Here is my layout (154 words):

 

[Jems]

here is my attempt at telling myself to let go what makes me miserable and focus on Happy. Journaling is in gallery upload

I have over 200 words in my journaling:

 

[Dalis]

I got the complete sentences, but tend to add lots to each sentence, making them terrrible run-ons, is that okay, or are the grammar police out in force?

I am not the grammar police, please go ahead!

 

[Dalis]

@Dalis you had to make us go deep, didn't you? Oh man.

Of course!

Geez woman you're killing me with your challenges!

Love it though @Dalis

I am not, but totally understand. I feel I have been cheating a bit since I haven't been able to do all the challenges myself.

I like that font you used. This is a hard one!

It's called Rough Notes Sammple I saw it the first time in a template by Scrapping Liz here at the LilyPad and fell in LOVE with it!

Challenging it is

Dalis, your page is awesome! And I feel the same way as you about Let It Go and Live. It's not easy, is it?
OK, I will talk with myself.

I am just not a fast learner. LOL!!!!

Ooh I love this journal prompt. Cant wait to get started on it

I am so happy most of you are enjoying and embracing the challenge!

ugh this gonne be a hard one , engelish is not my main langaus so finding the right words for the translation will be almost to imposibble

Guys, you can write it in your main language or your mother language and then use google translate and put that in the description in the gallery.

Would not be a favorite challenge for me either... Did one someplace else, not too long ago... since my goal is to document my life, this will be somewhat repetitious...

I bet you can give yourself one more different advice.

Journaling is not my favourite .... I come back later ....

It is not mine either, just breathe and let it happen.

and here she is my frighten challenge. I´m so bad in journaling, not only because english is not my native language, I even can´t tell stories in german *lol*

I know what you mean, but you did great!

I also used word counter which checks spelling and grammar : https://wordcounter.net/

Thanks for that counter!!!!!

I had to go light hearted with this one! I am not in the mood for deep and thoughtful at the moment

It's totally fine to go light, we can't go hard and moody all the time...

I am typically a journaling person. I have been thinking about all the things that hurt or were hard in my life and to tell future me to avoid them, but then I start thinking that some of my greatest blessings came from those hurtful times. Hm...how to do this one...

Sometimes they come hand in hand!

Someone must have been cutting onions in my house....

They were at mine!

I have NEVER done a page anything like this before! I didn't mind it, but these challenges are changing so much of my scrapping! I am guessing that is your (plural to all the challengers!) intention!

 

[{Laura}]

This made me dig deep and figure out what I needed to say to myself....

 

[Tree City]

Here's my page. Wonderful challenge!

 

[KellyM]

Loved this challenge

Journaling is NOT my strong suit, but as I was working on this LO for my sons book (I do a recap of the year every book - one book per year) I thought this was a perfect time for the challenge! So when we're looking back reading the scrapbooks I can read it!

Dear Older Self,
People always say that you will miss these days…do you? Do you miss the sleepless nights? The crying without know why? The pain of breastfeeding in the early days? The body that is never the same. The days without adult conversation? The constant feelings of being needed and the feelings of never being alone? I hope so, because this year has gone by way too fast. I hope I can look back at these photos and remember these seemingly never ending days, but remember then fondly, the snuggles, the gummy baby grins, the sweet cooing noises, the fuzzy hair, the chubby cheeks, the feeling of love so big you can’t put it into words. Forget all the bad, and cherish all of the good. And don’t forget to take care of yourself! “If mama ain’t happy, no one is happy” And most importantly, your kids do not need you to be perfect, just be their mom! Apologize for mistakes you make (they will happen!) And always hug them & tell them you love them!
Love, The Younger Self who knows the years will fly by, even when they seem to be crawling!​

I am not very fond of doing journaling pages, but I knew immediately what I wanted to do for this one. I just finished a review of 2017 and my future self needs to know some of these things. About 425 words - a LOT for me!

Trying to catch up after I finally have a working laptop...
This challenge was perfect timing as I started exercising again on Monday after too long a break.
