CREDO
“a statement of the beliefs or aims which guide someone’s actions”.
Over the years I have collected some words of wisdom that have guided me through this adventure we called life. I decided to finally write them down in a format that was easily accessible. At first, I considered a small booklet but then I settled on a poster format. This would serve as a mini “Graffiti Wall” that I could access in an instant
This was a project I did not want to fuss over (avoid perfection, just get ‘er done). I grabbed a 14” x 11” piece of cardboard, painted a coat of yellow paint over it with a little embellishment, put my cartoon self in the center, and then started writing my words and phrases on the board in different colors and sizes. There is plenty of room for more guiding principles as this is an ongoing project. You can never have enough words of wisdom.
I keep this posted in my studio and glance at it now and again. It keeps me grounded as with my personal mission statement- but that’s a whole different post…

This is great, Alanna. I am actually working with a group of 8th graders at the Unitarian church where I am a member. Their task is to write their credo and present it to the congregation next month. They will need to speak their credos to the church but I might share yours when I meet with them on Sunday if you don’t mind.

Please do. Mine’s a little primitive but it’s really easily accessible to me which is the whole point. I need a lot of reminders!

I think it will give them a good starting point and one might want to present in this mode instead of speaking. (We have one very shy boy.) Thanks so much, Alanna.
