This is a really beautiful and inspirational quote, and one that I feel speaks very personally to me now at this point in my life. Thank you for sharing it. I also love the very unique arrangement of this layout. This large photo is so striking -- the beautiful blue texture of the water in the background serves almost as its own background paper, with the profile of the man framed and highlighted almost as though it's separate from the rest of the photo. That is such a unique effect, and the large branch peeking out of the frame into the 'background' only adds to it. Fantastic work!
I love, love, love the quote! It expresses the truth beautifully. Your layout is gorgeous. Allowing the photo and the quote to take center stage was a good choice. Your cluster work is so subtle, but compliments the theme of the page perfectly.
Love how you blended this photo perfectly into your page! I really like how you framed the subject. Your journaling quote finishes this page to perfection!
