The issue of what to do with your journals when you die came up in a group discussion online recently. I was interested in the comments about what to do with those entries you felt might hurt someone needlessly, or reveal something about yourself you didn’t feel happy leaving with your family. I’ve often […]
As I read more personal blogs, I see the need for people to keep their thoughts personal. I am all for expressing yourself in a journal, but I personally don’t feel it should be shared with the world. If these blogs are written well, perhaps there is a chance the writing is interesting enough to […]
Today is Friday and that means it’s Freaky Friday. If you need to know more about this journal writing challenge please read the First Freaky Friday entry.
After reading this news story I thought about the times I came across my children’s diaries or journals. I just couldn’t bring myself to invade their personal space and […]
My daughter mentioned she’d come across the website for the TV show Numb3rs, then found this very cool website called We All Use Math Every Day. My daughter is a number freak. I was curious enough to go and have a look, though. There were some interesting maths activities, but I remembered that Cryptography is […]

In an update of this story I came across news that Prince Charles has finally won the legal battle over the privacy of a number of his personal journals.

Teachers and psychologists express their opinions on why the girl would choose to share her journal entries in this way. Was it a cry for help?
I think […]
I’ve seen password protection on journals that are like small word processors, but not on a paper journal. I came across this one last night, which is clearly aimed at teens, but is gorgeous enough for nearly any girl to enjoy. I’m sure there are others available, but they’re very difficult to locate. I’ve done […]
One of the things I’ve always appreciated about keeping a journal is the guarantee of a safe haven. So long as you are able to keep your writing completely private you can write anything you like there.
The need for privacy is important. Your private musings could be taken out of context by anyone else. […]
After writing yesterday’s blog entry I had to think more about journal writing and privacy. The issue of teen privacy when it comes to journals and diaries came up with my own teens today in conversation. I have always told my two teens I will never read their journal and have kept to that promise. […]
