Welcome to Week 3 of our September art journaling challenge focusing on COMMITMENT. I don't know about you, but certain areas of my life are harder to "stay the course" in my commitment to them than other areas. For instance, I have no problem staying committed to the man I am married to. But, when it comes to staying the course on a diet, or an exercise regimen.....I usually fail miserably! I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in that!
"Stay the Course" simply means push through advisory despite the difficult obstacles in your way. It means to continue to strive for excellence without excuses or blame. "Stay the Course" means continuing on a path even when it gets difficult. It takes perseverance and determination to stay the course, but it can be rewarding in the end".
My challenge for you this week is to think of something in your life that you are successfully "staying the course" in and give some insight to us, your readers, on how you are able to stay committed.....even if you are not batting 100% and getting all A+'s! Mine pages have a tendency to be "wordy" but don't feel like yours has to be a whole page of journaling!
Here is a bit of inspiration I hope will bring something to mind for your challenge this week. Have fun!
Staying the Course/Commitment
Here is a list of common synonyms:
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!
