it's taken a lot of years (53, actually) for me to feel comfortable in my own skin. but one of the things i have actually enjoyed about getting older is that my give a s*^t has gone way down. i am less concerned about what others think of me. i am more willing to speak my mind. i am more accepting of what i consider to be my "faults" or weaknesses. i am okay with not being perfect. i give myself more grace and forgiveness. and with this acceptance and grace comes something of a mental peace, and a sense of emotional release. so while i can't say that i am aging gracefully in all aspects, i am loving my new-found mental maturity, and the realization that no one has to believe in me more than i believe in myself.
Love your journaling...wish we could all get there at a younger age, but it does seem to take time. Love your photo and the way you've "matted" in with mixed media.
Love the way you have masked your photo, it works so well and love the typography over the top, your clusters are gorgeous and the white space adds reinforces your feeling of being at peace with where you are at right now, thanks for sharing your page with us!
