The BEAUTIFUL TRUTH

                             THE BEAUTIFUL TRUTH OF ME (of YOU)

Are you BROKEN INSIDE?
Do you ever WONDER who you really are?
Why your here? Is there a PURPOSE?
Why all this pain? Endless circles of self-doubt, shame,guilt.
If you are like me, sometimes life feels like your lost in this maddness that no one can see, much less understand. And if someone could see, would we let them? Or would you wear a mask and pretend?
Are you ready?
Ready to dispell the lies? REVEAL the truth of who you are? What you were specifically created for?
Ready to let go of the shame,that dosen't own you? Shed the guilt that's to heavy to keep carrying?
Ready to chisel away all the masks you wear, one by one?
Embark on this journey with me and DISCOVER THE BEAUTIFUL TRUTH OF WHO YOU REALLY ARE!
This is designed to be an 8 week class for myself and 4 other women.
We will be using ART as a way of HEALING,  and finding FREEDOM, from the chains of our past and the wounds that haven't yet healed.
REDEMPTION is waiting.
We will be meeting Monday mornings for 2 hours starting OCTOBER 8th thru NOVEMBER 28th. Choose from 1 of 2 class times. 9am-11am or 11:45am-1:45pm.
ART JOURNALING
MIXED MEDIA
RE-CREATING a beautiful bracelet or necklace from broken peices. As a reminder that just because we are broken we are still beautiful, when we have the courage to move forward and heal, we are still beautiful, and more RADIANT than ever before!
SUPPLIES:
Most all supplies are included, paints,found objects,glitter,canvas boards,paper,collage items,mod podge,and more!!
You will need a book for your journal because this is something very personal, book can be a blank page book or an old book. This is what I use, because the colors come through! Possibly some pictures of your self or anything else you may want.
Fee $200.00 ($25.00 per class)
Can be paid weekly if needed.
This is meant to be FUN!! In a safe place, without judgement or fear.
I beleive WONDERFUL things happen in a group of women when we gather to talk, have coffee and create! You don't have to be an artist, just willing to pick up the brush and make the first stroke of color. There are no mistakes, only new ideas!

With you help we were able to purchases the biggest bag of rice for an orphanage of disabled children in a village in Liberia!!
Currently we have been receiving donations alongside my church Fellowship, for a woman and her 4 children who are on the verge of losing evrything. Life seems to be snowballing out of controll, in need of basic living neccessaties,clothes,food,diapers. all the things I take for granted everyday. Yesterday I had the privelage of driving to her home, with my car overflowing with all of your KINDNESS!!! Thank you!! this is going to be the begining of something AMAZING for her and her family!
So many individual stories of people and circumstances that seem impossible and hopeless we are seeing and being apart of this journey of HOPE, REDEMPTION and HEALING.!!!! But not without many tears thats for sure! My heart has has laughed alongside so many but also has wept along twice as many.
This is the reason, the why, why I do what I do. The salon is about so much more than being just another beauty salon in the town. It is ALTERED EGO Discovering the beautiful truth of you.

So in discovering the beautiful truth of me I've decided to wear SEQUINS every day for the next 30 days! What do I think I will discover? Seems silly , maybe shallow, but it will be fun! Who knows what I will discover about myself. This I know for sure, my life is a gift, I feel like Ive won the lottery in life,I could of been born anywhere at anytime, in a slum in a 3rd world country, to a drug addict on the street, or 100 years ago, or 100 years from now. But for whatever reason God has chosen to place me here, at this time, in this place for a reason, and as I am discovering this beautiful truth of me i am going to CELEBRATE!!!!!
