It’s day 365 of this incredible journey. 🙂 Wow! I got up super early this morning with eager and excited anticipation of today’s ultimate milestone for this 365 project.
rise and shine: revo’lution morning art-making
Following a series of deep breaths and spending time in a simple meditation of gratitude, I started to work on the last piece to make this project complete:
Day 365: [golden] heart space
“Remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure.” ― Paulo Coelho
This project helped create the space to find and re-discover so much treasure…
365 Full Circle
“The little space within the heart is as great as the vast universe. The heavens and the earth are there, and the sun and the moon and the stars. Fire and lightening and winds are there, and all that now is and all that is not.” ― Swami Prabhavananda
This final month (below) has been spent in a lot of reflection… Especially related to my yearly revo’lution.
Days 335-346
“When we make the choice to fill our heart space with unconditional love, our worlds blossom into a beauty far greater than we have known.” ~Rio Godfrey
Days 347-358
Simplicity. Stillness. Light. Trust, Service. Honor. Blossom.
Days 359-362
I’m also so very appreciative of all the support, enthusiasm, and kindness this project has received over the last 12 months. As a special thank you, I’m offering the series of the collage sheets I’ve made of some of my favorite 365 revo’lution art in this free download available throughout January.
In reflection of 2013, please enjoy this simple video highlighting intentions, days, and meaningful moments found in this heart space throughout the year:
Here’s wishing you and yours many blessings of joy and growth in 2014!

I’ve been silently following along all year. What an incredibly generous thing to share your daily gifts with us…I’m sure that looking at the pdf will inspire me as I consider doing a 365 project of some sort this coming year. Thank you, Gretchen!

What a beautiful creation! You teach us all the value of tenacity in the pursuit of a goal, and the joy in the sharing of a complete, finished work. True admiration!

Hello Gretchen, I came here via my friend AJ’s blog – I am so happy I did! I have a stack of business cards that were printed up for my old business life and I was looking at them yesterday and wondering what I could do with them – I have also been considering a daily art project that I can manage to stick with – and here in your post I find the answer. How wonderful is that? I look forward to reading and viewing more of your inspirational way of doing things. Happy New Year! Pauline

I’ve been working on a similar project and would love to keep them on a ring like this. Can you please share where you found yours? Thank you so much for being such an inspiration.
