Welcome Fellow Art Journalers!!!!
Are you ready for another challenge? I sure hope so! The challenge team has planned out our year and we are very excited to share it all with you!
This month's theme is "DISCOVER". How you interpret that is for you to decide. I have some ideas that I am going to share with you to get those juices going!!
For me personally, I am doing a lot of "discovering" lately. As I age, I discover more and more what I like and what I don't like, and I find that life is slowing down for me to take a breath and start discovering who I am NOW. I have spent the last 27 years being a wife and mother, and my daughter is now 21 this month. I home schooled her all through her life, and now I am left with a lot of time - time to see time passing by and I don't want to waste a single minute.
So, for my part of the "DISCOVER" challenge, I would like you to reflect (see what I did there - used last month's theme) on what discovering you have left to do about yourself and your place in the world. Here are some quotes that got me going:
Here is a mood board that helped me decide what to scrap about:

- It takes half your life before you discover life is a do-it-yourself project.
- As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.
- Challenges make you discover things about yourself that you never really knew.
- We are all gifted, but we have to discover the gift, uncover the gift, nurture and develop the gift and use it for the Glory of God
