This afternoon I spent a long time waiting at the Perth International Airport. My sister-in-law has been away in Malaysia & Cambodia. As I waited I was able to enjoy one of my other favourite pastimes; people watching. The international airport is actually a great place to watch people. There’s the expectant faces, the eagerness […]

For me, starting each journal entry is simply a matter of noting the date and beginning to write. But I’m not sure I’ve ever mentioned ending an entry. For some reason I always sign my name, just my first name, when I’ve completed an entry for the day. If I know I’m going to write […]

I know I’ve left this a little late, but I may as well pass on this news if you didn’t already know it. Tools with Heart are having another sale. The savings are seriously good, especially if you’re after the lined journal refill papers for some of their specialised journals or just a new journal. […]

So, it was Toddmen, who often comments on this blog, who got me searching for a book for journal writers on lists. I vaguely recall someone mentioning it once. These are the books I came up with.
Listography Journal: Your Life in Lists
List Your Self: Listmaking as the Way to Self-Discovery
More List Your Self: Listmaking […]

While reading Shai Coggins blog today I came across her latest entry; To Do: Create 100 Things List. I just couldn’t help passing on this excellent idea. Although, Shai is encouraging you to write your list of 100 for your blog, I’m going to encourage you to write your list in your journal.
Dedicate a […]
