The quote on the page is "Woman is born to create...In creating she becomes herself, accomplishes her destiny. Her whole life is only an initiation into the creative power, To create is not merely to produce a work...It is to give out ones own individuality. Woman becomes creator when, after the innumerable stages of adaptation to alien influence, she finally grasps what is really her own. What she receives, not from men but directly from God as a special personal message." Jeanne De Vietinghoff
For day 14 of "30 Days of Get Your Art On," I finished the journal page that I started yesterday. The writing that I did started with me being overwhelmed, to being my own cheerleader and setting a goal. I love how journaling works that way, changing your mood. This is a detail.
You can read all about my 30 Days of Get Your Art On here.
My nieces stayed with me while their baby brother was trying to enter the world. He finally came a couple of days later. We had fun working in our journals. They each have a book that we leave here. I blanked out their faces as I don't believe in posting people's photos without permission.
200224: When I saw a picture of the coronavirus, I spontaneously thought of a puffer fish - although its consumption is comparatively harmless with about 75 deaths per year.
The sudden increase in infections seems frightening, but I find the weighting in the reporting partly questionable. The numerous flu deaths per year do not cause panic. The increase in car registrations and the 1.35 million road deaths worldwide also leaves most people cold, not to mention the 9 million people who die of hunger every year. Or, for example, lack of exercise: researchers at Harvard University found that about one in ten deaths worldwide is due to lack of exercise. However, there was no sharp increase in registrations in sports clubs on a scale comparable to the current sell-out of disinfectants in Germany. In 2019, 5 times as many people were killed in the USA by the use of firearms as there are COVID-19 deaths worldwide to date.
Don't get me wrong, I don't want to start a whataboutism nor do I have any interest in COVID-19 infection. I am just wondering what causes panic and what does not and I am sure that fear and panic are not good advisors.
EDIT:
In the meantime, I have a slightly different perspective. When I painted the picture, it was not clear to me how the virus would develop, what dimensions it would take on and what fatal effects it would have. I didn't know at that time that the dangerous thing about it is that the virus is new and we have no herd protection. The statistics on deaths, although still interesting, are not relevant to the current situation.

200224: Als ich ein Bild von dem Coronavirus sah, musste ich spontan an einen Kugelfisch denken - wobei dessen Verzehr mit ca. 75 Todesopfern pro Jahr vergleichsweise harmlos ist.
Der sprunghafte Anstieg der Ansteckungen erscheint zwar beängstigend, aber ich finde die Gewichtung in der Berichterstattung teilweise fragwürdig. Die zahlreichen Grippetoten pro Jahr lösen keine Panik aus. Auch der Anstieg an KFZ-Zulassungen und die weltweit 1,35 Millionen Verkehrstoten lässt die meisten kalt, ganz zu schweigen von 9 Millionen Menschen, die jährlich an Hunger sterben. Oder zum Beispiel Bewegungsmangel: Forscher der Harvard University fanden heraus, dass ca. jeder zehnte Todesfall weltweit auf Bewegungsmangel zurückzuführen ist. Einen sprunghaften Anstieg an Anmeldungen in Sportvereinen in einem vergleichbaren Ausmaß, wie in Deutschland derzeit Desinfektionsmittel ausverkauft sind, war jedoch nicht zu verzeichnen. Im Jahr 2019 wurden in den USA 5x so viele Menschen durch Schusswaffengebrauch getötet wie es bislang weltweit an COVID-19-Toten gibt.
Versteht mich nicht falsch, ich will weder einen whataboutism starten noch wünsche ich (insbesondere Alten, Schwachen und Vorerkrankten) eine COVID-19-Infektion. Ich wundere mich nur darüber, was Panik auslöst und was nicht und bin mir sicher, dass Angst und Panik keine guten Ratgeber sind.

I had a very strange dream so I immediately wrote it down on the computer then later in the day, re read it and did this collage in my journal to see if I could decipher it. I've been dreaming of houses, looking for the "right" house, dreaming of another child (I am unable to have any more children) and have been puzzled by the recurring themes in my dreams. I'm so glad I decipher my dreams and have now had a clear idea of what my subconscious is trying to tell me.
