For my project today, I used a quote from one of the best books I've ever read...Untamed by Glennon Doyle.

Image

When I am having a difficult time, be that from having to make a tough phone call or a challenging decision, this quote from Glennon Doyle goes on replay in my head: "We can do hard things..." I knew from the minute I saw this challenge, that was the quote I wanted to use. The hardest thing as a mother I have ever endured was watching my daughter endure the recovery of a leg break. She is absolutely the grittiest, most determined person I have ever met. Despite a horrible physical setback, she did a hard thing by pushing through the pain of the break, surgery, and then physical therapy to get herself back on the soccer field. In honor of today's challenge, I made this project using Glennon Doyle's quote showcasing what my daughter went through to get back to playing level. I was also inspired by the cover of her book because it is absolutely gorgeous! Thank you Reminisce for having paper that looks exactly like the book cover. I challenge you to create a project documenting something hard you faced. Perhaps it was trying a new activity or moving to a new home? I'm excited to see your projects. :)

It took me forever to find these pics! This was really a hard time in my life because I couldn't do my hair for work. My hair looks terrible straight and as hard as DH tried to help me, he would clamp the curling iron around the hair, then drop it and it just wasn't working. We finally hired the beautician across the street to do my hair every morning and our marriage was saved. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I chose to document when we moved away from family & friends a month prior to my first son was born - definitely a hard thing!!!

I used the September single page sketch from Stick it Down!

We can do hard things...like Christmas on our own. This photo and the hidden journaling are from my first Christmas after my split from my ex. It's difficult to document those times but its important to remember what I made it through!
