We are now on Week 4 of exploring connections. We hope that you have had an interesting time reflecting on and perhaps making new connections in your life.
For this week, let's think about a moment in your life when you made a connection and had an A-ha! Moment or a Eureka Moment.
Maybe it was something small like meeting someone from your childhood and remembering how they fit into your past. Maybe it's something life-changing like Sir Isaac Newton, apples, and gravity.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
The eureka effect (also known as the Aha! moment or eureka moment) refers to the common human experience of suddenly understanding a previously incomprehensible problem or concept. Some research describes the Aha! effect (also known as insight or epiphany) as a memory advantage,[1][2] but conflicting results exist as to where exactly it occurs in the brain, and it is difficult to predict under what circumstances one can predict an Aha! moment.
To get you started here are some images to look at:
Here is my page:
Every once in a while, I'll see some meaning in the chaos of everyday life and that is my A-Ha moment.

You can choose to do a single page each week, or do a divided template - one part for each week. If you don't have the Divided Template and would like to have it, you can get it here at Dropbox. Thank you to Ona @wombat146 for providing the template choices for us! If you do the template, we would love it if you would post it incrementally. Post one done in the first week, post an image of the two together on the second, and three on the third, and then the finished page on the fourth week.
Again - the template is NEVER a requirement to use, just something fun and different if you want to use it.
Everyone who participates in any of this month's challenges will be entered into a drawing for a $5 gift certificate to Oscraps. You can receive up to four entries into this month's drawing.
