Early in our childhood we are all read fairy tales. The ones where everyone lives happily ever after, and all is perfect within the world. The evil villan is captured and everyone is dancing in the streets. Life is not always a fairy tale. That is where HOPE comes in and saves our hearts from the very emotions that can run through our lives from time to time.
Keeping hope alive can sometimes be a bittersweet thought. Scrapbooking through the tough times can be even more difficult. One way to combat the troubles in our every day lives is to journal and scrap book with HOPE. Our very hopes and dreams for the future are things we can capture in our memory keeping. But how can I do this? Things seem so hopeless right now!
Start with a list of things you HOPE to have happen in your life. Even the small things can give you a glimmer of hope. A flower, a smile of your child, a sunset. Start with those things and write about what is in your heart. Get in touch with your inner self and give passion to your hopes and dreams. Then put those hopes and dreams to life through your scrapbooking!
No, the prince and the princess do not always end up staying together. The frog is not always the prince, even the most beautiful flowers eventually fade away. But hopes and dreams are empowering. They remind of what is to come. Captured in your memory books, they are strength.
