Dwell in Possibility

I know that I dwell in the world of possibilities. It's how I'm wired. Will it happen? Can I even do this? Is this a good decision? Will she get it? Can we handle it? Are we doing the right thing? Is this a good "risk?"

Yeah, all those what ifs in our heads are us dwelling the the possibility of what might be. And isn't that a good place to be? Granted, the possibilities we dream of and hope for are not always what happen, or what is even possible, but living in that place is so much better than dwelling in negativity and self-doubt.

Your Peace Is More Important

I’ve revamped my weekly quote series to focus on a different theme each month and the  theme for April is CALM. 

When I planned out my themes earlier this year and then began searching for quotes that spoke to me, that sparked a feeling, I had no idea at all that our world was going to be where it is today. This quote spoke to me personally for a "how something happened" scenario I've been trying to come to terms with for years and if you also need this reminder as well, here you go. 

We have to let it go. And I have. Finally.

Visit with me every Sunday for more inspiration and motivation for The Sunday Quote.

30 Days of Lists | Let Me Introduce Mysel

As a rule, I don't include photos in my list journals. But today is different. I recently participated in Ali Edwards' Pieces of Us selfie challenge and came away with some great stories and a few good photos.

This is one of them.

And since 80% of the time, I don't like photos of myself because I usually have my eyes closed or look uber awkward, it was a total surprise to come away with this gem. When I look at it, I see peace and happiness and contentment. And I hope the rest of the world sees that in me, too.

INSIDE MY JOURNAL

Day 1 | Let Me Introduce Myself

I knew that I was going to include a photo of myself here but didn't want to cover up all of the lovely florals and gold foil accents which made me decide to trim down my photo. 

I used a book page scrap which had been stamped on, because reading is such a big part of who I am, and then scattered some pink sequins around the photo and decided to add a touch of gold glitter washi tape to reinforce the glittery gold theme.

It was quite by accident that my sweater had a pink word phrase on it, but a happy accident I must say.

I also used a book page scrap as a journal prompt holder that I tucked under my photo on the left side. The "list nerd" die cut is part of the free printable I designed for the March challenge and once you register you can access the download on the private 30 Lists blog.

MY HIDDEN JOURNALING

A technique I use now and again is to hide my journaling. Sometimes it's because it's kind of heartfelt and personal and private. But not today. Today, I used a glassine bag and pink shipping tag to journal on only because my page was already full.

I also used the "one" tag from this printable number tag set.

I repeated the book paper scrap and the leftover scrap of neon pink that I used on the floral page with my photo. See, I told you I was a scrap hoarder.
