forensic experts

At least once a year I like to read my own meter and document it on a journal page.  I make lots of lists.  What is my current color palette – in art and/or apparel.  My current playlist.  My interests  Books I have read, movies seen.  Did I tend to the garden, walk everyday, make a new friend?  It may seem silly to record the trivial things but time slips by fast and we forget stuff.  I love looking back at old journal pages where I see my colors used to be sage and copper and my daily routine was much different than it is now.  The kids are older, the studio more cluttered, my focus has shifted.  I love having a barometer to gauge my evolution.  I love having a resource of myself for myself when my recollection gets blurry.  

On the Street Team blog we began the new year with a new journaling series:  EvidenceCome play with us.

    this is an awesome idea. I’m excited to do it for myself! I’m sure I’ll forget again in a year to do it again. But oh right now, I’m on it!

    Forensic experts – Yet again GrnPep gives me something to think about and inspire me (the title alone is inspirational). Like you, my studio gets more and more cluttered but I find if I just close the door, its tidy and organized. Looking inward and performing an honest self evaluation is going to be a challenge, but I’m ready to take the 666 in my heart.
