Life and the Pursuit of Happiness

Life and the pursuit of happiness - what does that mean to you personally?  Is life all about the things you have, or is life all about the people in your life?  I have spent a long time thinking about this statement, and what it means to me PERSONALLY - especially now!  But that is what a diagnosis out of the blue does to you, it makes you look at things differently!  

I have spent a long time looking at what works, what isn't - and what needs to simply stop being a part of not only my life, but my thoughts!  When you almost die twice in 2 months - you look at life in a totally different manor!  So, that said - I have made a few decisions where "Memories in Tyme" is concerned...  I am happy with my decisions, and thankful I am to this point....8 months later!  

After I get all the graphics and things done - the name will officially change to "Lynda Jeffs Designs" - LJD for short!  I will be posting specials I find to save you money - give you cost savings tips along the way to help you create...but not spend a FORTUNE!   Everything I do will be in a beginner - expert format, learning what you need to, or have time for - at your own convenience!   I will also have handmade paper crafts for sale - or to customize if you want!  Down the line, I might even have a few graphics for you to print out and use - but that is just in the planning stages at the moment!  

Life is taking me in directions I never planned on.....you just go with the punches so to speak.....   The 'name" Memories in Tyme has been with me so long now, that I had a really hard time struggling with changing it.  But realized recently - it's just a name.....  Like a few other things in my past, in order to move forward, those changes need to be made, and a name is a name....and I am FINALLY putting MY name - on MY talents!

So, like normal - a few challenges for you to choose from - please comment and let me know what you end up doing!  I would love to hear your stories!  

• What is happiness to you?  Either journal it - or scrapbook it...but document what happiness is to YOU.  If you are struggling with finding happiness, I challenge you to do a journal...document something every single day about being HAPPY!  
• Changes in your life - how do you handle them?  Take some time to document it - journal wise - hidden journaling on a scrapbook page...or a whole project even, such as a mini album!   
• What are YOUR talents...what do you do really really well?  Do a scrapbook page with pictures...or journal it!  

Watch for the changes coming the next few months - slowly, one by one...post by post!  I am excited to look forward, and not behind!  I hope you will join me in my next journey - as you have watched the past journey!  I can't wait to share with you some of the fun things I have made recently!  

Thanks for stopping by, until next time!
