Week One
Create an image that represents you
This collection of images
represents some of the things I cherish about life. First of all I
believe love is an important part of life and I've been lucky enough to be
married to my husband for almost 8 years. As with any relationship there
are ebbs and flows, but what keeps any relationship alive is the love you have
for each other.
Second is family. My family
live across the other side of the world and it's the one that I miss the most
about living in America. My family makes me laugh and is always there for
me when I need them. My parents provided a great foundation for my
character and now as I'm older I look back and notice that more and more I'm
like them in many ways. Family is the anchor of my life. So wherever
I am I will always have something to hold me and keep me centered.
While I'm not a real outdoorsy
person, I do love to travel and experience new cultures and adventures.
There are still many locations on my bucket list, but I
value traveling as I feel it's an investment in something that can
profoundly change you. Wherever we go we always bring back a magnet or a
coffee mug so we have a physical reminder of where we've been.
Even though I love to travel, there
is nothing quite as satisfying as coming home and being back in your own
environment. Your own bed, couch, kitchen, and space. Back with
friends and family and being around things that are familiar. These are
the things I value most in my life.
The colors and graphics I've
chosen for this image are ones that I'm always drawn to. I love the teal
colors and the contrast against the chalkboard graphic. I discovered the
spiral in Fireworks and loved it instantly, because if I'm ever doodling
I'm always drawing spirals and twirls.
