acolorfuljourney.com/?p=34922 I never expected my latest stencil release to stir up so much controversy. But it did. I suspect that once everybody understands what's going on with this word, they wont be quite so triggered. As a side note, it also created quite a few kind emails with helpful intentions! All this led to today's play, colorful DIY tape with stenciled words! I'm playing with the Random Thoughts collection from StencilGirlProducts stencilgirlproducts.com/stencils-carolyn-dube-s/1861.htm

You can find me designing stencils for StencilGirl Products, teaching in person and online workshops and sharing the message of O.O.P.S. here on YouTube and on the blog, aColorfulJourney.com

What does O.O.P.S. stand for? It stands for Outstanding Opportunities Presenting Suddenly.

Those “failures” and “mistakes” that we so harshly criticized ourselves about actually became true gifts as soon as you start saying O.O.P.S. Try saying Oops in an angry tone. It makes it even more silly!

I just can’t take myself seriously when I say Oops which is just what I needed to play. I began to play, to have fun, and to embrace all of my “mistakes”.
