I must be INSANE, because I signed up to ride AIDSLifeCycle AGAIN. June 2019 will be my second time to participate in the 550 mile ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles to raise funds for the life-saving services offered by San Francisco AIDS Foundation and the Los Angeles LGBT Center. I am TERRIFIED to ask you all again to help me raise the $10,000 I have set as my goal. I’m asking you to give whatever you can - every dollar makes a big difference. Please go to: https://ift.tt/2P46ICL We’re working together to make HIV/AIDS a thing of the past. #Lgbt #aidslifecycle2019 #helpingothers #fighthiv #worktogether #iminsane #biking #roadbike #Volunteer #together #cannondale #endaids

Pineapple Painting: This process allows the opportunity to follow directions, tolerate frustration when its not perfect, and try something outside of your comfort zone. Metaphor for life: Ask for help when needed, don’t give up and to go back and fix your mistakes. #instart #pineapple #arttherapy #painting #selfcare #mistakes #dontgiveup #acceptance #askforhelp #anxiety #sobriety @prominencetreatment

🔥I used to live in Calabasas, and many of my friends are still in the area, and I work there. It’s all so scary. I know that I’m feeling helpless. The other scary thing is that my brother, Dave Malkoff, is a reporter for the Weather Channel, so he is right up in the fires 🔥 Thank you to everyone fighting so hard to control Mother Nature

I am so saddened by the tragic shooting at the synagogue in Pittsburgh. RACISM IS NEVER OK. We are all feeling overwhelmed about the state of our nation. But there are things we can do, to reduce our own anxiety, to support others in need and to become better people. To help with that anxiety, I will donate $20 to Jewish Family Services each time anyone takes my online ArtTherapy class. Be a part of the solution, help Jewish families in need, get a free Coloring Book, and get 30% off with coupon code: Pamela30 #tragedy #pittsburgh #synagogue #shooting #loss #anxiety #helpingothers @jfsla #makeadifference #bethechange #arttherapy #coloringbook #art #creativity #love #hope

We all do better when we believe something is possible. The best thing we can give one another is HOPE. Most of my clients say “I can’t draw/paint. I don’t have a creative bone in my body”. Then I teach them, “ You just did something you didn’t think you could do.” I paused to let that concept settle in, and I added, “What else are you convinced is not possible in your life? And are you willing to try?”

“Why should I make art? How is this even helping me?” In my 25+ years as a Board Certified Art Therapist I have heard this a million times. And so, I present - 5 Ways Art Therapy Improves Your Life 1. Making art stimulates your brain in new ways. 2. Making art gives you temporary distraction from the stressful $h*t in your life. 3. Making art provides you with a different language to explore your inner most feeling, fears and fantasies. 4. Making art helps you tolerate feelings of frustration and disappointment when the project is not looking the way you intended. 5. Making art can boost your self esteem when the project is looking the way you intended. Along these lines, I am finalizing a very exciting new project that I will be announcing soon. The picture is a clue! 🧐 STAY TUNED! . . . #arttherapy #art #psychology #selfimprovement #selfhelp #anxiety #depression #stress #therapy #artsupplies #crayola #mentalhealth #color

Just for this holiday weekend, try telling yourself “I AM WILLING TO LET GO I release others to experience whatever is meaningful to them, and I am free to create that which is meaningful to me” Who are you thinking about? Who comes to mind? And how does this change your attitude? #arttherapy #attitude #painting #release #meaningful #holidayweekend #labordayweekend #breathe #letgo #watercolorpainting

This exercise is based on a Native American folktale: The Fight of Two Wolves Within You An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life: “A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy. ”It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One wolf is evil–he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.” He continued, “The other Wolf is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you–and inside every other person, too.” The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: “Which wolf will win?” The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.” They were encouraged to be creative and make their own painting based on this folktale. This gives an opportunity to learn to tolerate frustration without giving up, and to push through and finish what they started. The painting process also provides time to think about the folktale and decide which wolf they will feed. #twowolves #AA #arttherapy #anxiety #dontgiveup #NativeAmerican

Is it me? Is it the full moon? It’s been a weird week-dealing with the IRS, cat pee on the couch and my father in the hospital. We could all use a fun distraction. I think this painting is hysterical. Enjoy!

Day 6. 88 miles. You can ride along today- see the ride here: https://ift.tt/2JxYlx5 Climbing and descending mountains in the morning (going down is often harder - the constant breaking hurts on my hands). Through beautiful Santa Barbara and along the coast the entire way to Ventura. It’s magical to be in familiar territory - feels like home. One more night of camping.
