apply it in some way to our own lives, what ever your interests.
