My plan for the morning was to go for a walk immediately upon waking…the weather didn’t cooperate. Instead I made art.
The page on the right was the inside of a security envelope…I decided to do a gradient of color from light to dark blue. That, honestly, was my only plan or inspiration. Next I added some random stamping to the background.
By this point I was starting to get an idea of the direction I was headed.
The gradient blue represented standing at the edge of the unknown…like the edge of the ocean. Nothing certain…endless possibilities. The branches are what I’m holding on to…my support. My stability.
I cut a tag from another chunk of masterboard. This piece had a scrap on which I had tested a compass stamp. It seemed fitting. There is guidance but really we just need to navigate our way through.
My current journaling has been really helping me express my feelings leading into the coming school year. 
It’s all so unknown…uncharted…unpredictable and frightening. But here I am…standing bravely…ready to go support my kiddos at school the best way I know how.

This is a super page Halle. Nice you can work through your worries. It’s got to be worrisome and scary going back. I wish you the best. Thanks for linking up to AJJ and Alison’s challenge. hugs-Erika

Very lovely. I love your journal and the pages you did. Great way to incorporate a tag and super colors. Your kitty is adorable. Hope the school year goes well – I fear for all our children and the world….
Gorgeous cat!
I feel for people who have kids/grand-kids headed into schools during all this. It’s scary. “Uncharted” is a good word for this situation.
A fabulous journal page and a good way to escape the worries you have about going back into the school workplace.
Thank you for linking up with AJJ and Alison’s theme.
I loved the photo of your Marvin as well.
Stay safe.
