How Did You Begin?

While looking at websites tonight I began to wonder how and why others began to keep journals, online, paper or otherwise. For me, keeping a journal was something I’d always wanted to do. I made the odd entry here and there, but never made a serious attempt until I read an article in a writing […]

Holocaust Dairy

This story reveals yet another Holocaust diary unearthed after some 60 years. According to the story the diary belonged to a 14 year old Polish Jew whose last entry was just before she was taken to a concentration camp. Her neighbour and friend kept the hidden diary all this time. Sadly, the author is […]

Journal Writing When You’re Bored?

I came across this entry on a website called Bored Gourd. A member of this website submitted an article about journal writing, which was submitted as an activity to indulge in when you’re feeling bored.
I can’t help but disagree. After reading the article I see there’s nothing I disagree with there, but I simply can’t […]

Photo of New Journal

Ok, I promised a photo of my daughter’s new journal. Today I managed to squeeze in a quick moment to snap off a few shots. This is a pic of the front cover. The back is just pale blue, like the palest circles on the front.

Journal Shopping

I spent the morning with my daughter shopping for just the right journal. She needed one that wasn’t too thick, with lines, would lay flat when open and had an attractive cover. We did the rounds of all the stores selling journals in the one shopping centre. Some were gorgeous but too pricey. Others weren’t […]

Facing Goodbyes

One thing I’ve always disliked is saying goodbye. I don’t avoid it, though I know many people do. Today I took my mother to the airport for her journey home. I watched the plane taxi along the runway and jet off into the sky with my two year old son. He was quite happy to […]

Scrabble Prompts

While my mother has been visiting we’ve played a lot more Scrabble; at least more than we usually do. I often notice the way words are repeated throughout the one game or evening. Themes occur and new words are uncovered each time I play.
Just playing the game has encouraged me to think about […]

Found Journals

I read this news story with interest today. Imagine finding 61 diaries, several by the same authors, written in and around 1889? I can just picture the staff from the Johnstown Area Heritage Association reading these journals and trying not to be too excited.
Most of the diaries chronicle an important moment of history for […]

The Roles We Play

I came across this article tonight. The aim of the article and website is holistic healing, but I thought the exercise was a worthwhile journal writing exercise. Read the article for more information. I suggest leaving a few pages blank so you can add to your list over several days. Think on the roles you […]
