To Feel Better!...& Shake Off Those Blues Or Negative Feelings!..Then Go For It!...LOL!...But I'm More Referring To The Idea Of Being Yourself More!...Expressing Yourself More!...In Whatever Ways & Means That Makes You Feel! Happy! & Alive!!!!...I Think "Living" Life! Is So Much More Important Now!...Perhaps...It's About Keeping A Diary Of Your Precious Thoughts...Or Junque Journaling Your Precious Family Moments & Times...Reading That Book You Put Off Reading...Learning A New Language!...Learning A New Job/Trade...Going Back To School/Virtual School...Learning How To Paint/Draw...Learning How To Cook/Sew/Knit...Whatever Is Calling You! & Tugging At Your Heart Now!...Jump! On That!..."There Is Magic Here"...The Every Day Magic Of Learning Something New!...Whatever That May Mean For You...Even Learning To Love Yourself A Little Bit More Each Day...Perhaps Opening Up Your Heart To Love Or A New Friendship!...Taking More Chances In Life...Crossing Some Things Off Your Bucket List...Even As Simple/Or Not As A New Haircut!...& New! Hair Color!...Taking A Chance To Change!...To Still Believe That There Is Still Life Out There...& New Discoveries To Be Made!...New Highways To Forge!...New Doors To Open!...Even Believing You Can Do It!...Even When You Aren't Sure...Take A Leap Of Faith...& Give Something New A Try!...& Remember Hey!...If You Discover That You Don't Like That "New" Thing You Tried...Look At It As A Learning Experience...Laugh! Learn!...& Move On To The Next "New" Challenge Ahead...Life Will Always Present "New" Challenges...But It Is All About How We Deal With Them...Sometimes Acceptance Is Freedom...And Then...We Realize That We Just Need To Step Back...Breathe!...& Then Move Ahead...One Little...Step At A Time...Just Breathe!...Take Another Step...And So On...Hence Forward...& Repeat...Repeat...Repeat...

*The Trees/Leaves Represent Once Again...Being Connected/Feeling Connected...To Each Other/To A Friend/To Family Etc...To Yourself...We All Need Connections...Community...Love...Respect...Family...Honesty...Mind/Body/Soul...All Connected/All In Sync...

*The Birds Clearly Represent Your Voice Here...The Music Notes...Same Idea...Sing Loud & Proud!...Shout It From The Rooftops!...I'm Here!...& I Matter!...I'm Here!...& I Am Gonna Make A Difference!...Whatever That May Mean For You...Some Of Us Will Sing Loudly...Some Of Us Will Sing In A More Subdued Tone!...But Both Are Just As Important!...So Sing Your Own Tune!...& Find Your Own Song!!!...
*And The Magnifying Glasses Represents Looking At One's Self...Learning & Seeing Yourself More Clearly...Seeing Yourself In Perhaps A New Light!...& Whole New Way!...Perhaps Letting/Allowing The World To See You In A New Way As Well!...Looking Deeply At Oneself...Can Be A Tough Journey Of Discovery...It Can Be Both Exhilarating!...& Exhausting!

      @RJMJ I love this. I love when you explain the depth of meaning behind your layouts. It adds perspective. I love how you depicted our friend here in different shades as if in different moods/perspectives and all these perspectives make up the singular person. OMG, the layering and the blending.... you know I'm a fan of that. It just weaves in so much to the story. I did see you weaved in the treble clefs..... love the effect it adds. So much dimension and depth here. :bk:heartslub:heartslub:heartslub:heartslub

      Interesting layout. I like the tints you have given the photo and your use of the magnifying glasses. And, I always enjoy your journaling about creating the piece and your thoughts.

      Rhonda, this is truly amazing and to think that my layout was such an inspiration to you, makes me feel so humbled. I'm absolutely in love with what you've created, and I apologize for just now seeing it. We've been traveling across country to our new start in life. Thanks again for choosing my layout to lift! :heartslub:heartslub:heartslub

      I think you can totally rock pockets and the letter size. Thanks for sharing your process and feelings so openly too. Amazing layout. Thanks for playing along with our challenge this month.
