She Flies

I used Row B with
word art: She Flies from the LilyPad Collab Wings
template: Hear My Voice 34 Soaring
foliage: behind my photo and painted onto the wooden background paper
patterned paper: both to the right of the photo from Rachel Jefferies This Day is Mine, which I also used for extras (solid papers, cup of tea) retired from BYOC Nov 2020, not available at other stores where Rachel's product is sold
circles: doodled & paper part of the above template

My journaling reads:

I posed for this photo in our Queen Lane backyard late in my fourth year of medical school. All students wore these short white jackets. I remember wanting a photo before I tossed mine since in the last week of June I would begin wearing the longer coat of a real doctor. I made those pants and continued wearing them every time I was on overnight call. They were comfortable when I had the chance to crawl into bed. My right pocket held my stethoscope. My “peripheral brain” made the left side hang low. I filled that blue binder with notes I referred to while writing progress notes. I often read about respiratory and metabolic acidosis or alkalosis as I interpreted arterial blood gases. It was such a complete summary that many of my colleagues asked to copy it after reading a note I had written. Copy as in with a pen on paper into their pocket brain. I modified and used that same binder for years. Also, I drank quite alot of hot tea during those years.
