This is your ‘natural knowing’ speaking to you—your ‘gut feeling’ or following your heart—the receiving of information for your highest good. It’s knowing the answers on an exam or knowing how to handle a situation. How many times have we had these ‘downloads’ of information only to disregard them and later say, “I should’ve listened to my gut, my heart, etc”? Trust those thoughts and ideas that come to you…they came for a reason.

For this design, I used the letters of “I Am Intuition” to create streams converging at the ‘third-eye’. It’s one of my Affirmations’ Type Puzzles and will soon be available for purchase on my artsite. Be sure to keep following for updates and announcements.
 
So, what do you feel from this design? And, do you like to color, doodle, art journal, or would you simply frame it and admire it, or __________ (other ideas)?

Also shown is the ‘key’—revealing where the letters are located in the design. Have fun!

“Passion is the key to everything we do” (excerpt from Cirque du Soleil’s book, “The Spark”). Passion is what drives me to create—from drawings and designs to paintings and portraits—it is also part of who I am as a human being.
 
For this design, I used the letters of “I Am Passion” to create the flow of flames—the movement of life in the expression of self. It’s one of my Affirmations’ Type Puzzles and will soon be available for purchase on my artsite. Be sure to keep following for updates and announcements.

Empowerment is one of the main purposes and results of affirmations. Just as saying negative things about ourselves disempower us, saying things in the positive/affirmative empower us and remind us of who we truly are—our inherent traits.

“I Am Empowerment” is one of my Affirmations’ Type Puzzles to color, doodle, art journal, etc., and will soon be available for purchase. Be sure to keep following for updates and announcements.

Daily AffirMAYtion: I Am Gratitude

Today’s Type Puzzle, from my forthcoming Affirmations coloring books (this one from Vol. 2), depicts a person who is saying ‘Thank You’ in sign language—with the fingers touching the chin and then the fingers moving forward—away from the chin. The arc between positions shows the movement of the gesture (which is the letter ‘T’ from ‘Gratitude’).

​All of the Type Puzzles are made of type (letters) from each title. I don’t have the ‘key’ for this one as I made changes to it from the original sketch. The title is shown in upper and lower-case—according to which form of the letter is used in the Type Puzzle (for easier finding).

Affirming “I Am Health” has proven powerful for me recently—from being diagnosed with thyroid cancer in February, ​to the removal of my thyroid in April—I have been affirming “I Am Health” a lot and continue to do so during my recovery. 

It’s because of this affirmation, the positive energy from friends and family, as well as seeing myself—and being grateful for—my whole health and well-being, that I had a successful surgery and continue to heal and grow stronger each day. Thank you to everyone who helped me through this.

Since I will be publishing two new Type Puzzles Affirmations coloring books (Vols. 1 & 2) in May, I decided to share some of the designs from the books. Here I colored just the figure—loosely based on the colors of the chakras—with the body being surrounded by healing light.

Also shown is the ‘key’—revealing how the letters, I AM HEALTH, make up the design.
