Time Out #203 begins today, We are challenged to create a project with the theme of "Inspiration" and an optional twist of layers. So much room for interpretation there.
The challenge runs from Thursday, December 16th to Wednesday, December 29th.

My card was inspired by one of my twin sons who is graduating from College in January. His aspiration is to be a High School Social Studies teacher and a Lacrosse Coach. I had the pure joy of reading a journal and a personal note and a letter of recommendation that his mentor teacher and his students put together for him as a parting gift from student teaching. I was in awe as I peered through a window into his life that I never would have experienced, had they not done this for him. It was beautiful, and wonderful and I had to grab a mop to soak up my tears of pride and wonderment. Inspiring?? You bet. The inside of my card reads "You have never been more ready to succeed". The kid is on fire, and I could not be more joyful, pleased and proud. Congratulations, Jon. Go light the world on fire. It certainly needs your gifts.
