Hello and welcome to Week 2 of our September Challenges. I'm happy to be back and want to thank Susie for taking over for me last month. This month we are going to be exploring the word COMMITMENT.
COMMITMENT is a small word with a vast weight. It is the invisible thread that holds together our relationships, sustains our dreams, and shapes the very quality of our lives. While talent and desire may ignite our ambitions, it is COMMITMENT that carries them through to fulfillment. Without it, love is fragile, goals remain unfinished, and character never matures.
* Commitment is the quiet power that shapes our destiny, one steady choice at a time.
* Like the tide upon the shore, commitment shapes the story of our lives through the patience
of time.
* Commitment is not loud or fleeting; it is the steady rhythm that gives our lives shape, meaning, and trust.
In the end, it is not talent or passion, but COMMITMENT, that decides what we truly become.
Here are some quotations that really spoke to me:
"There are only two options regarding commitment: you’re either in or you’re out." Pat Riley
"Stay COMMITTED to your decisions but stay flexible in your approach."
Tony Robbins
"Nothing is easier than saying words. Nothing is harder than living them day after day."
Arthur Gordon Webster
"COMMITMENT is what transforms a promise into reality."
Abraham Lincoln
COMMITMENT is not a single act but a way of life. It carries us when passion fades, anchors love when feelings shift, and fuels excellence when talent falls short. More than anything, it is the quiet force that transforms intention into reality.
Here's a mood board that I put together for even more inspiration as you start your creative process.
Here's my layout ~I was inspired by the quote by Abraham Lincoln. I am COMMITED to bringing as much happiness and joy into my life as I can!
You can choose to do a single page, double page, tag, TN each week, or use 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 use the template, we would love it if you post incrementally: post one done in the first week, post an image of the two together on the second, and so on until the finished page in the fourth week.
Again—the template is NEVER a requirement, just something fun and different if you want to use it.
Challenge Rules:
We look forward to seeing your art journaling pages!

I need to staple my jello thoughts down on paper. Throw it all out and see what sticks. I love the mood board. You and Susie are nailing it and making it hard because the thoughts are all jumping around demanding space. What a month, what a word!!
this did NOT go where I imagined. I wanted to show commitment to answers in many areas. Nope, not what showed up. Love how it turned out.
But seriously, I never know for sure what I'm going to end up with.
