Thank you, everyone, for continuing with us along this journey.
Congrats to @LuLuLor for being drawn as winner for the October challenge.
All coupons will be going out in the next few days.
Without further adieu, hello, November!
Each month through 2025, a broad theme will be provided for the challenge and you can interpret these themes as literally or as loosely and abstractly as you wish. We know everyone is really busy, so we're going to make things a bit simpler so you can just get a page scrapped and checked off your to-do list.
Nelson Mandela said, ""May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears." One of my all-time favorite movies is The Shawshank Redemption. It surrounds the theme of hope. Hope is a fragile thing that nevertheless is crucial to keep alive. The theme for November is HOPE. Some days, it is difficult to find and hold onto HOPE, but now, maybe more than ever, it is important to have it. What does hope mean to you (or others around you), and how do you keep it alive? Do you think of hope as goal? Optimism?
I saw this poem the other day and thought it was just a lovely reminder. I used Rachel's Be Kind kit, which I felt was a nice fit. Rachel's products are so versatile, but always fit with deeper themes.
And here is a heartfelt page from Rachel, with her explanation, "Hope is the belief system, the drive/ a motivator / a survival and pacing tool - very poignant at the moment as we work through some tricky times over at the Jefferies Pad. I don't mean to be dark but when I sat down to make this page and looked at myself in this photo I saw the mask and the fragility and I realised for me having hope is literally survival, without it - yikes. Never stop believing in tomorrow."
