oh what a great challenge to end MOC 12! Thank you 539 words for the journaling (journaling is in gallery for easier reading as well)
Fab challenge, can't believe MOC is over! My journaling might be a bit small, so it's with my post - 170 words
Thanks for a wonderful month of challenges. I enjoyed every one. My word count is 154. I didn't even realize until I went to post in my thread, but I used the exact same kit for the first challenge!
Journaling: (102 words) This challenge got me really thinking about the ways that I connect with myself. I have been thinking about it all day and you know what? I don’t have an answer to that. Why? I guess it’s because my entire life I have been taking care of someone else, or I was a child. I realized that now is my time, and I need to connect with myself; to find out who I am apart from being a homeschooling Mom. I need to find out what heals my soul, fills my time, and touches my heart. So thats how I WILL connect.
Thank you for the challenge - 187 words To recharge and renew, I need to be left anole to do whatever it is I need to do. Very often, it is the mundane tasks that bring me peace – cleaning the kitchen reminds me that this is my home, while loading the dishwasher helps me remember I am not alone and that I have a family that I chose to build. I rarely feel the need to get away from it all, perhaps because I spend a lot of time on my own. I love ticking items off my to-do list because it fills me with a sense of purpose. I love reading parenting books because it helps me put things in perspective. I love scrapping our family life because it allows me to relive those moments I thought were worth documenting at the time. And I love browsing recipe blogs because variety is the spice of life. In other words, to renew and recharge I need a little refresher from that quiet voice inside my head that I am living the life I chose and I should trust myself to have made the right choice.
