Tranquility Dejure, April 19th, 2010.

Bonjour and welcome to the 182nd edition of Tranquility DeJure, a guide to bringing

tranquility to your every day.

Today's show features happenings and musings on creative expression with the lovely

Violet Clark who wrote journal Bliss. Creative prompts to unleash your inner eccentric. Love it.

Workshops and retreats, lots of fun things coming up, including a virtual retreat and a retreat

to India. Also, a heads up those of you that are local.

I'll be doing a little Tranquilista tea, a fun free event at Tranquil Space on the 29th at 7 p.m.

in our tea lounge at DuPont.

So please come out and see us.

Our featured Tranquilista, she writes, I am a mixed media artist, author, designer,

workshop instructor, and creative catalyst. I live in beautiful BC Canada with my partner, Mr. G,

in a purple magic cottage. The cottage sports a huge paper, machet, dragonfly, drenched, and glitter. Doesn't that sound divine? My first book,

Journal Bliss, creative prompts to unleash her in eccentric, is all about visual journaling.

My passion is to teach others to embrace who they are through the vehicle of their creativity.

And I do this mainly through classes on visual journaling, among other mixed media projects.

My home, glittery van, and art have been featured on numerous TV shows.

And you can learn more about the lovely violettes in the show notes.

Music Violette in the show notes. Welcome, Violette.

Thank you, Kimberly, for having me.

I'm really happy to be here.

It's such a treat, and I just adore your book,
