Welcome to week 4 of our October Challenges. Our word prompt for October is EMBRACE.
There are so many ways to experience the word embrace. It might be a noun, as in a hug and physically embracing something.
It might be a feeling or perspective- how you embrace life. For our final week, think about the different ways you experienced this word as you art journaled through these challenges. What kinds of things did you imagine in your own embrace? In someone else's embrace? Or was this embrace building inside of you, encouraging you to feel or act in a specific manner? Or perhaps it was the comfort and strength you received?
Feel all of these different things and then pick one of them to use as your prompt for this last week's challenge. You can ask yourself which interpretation of embrace resonated and explore the reasons why you think it did. Use that knowledge to create a page that makes you want to embrace life fully!
