This is my layout for this week’s catalyst
twenty at creative therapy: how do you feel about your name?

Journaling Reads:

Yes, Karen is an ordinary name but when you remember that I was born and
raised in Istanbul, Turkey, doesn’t it seem so much less ordinary? I
love my name cause, in my own way, I feel like my parents must have
known that I was going to end up needing a nice, American name so I love
my name to bits.

This is for Shimelle’s Freedom class. This week was about Serious vs
Fun. Work vs Play. The funny thing is that I noticed I make long to-do
lists for both work and play. I make sure all my moments are listed.
Which made me ponder which one is which. Do I ever let myself play? With
no lists? This one went way off course but it was a really useful one
for my soul.

I don’t think I ever posted this one. It fits this week’s Have More Fun
challenge so I thought I might as well.

This is for the Have More Fun class. The challenge was to use something
lying around that’s not typically what you use. I used a canvas paper
from my pad and painted my own background. Can’t say I love it but it
was fun. I told myself I would let myself have fun with this class and
see where it takes me. I am really happy with how much fun I am having
so far.
