<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Creative Arts For Stress Relief June 18</strong></h2>
<p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/creativeartsforstressrelief/"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-3284" alt="CreativeArtsForStressRelief-Signature" src="http://monnaellithorpe.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/CreativeArtsForStressRelief-Signature.jpg" width="238" height="241" /></a>Today is Tuesday, June 18, 2013 and I have made a decision after talking with some other friends about what I want to do.</p>
<p>I know, I know you&#8217;ve read that here before but this decision is the one that no matter what I tried, it kept sticking it&#8217;s neck out again, &#8220;Saying, look at me, look at me.  I&#8217;m what you really want to do.&#8221;</p>
<p>So, finally I am listening to my inner voice and just going for it.  I hope you will join me in the journey and I hope that in some small way I can <strong>&#8220;give back&#8221;</strong> to others who are struggling and want to just live their lives the best way they can and enjoy it doing what they (you) have a passion for.</p>
<p>I took a couple of days off to be with my grandchildren.  I love them dearly and definitely know why older people do not have children.  I can&#8217;t keep up with them.  So now I am back to work. full force and invite you to go along.</p>
<p>So let&#8217;s get this show on the road and I do hope you will join the <a title="Creative Arts For Stress Relief" href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/creativeartsforstressrelief/" target="_blank"><strong>Creative Arts For Stress Relief</strong></a> group that I have created on <strong>Facebook</strong>.  There are not a lot of rules but please abide by the rules that are there.</p>
<p>The group was created to have a place to come to for encouragement, friendship, inspiration and an outlet to learn and discover your creative side.  We all have a creative side but many do not develop it or even try.  This is my goal; to encourage you to <strong>TRY</strong> and find your creative side and share it with the world.</p>
<p>I have a lot of ideas and plans for this blog and the <strong><a title="Creative Arts For Stress Relief" href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/creativeartsforstressrelief/" target="_blank">Creative Arts For Stress Relief</a></strong><span style="font-size: 13px;"> group I have created on Facebook.  </span></p>
<p>The main goal I have now, is to meet with people who are interested in developing their creative side, no matter what it is.  You may have thought of writing a book, learning to draw, paint or take photographs.  You can do any or all of these things if you want to.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Your creativity is only limited by your own fear and/or reluctance. </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-3298" alt="HelpingHand" src="http://monnaellithorpe.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/HelpingHand.jpg" width="160" height="120" />I want to extend my hands out to anyone who needs a way to cope with life and stress, in whatever situation you are going through.</p>
<p>Everyone has a story to tell.  It&#8217;s just a matter of finding that creative outlet to tell that story to the rest of the world.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Creative Arts For Stress Relief June 11</strong></h2>
<p>Good morning to one and all.</p>
<p>I had a conversation with a friend last night about the  <strong><a title="Stress Relief Creative Arts Forum" href="http://monnaellithorpe.com/stressreliefcreativeartsforum/index.php" target="_blank">Stress Relief Creative Arts Forum</a> </strong>that I have created.  She looked through some of my drawings and paintings and made the comment, &#8220;Oh, I could never do that.&#8221;  I&#8217;m here to tell you, YOU can do that if you set your mind to do it.  It may take some practice but you can do almost anything if you are determined enough.</p>
<p>That is exactly why I created the <strong>Stress Relief Creative Arts Forum</strong>; to let people know there is a place you can go for encouragement, inspiration and friendship.</p>
<p><strong>Completed Projects Today That Relieved Stress:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Daily check of email, sites and programs.</li>
<li>Hootsuite Tweets are scheduled for the day.</li>
<li>I used <a href="http://pingomatic.com/">http://pingomatic.com</a> today to send out notices for my other sites:  <strong><a title="Double Wedding Ring Quilts" href="http://doubleweddingringquilts.com/" target="_blank">Double Wedding Ring Quilts</a> - <a title="Scrapbooking Your Family Tree" href="http://scrapbookingyourfamilytree.com/" target="_blank">Scrapbooking Your Family Tree</a> - <a title="Crockpot Shop" href="http://crockpotshop.info/" target="_blank">Crockpot Shop</a> </strong></li>
<li>I in the process of writing a poem in honor of my Dad for Father&#8217;s Day.  I will publish it on <a title="Bubblews" href="http://www.bubblews.com/?referral=517ed86d5b2917.86932898" target="_blank"><strong>Bubblews</strong></a> when I get it finished.</li>
<li>I never made it to the grocery store yesterday, so I headed out in 93 degree weather and with the humidity, it feels like 98.  I sure feel so very bad for anyone who has to work out in this heat.</li>
<li>I took a little break to eat a sandwich and work on the jig saw puzzle with Mom. We picked a hard one to do this time. We finally realized part of the problem was the pieces were blending in to the table background.  Once we put white paper under the glass table top, the pieces are much easier to see.</li>
<li>I finished the poem I wrote for my Dad for Father&#8217;s day;  <a title="When I Was My Daddy's Girl" href="http://www.bubblews.com/news/646811-when-i-was-my-daddy039s-girl" target="_blank"><strong>When I Was My Daddy&#8217;s Girl</strong></a></li>
</ul>
<p>So, that&#8217;s it for me today.</p>
