In honor of Labor Day, I've decided to take a one-week break from Must Have Monday.
In the meantime, I'd like to take a quick moment to share a new favorite layout of mine:
For me, this layout is all about a journey I've been on for the past year and a half. Life changed for me when I got diagnosed with celiac disease. I got healthier. Possibilities began to emerge, and I realized that I could be happier, too. I spent a great deal of my young life feeling negative and boxed up. I expected the worst, and so I got it. About 6 months ago, I decided I wanted something more.
If negative thoughts bring negative outcomes, the reverse must be true with positive thoughts, right? I started using daily affirmations by Louise L. Hay. I began by listening to an audiobook of power thoughts to and from work, every day. I noticed a change immediately. Family & friends noticed within days. I repeated this pattern for about a month, until I gradually listened less and less. Now, I rarely listen, but I do enjoy flipping through this beautiful book if I'm having a low moment. Thinking positively has become second nature to me. The cynic is long gone. And my life has changed so deeply. I am so much happier and am living more freely and more fully.
This scrapbook page celebrates my newfound joy while reflecting on the past. I had such an emotional time creating it, and I just love the result. I created this layout using supplies from the September kit at Scrapbooker's Club House. (To see the rest of my creations with this kit, check out my SBCH Design Team gallery.)
