Word Up # 56: WHY

we all have our WHY's. if you take a minute and write down a few, you have a base for a beautiful mini-album. WHY is such a strong word. WHY do things happen. WHY is the world the way it is. WHY are we the way we are? think about it. i teach my kids that there is a solution for everything. no matter how difficult or hard the problem is (in their eyes). and not only for everything is a solution, also for everything is a reason. but i'm not sure about WHAT the reasons might be. for some things i'm certain though. WHY i am the way i am. and it was about time to document that. mostly for myself. scrapbooking is a form of therapy for me when i scrap about me. but also for my kids to understand how i role. and of course for Arjan, but he doens't need the mini-album. he figured it out by himself :D.

to keep you thinking about the WHY'S in your life, i leave you with this gorgeous gorgeous song from Norah Jones. join us and tell us about the WHY'S in your life!

Comment has repeated. I'm sorry!

This is a challenge I just knew I had to take up. In doing so, I've come to realise that I CAN (and should) change some things in my life to give me a better chance of enjoying the rest of it.

Thank you so much for that xx
