How to Create a Gratitude Journal
guest blog post by Miriam Schulman

As a special treat,  I'm going to share art journal techniques in a a video tutorial to make a two page art journal spread using many awesome Balzer Design products.

Why Express Gratitude

Grateful people are happy people. It impossible to be grateful and unhappy at the same time.

Focus on what you want

As Jack Canfield, author of the Chicken Soup series and Success Principles says, "When you are in a state of appreciation and gratitude, you are in a state of abundance. You are appreciating what you do have instead of focusing on and complaining about what you don’t have. Your focus is on what you have received, and you always get more of what you focus on."

Hey, I'm Miriam Schulman and I create mixed media art to tell stories. I also teach other people how to craft their stories with art. I give them the techniques they need to get the results they desire which brings more joy to their lives. 

My art has been published by Somerset Studio, Art of Man and the New York Times among others and collected by an international audience. When I'm not working on art in my studio, you'll find me in a museum spending time with friends or family. Explore my art at SchulmanArt.com or join the fun at TheInspirationPlace.net where I will be offering a mixed media class in the fall of 2015.
