Catalyst Five – Unbounded Love



This week’s catalyst
is about “what you like best about yourself.”



Journaling says: There aren’t many things I like about myself but
I will always cherish my ability to love people in an endless and
unbounded way. When I love someone, even if just a friend, I give that
person 100% of myself. I am always there and will always do anything
needed. My capacity for love is my very favorite thing in the word.

Catalyst Four – Life is Going to Work Out



This week’s catalyst
is about “something you remember from your childhood.”



My whole life I was this sad, little girl. I always worried that
something was wrong with me or that I would always be unhappy. I wish I
could tell that little girl now that Life is going to work out for her
and that she should give up constantly thinking that something is wrong.

Catalyst Three – Us



This week’s catalyst
is about “the best part of your day.” I took a bunch of the photos I’ve
taken of David this year and made this.



The journaling reads:
Since the beginning of this year, I’ve been taking daily photos of
David. It guarantees that we spend some quality time together every day.

In the last month, we’ve also started taking walks when I come home and
it’s our time together. Now when I walk through the door, David says,
“Go for walk, Mommy?” I grab my camera and we run out the door. We hold
hands, we talk, we look at the flowers, we laugh, and I cherish each and
every moment.

What started as a fun little project has become the best part of my day.

Catalyst Two – Nature



Here’s my second
catalyst.
This week was about “a place you go to find your center.”

Journaling Reads:
when i feel like my problems are huge
and about to swallow me
i visit nature
i look at the towering trees
the endless ocean
and it reminds me
that i am a very small part of this earth
tiny
and my problems, i realize
are not so big.

Catalyst One – The Girl Behind the Camera



Here’s my art for the first
catalyst
. It was about “something you lost”.

Journaling Reads:
I am the girl behind the camera. I am the one who takes photos I capture
the moments I preserve the memories. There was a time when I was in
front of the lens. When I let people take my photo, but now when I see a
photo of me I cringe. I see all the flaws all the fat all the ugliness.
I lost the ability to see myself clearly. I can’t remember what it felt
like to look at the photo and see me. I miss that.
