Peaks & Valleys

One of the things I notice on rereading my old journals are the peaks and valleys I go through in my life, not only in my moods, but in every aspect. There are ups & downs when it comes to money, mood, activity, creativity, industry, esteem, and so on. Try tracking just one of these, […]

Exhibition Includes Travel Journals

After reading this news story I was a little envious. The Through the Whole Island: excursions in Great Britain exhibition uses travel as the theme to bring together an “eclectic mix of exhibits.” The exhibiton is named after the book by Daniel Defoe titled: A Tour Through the Whole Island of Great Britain.

There are also loads of worksheet style pages to print out, too. While the prompts are on a teaching website, they are geared towards children. But, I see […]

Journal Writing Date

Just over the weekend and the last few days I’ve been incredibly busy. So busy I haven’t had my usual afternoon journal sessions. Today I made a journal date, a bit like an artist date, and sat for a while and played in my journal. I didn’t worry too much about catching up with the […]

Write for Hope

Tonight, while reading online, I came across this news story. Paper Mate and City of Hope Cancer Center presented a six-foot tall pink journal for people to sign their messages of hope to breast cancer sufferers all over the US. I like the idea of using the huge journal as a place for people to […]
