    Hate to break it to you, but that's pretty cheap compared to here in NZ! ;-)

    I could have written and written, but it's all just too raw still. He got my daughter's best friend pregnant and it went on from there.

    I often journal for therapy just to get it out of my head. When I'm making a paper based page, I'll often write across then up and down, or layer gesso on top of the writing. The writing is not meant to be read - even by me!! Besides covering most of the text, I placed three copies and moved them individually so the text is obscured. Just like I would do in my paper journal!

    @mocamom Robin, I think that hopes/dreams/reminisces count as heartfelt journaling. It came to me that leaving words about how precious memories of travel and hopes that my daughters will carry both those memories and the tradition on for themselves would be an excellent page for a vacation book I'm working on. So here's that page:

    My journaling turned in a different direction halfway through. It looks like it's about a car but,... What's really bothering me came out I guess. LOL Thanks for the therapy!! I blurred out part of it as I don't talk about it as there is nothing anyone can do about my children getting along. It makes me sad. I just try to be neutral.

    Hard to find the exact words I wanted to use on the page. I probably could have written a book, lol.
