It's been awhile since I have been here...Some of you may know...my life never has a dull moment...I can't seem to catch a break...I keep trying to remain positive...but everyday...another obstacle...2024 almost destroyed me...losing my husband to terminal brain cancer and trying to recover from my broken neck & arm...I don't think anyone fully recovers from grief & loss...We carry it with us and learn to live with it...but it has improved since last year...Time has a way of always marching on...I can't believe it is March 2025 already...Where does all the time go?...Things have certainly changed a lot since last year...I am facing my greatest personal crisis since my husband died...My life is about to change in some drastic ways...good or bad...but changing...That's why I haven't been around...My life has it's challenges...I do have support,but it is still very tough...I wish my life wasn't always filled with major drama...I would gladly take minor drama for a change...
This layout was a way to vent some frustration I am facing...plus focusing on moving forward...one step at a time...
*For this challenge...I took inspiration from all 3 photos actually...
Photo #1 : The color blue & the use of all those background textures...
Photo #2 : The heart shape (my heart-shaped leaves)...the arrows & the black dress/clothes (that's me in the front picture wearing all black)
Photo #3 : One of the ladies used in my layout...mimics her neutral wooden coloring and in the brown tone flowers and neutral colored hearts I used...
