The month's theme for Inside Out Visual Journaling is Forward, which is quite fitting for our lives right now. We are moving full steam ahead forward to times of big changes. Steve will potentially be taking on a new job that will impact our lives. It is all good and we are excited. But things won't be the same.

I love this kit from Inside Out. It is so pretty and full of cool elements. It was perfect to help me start to tell this story. I am sure there will be more to come soon as we move forward.
