journaling a heartfelt struggle

{unique journaling post on American Crafts blog}

Sometimes life is a struggle. Not every day is easy. I had one of those moments when I was struggling to forgive someone who made some decisions that affected our life. I had lost site of the fact that I'm not responsible for other people's action - only my own. So I let go. But not before these prose came my way and struck my heart.

And don't forget to pop in and check out the opportunity to save BIG at the Simple Scrapper. Jennifer is also offering great opportunities for VIP's that register before the upcoming Everyday Storyteller 2 release! ^_^ Jennifer always has great ideas and advice to offer that can simplify and speed up the process of scrapbooking your memories.

Happy Friday!
