Courage Week 4

July Art Journaling Week #4 : COURAGE — https://oscraps.com/community/threads/july-art-journaling-week-4-courage.40195/

Journaling reads:
My page is a photo from 2014. I had recently finished radiation treatment for breast cancer and was struggling a little emotionally. The Oncology Dept had a Social Worker and one of the Radiation nurses suggested that I stop in to chat with her. The LSW suggested that I go to a local Relay For Life. I felt awkward, my cancer was not life-threatening, I didn't need chemo and I definitely didn't think I deserved any help or recognition. It took a little while to understand that every cancer patient needs the courage to face the diagnosis and the uncertainty of the future.

This is a beautifully designed page! I love the "I am hope" message on the Relay for Life bracelet and the purple pops against the background. Your wonderful journaling reached out and touched my heart. I am so sorry you had to go through this.
 
What a beautiful page. I love the moody feel and the little bits of purple. It takes a huge amount of courage to face what you did. Thank you for sharing. :heartpumppink:
 
Chris, this is a wonderful testament to courage. Your journaling is so vulnerable - a nice contrast to the edginess of your LO. You invited us into your heart. Thank you for your trust. Here's your Standing O!
 
Ditto to everything everybody said above - and add to that the subtle "Hello, new day!" word art. Small and understated, yet it reaches deep like it's whispering loudly to you... maybe like when you don't believe it yourself or that you don't think you deserve the chance. Beautiful reflection on courage. I'm sorry you had to go through that.
 
Wow, how powerful is this and so beautifully done. Your words show great wisdom and learning. I had a dear friend tell me once, cancer is cancer no matter how big or "small" it still is. Your journaling is so thoughtful and from the heart and your page is put together so beautifully. So happy you are here to share your story.
 
such a wonderful layout about courage and i love the artsy Touch and your sign to fight for the future ♥Congrats on Standing O
