Day 31 - The Voice Of Anita Davies

“My journals have opened my wings and allowed me to fly.”

Anita Davies

I had to be the last voice didn't I?

I've enjoyed illustrating some of my favourite quotations this month.

The khadi book, with it's rough texture, was a challenge I regretted taking on through the first few days but I was determined not to let it beat me and adjusted my approach to suit the paper, this entry finishes the book.

I think it does one good to be thrown off kilter now and then, to be faced with something non-favourable and be forced to adjust...Life does that, it's a natural occurrence and we are capable of so much more than we believe we are.

Patience and faith are strong tools.

Thank you to all those who have enjoyed my voices and to those who left kind comments, your visits act as fuel for my journey!
