Happiness is the New Rich ~ Growing in Unity 2023 Day Two

For Day Two, I've selected Begin Anew from the Unity Kit of the Month, March 2020.  For the sentiment, I'm using Graciellie Designs, Start Anew.  

I started this card by selecting the sentiment first.  A little backwards you might think, but sometimes the message you are sending is where your card should start. 

As you look at today's card, pause to really focus on the beautiful sentiment that Gracie has provided. Your 'Happiness' is very important and makes you rich. Having true 'Inner Peace' makes you more successful than any job or amount of money.  Your 'Health' should not be ignored, it is a true gift from God. Take care of SELF.  Wouldn't our current world be so much better if 'Kindness' was in abundance?  Being kind will always work it's way back to you. 

All of those thoughts led me to wanting to make a card with one of the Unity girls looking out the window and reflecting on something beautiful.  

I made this card mostly white with multiple layers to represent pureness.  As we start the new year, look for ways to make your life happy and healthy.  Learn to say no and to focus on the positives that will give you inner peace.  Always toss in a little kindness, it's good for your soul and enriches the other person.
