"A year ago I was in rehab and we were asked to draw a tree and I was so messed up that I couldn't draw one. So I wanted to give it a go now. I also think that it symbolizes a new start. I missed out on months of my one-year-old's life. So now that I get to spend time with him, I love taking advantage of every moment." -Jasmine, volunteering @RedCross for community service hours because of a #DUI #treedrawing #rehab #somessedup #art #arttherapy #hotmess #newstart

This is a two step project: 1. Paint wavy bands of color. This can be soothing and it is making bilateral brain connections. 2. When paint is dry, write positive things about yourself with permanent marker. #positivepsychology #painting #strong #goodfood #icanlearn #icanshare #art #arttherapy

"September 24 will begin my New Year, Rosh Hashana. Each year the six weeks prior to it, I do a "Chesbon HaNefesh", Hebrew for 'Accounts of the soul'. What do I need to release, let go of, unburden, forgive - in others and myself?what is my intention moving into the New Year? This drawing is my intention, for myself and others: my hope. The Hebrew words mean, "Go to yourself. It's a journey outward and inward." The spiral is my souls energy. The colors blue and orange (complimentary) are both positive and negative energies." -Susan, Frederick, MD #RoshHashanah #shanatova #Hebrew #soul #myintentions #arttherapy #chesbonHaNefesh

"I am an actor and I have been fortunate to have been working a lot lately. I had a 14 year old dog that just died recently.
