Not all change is bad change

I've added a new page to my Change Journal, which I have quite neglected a bit these past few weeks and months. It was one of those pages where I had no idea what would come out of it when I started. I realised that I hadn't used much blue for a while, and that I even had some new blue paints that were still unopend, so I just started with painting a blue background.


I've been wanting to create a page using a vintage image for ages, and still not knowing what to do, really, this dreamy, happy girl just seemed perfect.



And lots and and lots of butterflies all around.


I started this journal only a few months ago, to help me work on my attitude towards change. And although there's still a lot of change I'm not happy with, I'm beginning to see that not all change is necessarily for the worse. Some changes are pretty good, really. And they come when you least expect it, and are brought about by the smallest things, like finally writing a long overdue e-mail. And suddenly, your world is turned upside down, and you'll find yourself smiling and dreaming and hoping that there'll be even more changes following that will change your life forever, and for the better.

  11. You are so self aware thinking to expand and change your attitude to change... if I try to think about too much I am immediately over come by the need to lie down and eat chocolate... mind you if I could create backgrounds like that I think I would start a change journal too...xx

  21. I love the dreaminess of your "model" - she seems so content and happy in a beautifully modest way. Change is so often about being courageous, taking chances and just trusting that things will, after all, turn out for the best. It can be scary, daunting and overwhelming, but the rewards can be beyond any of our wildest dreams. I know this as a fact and it seems you do too ♥♥♥
