\u201cTravel is as much a passion as ambition or love\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n

Travel<\/span> (page 39)

This week brings to light another topic that could do with a whole album being spent on it for some of us and a topic that will be quite difficult for the rest of us. You will find topics in this Book of Me project that could fill a whole 60 page album, and others that you will struggle to write a paragraph and find a single photograph. Along the feel free to create extra pages for your other albums about the topics that come easy and you have a wealth of resources for.
\nDon\u2019t forget that I am only a phone call or an email away if you have a question, a difficulty or an inspiration block. Alicia<\/p>\n

Travel<\/span>
\n<\/span>This is a page about where you have travelled, your favourite holidays, any anecdotes you want to share and some happy snaps if you have them.
\nThis is not for travel dreams (that will go somewhere else).
\nYou can share as much or as little as you want.
\nYou may have some favourite moments that you want to include or some disasters that you need to include.
\nI know it is only one page, but I am sure that you will work out which bits to include and which bits to put on a page in your other albums to make up for their omission here. (If you have that much information and more photographs)
\nTry to include at least one paragraph of information (although this is a topic that does warrant more) and at least one holiday snap even if you\u2019re not in it. And don\u2019t forget to date (as best as you can) the photograph.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am beautiful no matter what they say<\/span><\/div>\n
Words can’t bring me down<\/span><\/div>\n
I am beautiful in every single way<\/span><\/div>\n
Yes, words can’t bring me down<\/span><\/div>\n
So don’t you bring me down today\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
-Christina Aguilera \u2013 Beautiful Lyrics<\/div>\n

I am\u2026<\/span><\/span>
\nThis is a page of affirmations about you.
\nThere are no negative or bad things to be included on this page.
\nI want you to sit down with a pen and some paper, get a coffee or other soothing drink, take a deep breath and write some nice things about yourself.
\nAs hard as this may seem it really is quite easy.
\nAnd it\u2019s not vanity to write some honest affirmations about you.
\nBe sure to include a photograph of yourself (with an approximate date) and your list of affirmations after the title \u201cI am\u2026\u201d. A paragraph about your list is optional with this page. (Yes I\u2019m letting your off the journaling hook, except for the list thing)<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start a list here of possibilities for all of us:<\/span>
\nI am Alright
\nI am Artistic
\nI am Athletic
\nI am Beautiful
\nI am Bright
\nI am Creative
