I knew what I wanted to say with this layout but have had a very hard time trying to get it to look the way I want it to look. I think it's time to just let it go and get my journaling down with the photo. The statue was one I saw on a photography field trip and I diffused the photo in photoshop to give it a softer feel to go along with my journaling. I printed the journaling over a dissaturated version of the word Motherhood.Journaling:A wave of feelings swept over me when I saw this statue. The mother’s protective body position curled around her child, the vulnerability in her nakedness, and the strength in her ability to weather the elements…it all represented motherhood. Never have I felt the urge to protect another person the way I crave to protect my daughter. At the same time, I have never felt as helpless and vulnerable as when I am trying to parent her. But through it all, I become stronger because I am willing to do what needs to be done despite my fears and inadequacies. That is the beauty of being a mother.Thanks for looking! Sue
