My Possibility Book

Tweet

Today, I pulled out my possibility book. It was started some five years ago when I left everything behind in started a new life without domestic violence. We left everything behind, pretty much leaving with just the clothes on our backs. Five years later, we have a good home and better life. My possibility book was kind of a healing process for me. I couldn't talk about what happened much, because it turned my stomach into knots. We went through counseling to help us adjust, learn to cope. Over time and with hard work a new life was formed for myself and my children. While my possibility book helped me cope with loss, regrets and fears it also helped me look to the future. I learned to trust, hope, want things again. And when I say things again I don't necessarily mean material things though little by little we had to make our home look like a home again and not just a roof over our heads and a place to sleep. When I say things I mean, things within me... who I was... am... will be... When you first open the cover to my possibility book the headline reads," How To Change" I cut out things from mag. and placed them in my book such as phases and photos... Making the most of wearing time.... It's hard to explain all that one feels and goes through. As a suddenly single parent I had to learn to do everything myself. I fell into a sort of routine that was wearing me.. I woke, worked, slept. There really wasn't time to feel and heal. I had to learn to make the most of wearing time. Turn my days not into a routine but a life. One with personality, love. embracing moments, spreading awareness of domestic violence, rebuilding me, getting happy again..simply put... I had to learn too fall forward. As I flip through the pages now.. it's not only filled with my process of healing, but my hopes and dreams.. and that's where the name of the book comes from, "possibilities". I thought it was time to add a bit more to my book.. now five years in the making. Maybe you'd like to give it a try... it's worked wonders for me.. What You'll Need: Artist Book (Spiral) works best with blank pages Old mag. with quotes, pictures Scissors and glue Misc. Anything extra to decorate your book like ribbons, craft pieces. Have fun with it.. whether you're looking to heal, feel inspired or make changes in your life. It certainly changed mine.
