bathed in light

Journaling reads:
This photo was taken a little over a month after my double mastectomy. I took weekly photos to track my healing. This particular day wasnt a tracking day, but the way the light was shining on me through the skylight in the bathroom after my shower, I felt bathed in healing light and sunshine so I snapped a photo. Ive cropped the scars because thats rather private, but I feel this quote suits this photo and feeling rather well, even if you cant see the wound.

I used Designed by Soco's Second Chance No. 6 - Xmas - http://www.oscraps.com/shop/Second-Chance-No.-6-Xmas.html and Angie Young's DARE To Feel Alive Kit - http://www.oscraps.com/shop/DARE-To-Feel-Alive-Kit.html

For the paper strips, I just used the strips from the template as Soco's colors perfectly matched Angie's kit. I just used a grey paper from Angie's kit clipped to each layer with the "multiply" blend mode to give them a bit of texture.

This is for the Advent Event Day 4 Miscellaneous Challenge at Oscraps!
Sharing your story will give some other person with cancer hope and encouragement and I believe will help you with your healing process. When my daughter went through treatment with leukemia I journaled each day on the Caring Bridge for others to hear about her progress, but mostly for me. It was a catharsis for me to write it down, easier than speaking about it at the time. There were good days along with the bad. There were unexpected, caring people who came to help. Her courage was incredible and inspiring as is yours. This is a beautiful page that you have created and a quote that will bring hope to many.
May your holidays be filled with joy.
 
Thank you valiloun and helene, thank you for your kind words and for sharing your story as well. How is your daughter?
 
Beautiful, beautiful page! Love the soft feel of it, the white space really drew me in & the heartfelt touching journaling!!!!
