From Butternug Squash:
Happy Sunday, racers! Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is one that's near & dear to my heart. It's all about the JOURNALING!Here's what I want you to do. Someone in your life has taught you something that has stuck with you. It might be a mothering tip. It might be a viewpoint. It might be some words of wisdom. It might be a love of something.
Your task, should you choose to accept it, is to scrap about that. Figure out what was passed down to you, from whom, and memorialize it. There are so many choices here - what speaks to your heart the most is the one to choose.
When you journal about it, don't just touch the surface. Ask yourself some questions & write out the answers. Things like:
1. Who was the person who passed this down & who were they to you?
2. What, exactly, was it that they passed down to you?
3. How has this tidbit affected your life? How do you see things differently because of it? How do you live your life differently because of it?
4. Are you actively trying to live out this "thing" every day? Is it a once in a lifetime thing or is it something you remind yourself of regularly?
5. Why are you choosing to remember this? What lasting significance do you want it to have not only on you today, but on your kids & grandkids? Is this something you want to pass down to them, too? How do you hope it manifests itself in their lives?
I cannot WAIT to see what you all come up with. Post your layouts in the gallery here:
