Stronger: Layout a Day Featured Process Video

My family has very strong women. My mother never laughed at my dream of Africa, even though everyone else did because we didn’t have any money, because Africa was the ‘dark continent’, and because I was a girl. -Jane Goodall

Today, in honour of Valentine’s Day we will pay tribute to a strong woman. It may be your mother, grandmother or perhaps yourself!

Today I'm sharing my response to the LOAD prompt in another process video with you. I am very blessed to have many strong women in my life, but for today, I wanted to document a little about my journey of becoming a strong woman myself. I seem to make a layout about my health journey each year or so, it usually happens thanks to a LOAD prompt! I have already got one All about Me album and this page will be added to the next one I print!
I took the prompts quite literally with hearts, pink & white featuring and following the story prompt. I challenged myself to use a very layered template as I usually lean towards a simple style and wanted to try something a little different on this page.

Journaling

I've always been focused on keeping healthy, but in the last few years, I have really seen how much work it it to rehab a body that didn't bounce back from all life has thrown at me. It's been a slow process but I'm getting there.
Physically, I'm setting myself goals and meeting them. I have moved from weekly, to quarterly physio check-ups, moved up to 1kg hand weights at Pilates, can cycle on the exercise bike for 30mins without stopping, regained my balance, lost some weight and built muscle.
Mentally, I need to be strong too. When things were not improving, I was thankful a friend referred me to a doctor who has helped stabilise my emotions, reduce anxiety and physical pain with natural hormone therapy and diet.
Spiritually, I am surrounding myself with people who encourage me and making the effort to study the Word, to pray and to hold fast to what I believe.
