"My Story"

One of the things we did at the retreat I ran Saturday for my separated and divorced women's group was to make collages. While I made a bunch of collages in high school– ways I used to motivate myself– I wasn't the one who came up with or planned this activity for the group. One of the women in the group used to be an art teacher and it was her idea. 

I looked forward to creating a collage for my dreams on Saturday though although I had no idea what it would look like. However, that morning Mary Beth said she had tempura paint and said we could paint as well. I had an idea and planned to do some painting and then add some images or words that I would cut out of magazines.
