Because Nothing is More Beautiful

Nothing is more beautiful than tangles of the heart. The amazing things God does in the knotted turns life affords us.

In My heart

Jac of All Shades

Nothing has surprised me more than the responses I've gotten on the doodles I've posted to Facebook. I started doodling right after my head injury. I would sit in our weekly departmental meetings and doodle as I listened. I can't exactly say why I needed to escape, but I think it may have been due to the difficulty I had in hearing. The TBI left me with severe Tinnitus, which is a very loud ringing in the ears. That with the difficulty I had in personal interactions in general, I found solace in the doodling to block the static of multiple voices. A few months ago a friend posted some of her doodles and I thought.... "That's what I used to do during our meetings." So.... I got a sketch pad and some markers and began doodling while I listened to the TV. That was when I was sucked into the black hole of doodling, spending hours lost in my paper and pen. It's so much fun, I never imagined others would enjoy my doodles as well. Today a girl I work with said.... "Jackie, I want a picture of the owl you posted last night."  Nothing makes me happier than doing something that causes another to smile. I've always considered myself a "Jac of all trades, master of none" I can play the piano, yet I am not a pianist. I love to decorate, but I'm not a decorator. Now, I love to doodle, but I'm not an artist..... I guess you could say I am a "Jac of all shades"..... Fifty shades of Jac??? LOL

Life Tangles

Life tangles make the world go round. You start with a string of anything,  if you mess up (and you will mess up), you turn the mess into something unexpected. It happens every day in real life, but when you tangle on paper you get a glimpse of what life might look like if  we had the ability to step back and view it as a whole. When things don't go as planned, or turn out as we hoped, we have the ability to turn it into something beautiful, if not surprising. Life gets tangled so turn it into a tango...  A beautiful dance, and by all mean have fun and enjoy the process.
