September AJ Challenge Week 3 {FOCUS}

Created for the AJ Challenge, Week 3 FOCUS:

I've been "struggling" again this past week. I'm trying to FOCUS on moving forward, but it's like one step forward, two steps back. I guess, to sum it up, my page is about my stuggle to stay focused. I'm focusing on getting focused. I've reworked this page several times. My first attempt was just "too focused" and I don't really feel that way, yet. So, back to the drawing board. After many start overs, this is what I created. I added some of my own journaling.

Oh, Cheryl! I know this page was so hard for you to make but you did such a fantastic job on it! The love that you both shared is so evident on your page and the struggle that it took for you to make it. Sharing pages is not always easy because you are putting your work out there and don't always know how it will be received. You not only shared your beautiful layout but you shared your heart and what you are continuing to go through, Know that we love you and are here for you! {{{{HUGS}}}}

Thank you, Dear Evelyn, for your wonderful and supportive words. Yes, this page took me several days to get "right". The love and support that I've gotten from all of you has helped me more than you'll ever know. :hug2::heartpumpred::heartpumpred::heartpumpred:

Cheryl this is truly beautiful, and transparent. I love what I see in you- being open with yourself, and embracing the uncertainty. Truly, NONE of us have certainty. We have moment to moment if we really think about it. And each moment matters, shapes us. Seems like you are at a part in the journey where you don't think you've made a lot of progress, but soon you will look back and be amazed at the view. I admire you.

Thank you for your wonderful and supportive words, Amanda. I DO feel stronger most days, so I know I'm making progress, then I slip back. I know that's to be expected. This page was truly about my struggle and I feel like this page is just a little more positive. :heartpumpred::heartpumpred: :hug3:

A real work of art and I bet it helped you heal without even realizing it. One day at a time. Your page is so full of love and memories as you move forward.

Thank you so much for your sweet words, Debby. Yes, this is the page I worked on for 3 days. It did help me heal, as I moved things around, added things, took things away.

Your pages always make me cry. I just cannot imagine, I think I would just be a puddle on the floor, unable to move, think or do. YOU on the other hand have taken control, still in pain, you move on. You are a powerful influence, keep going!!

Oh my goodness Lynne, you just touched my heart, truly. The last thing Chuck said to me was that he wanted me to be strong. I was crying, but promised him that I would. My art has been a big reason for me to on. He loved my digital art and always wanted to look at every layout I created. There are days that I feel like "a puddle on the floor", then I have my cry and get back up. :hug2::heartpumpred:
