I LOVE the big circle in the middle of the page, Tracy. The beautiful, blended picture really draws the eye in. I see some resentment on here, some hurt, some hope and some "I'm going to get over this!" I LOVE the word strip that says "Generational" on it - we must break that cycle and I'm sure you have, but things still come back to haunt us.
A truly inspiring page Tracy!! I hope that this was therapeutic for you! I really love all the word art you have used from so many different designers!

Yes, the generational one. I debated taking if off and thought no, that's what needed. My daughter even mentioned to me last week that she sees me working hard to break the **** that is generational. It meant so much. I left off the positive words, it made it too busy and Didn't want those covering my serene circle even though they are part of the story.

Thank you. This one was .......... fun seems wrong yet it was fun to get it all out and find all the amazing word strips that might not have been designed for the feelings I gave them but they were perfect.

I feel you SO much. I have sat and debated on whether or not to take off certain words/phrases. I'm SO glad you didn't take that one off. It would have changed the entire meaning of this page. I don't know if I told you this or not (about the generational thing) but I decided to break that cycle when I was about 10 years old. How did I even know about that then? It was total instinct. My uncle (bless him) told me that I sounded just like my mother. I vowed to never again sound like her. He never realized what he did for me. I wish I could have told him.

Yes. I knew in HS that I would never be like her. Then my oldest pointed out (unknown to him) at the age of 7 that I was becoming her. I changed right then and there. Its hard. I still hear her come out of my mouth at times but have learned to say I am sorry, I was wrong and fix it.
This is so meaningful Tracey and SO cool the way you scrapped this page. Your photos are beautiful and blended so wonderfully and I love how you used the definition in the middle of that safe space. I really like how in the middle of the chaotic words, your background remains steady and peaceful, that's awesome. There was obviously lots of thought and feeling going into this page and it shows well, you did a super job on this - thanks for sharing.

Thank you Marilyn. I'm glad you saw the background photo too, I wasn't sure if I faded it too much but I didn't want it to be the focus like the bubble. This one just jumped out of my head and on to the layout.
