New Beginnings - My Intro Page
Ok well here goes nothing! This is my intro page for my journal. It outlines why I am starting a journal. In case the scan is difficult to read the journalling reads (in various places and no particular order!)
“Why start this journal now? This journal is for ME! This is a really exciting time in my life and I’m loving it! BUT… I feel like I am LOSING MY IDENTITY. I am no longer a teacher but not yet a Mum.” “I hope this journal will help me cope with change” “So I am not a teacher anymore. Who am I? What am I? Why am I? LIFE IS CHANGING – Can I change with it?”
I read Shimelles prompt and what really struck me was that even though I truly am enjoying my life at the moment and I am so excited to become a Mum I am also feeling a little bit lost. I have started my maternity leave but as I am not a Mum yet I feel kind of in limbo. For this entry I took a photo of my pregnant belly in black and white, printed it onto canvas and used it as the background for my intro page! I used inks and oil pastels over the top of the image and journalled in plain black marker pen. I’m still thinking about some other ideas on Shimelles prompt sheet so may add to this weeks entry… or maybe not! Who knows?
