I forgot until I started really looking at the calendar for this challenge that Jan 2013 was a difficult emotional time. Lots of changes (mostly good) while mentally recovering from a miscarriage that rocked me hard. I intentionally left the area around this journaling more empty and cooler.
January 2026 is brighter and more joyous - hence the extra elements (flowers & butterflies representing new life) and pops of color. My biggest change is being a mom of 2 now (just a dream then) and a job that I enjoy so much more.
This challenge reminded me that I'm grateful for the hard moments (then and all that have come since) that led me to where I am today.
