September AJ Week 4 {FOCUS}

Week 4, for our September AJ Challenges, is still using the word prompt focus. This week, Chris asks us to think about a mantra. Since my layout is kind of a "full circle" - which is where my muse led me this week, I'm going to concentrate on the word love. "I am loved", I'm surrounded by love". Through my "grief journaling" for the past months, I believe I've grown a lot since the image of the hopeless, crying woman in the upper left corner. Moving across the top, are my "typical wings". This time, represented by Chuck giving me faith (which he always did). the lower left corner is him giving ME wings. Wings to move on - to fly. Then, the wrap-up "Because he loved me.

I'm looking forward to seeing where my must leads me in the next months. I know you'll see some similarities because this is kind or a culmination of some of my other pages. I also hope you see some "new direction".
Cheryl, not only is your page wonderful and filled with love, but so are the comments and conversations among your friends here. You and CHuck are such special people and I adore how he shines through your art and we all feel a little brighter by knowing him that way
Thank you so much for all you said, Chris. I can't even tell any of you how much you all mean to me. This wonderful group has helped me heal, tremendously with all the love and support. I'm so thankful that I stayed and worked through my grief with so much support. It has made all the difference in my healing process.
 
I agree with what everyone else has said. And proud of you for your growth, your honesty, your perseverance. You and Chuck had what most people can only dream of, and that kind of love never dies. You will have it forever, regardless of the path you take. Congratulations on your successful baby steps, and on your Standing O, well deserved Cheryl!!
Thank you so much for your kindness, Lynne. Your Lifeline Grief kit has been one of my "standards" in one way or another. It really helped me express myself. You're right, we were so fortunate to have the love we had and I treasure that.
 
You two look so happy in the picture, Cheryl! It's a good idea to focus on the love you had and not dwell on the loss because we can't bring our loved ones back. Wonderful page! Congrats on your Standing O! :hug4:
