This will not stop you.
This will not break you.
This will not end you.
When her husband passed away in 2018, Jessica Swift found comfort in listening to a voice that spoke from within. Widowed with two young children to care for, Swift soon discovered an unexpected inner strength. She began journaling and started scheduling time to listen to her inner voice after putting her babies to sleep each night.
In Art for Self-Care, Swift chronicles her healing journey as she simultaneously grieved her spouse while nurturing her children and working on what she calls 100 Messages to Myself. The book is both a memoir and guidebook for anyone who wants to grow more in touch with their own inner voice. It includes colorful illustrations and practical advice on the tools and techniques that anyone can use to create fun and meaningful art; whether they are a beginner or an experienced artist.
Did you know that July 24 is Self-Care Day?
International Self-Care Day was established in 2011 to raise awareness about self-care. Taking care of yourself can be as simple as reconnecting with nature, listening your favorite music, meditating, or creating healing artwork as described in Art for Self-Care.
Starting on Wednesday, August 20 the Sharon Forks Library will offer a monthly meditation program to introduce patrons to the Sahaja method of meditation. The Mindful Meditation program will be led by instructors from Sahaja Meditation, a non-profit organization whose mission is to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to experience the transformative practice of meditation by offering free sessions for people around the world.
