Journaling & Snail Mail= Life

Some spreads from my completed commonplace book ☆

This was my first time consciously keeping a commonplace book, but I had lived my whole life collecting random quotes from here and there, so getting the hang of it was almost effortless. I'm now moving into a slightly bigger book and changing a few things from the system that didn’t work for me. I'm excited to look back on this commonplace book on the future and see glimpses of who I was when I worked on it; I'm glad I decided to start it.

Just trying to get through each day. Hang in there, everybody.

Random song popped in my head, so I decided to copy down the lyrics into my notebook.

I’m excited to share my collaboration with So Typical Me! You can now find these planners and notebooks with my artwork, and you can easily customize the planner’s start date, pick your favorite layout, add extra pages, and more! Customize your own here.

Living with a chronic condition means learning acceptance. But how much do I learn to let go of and accept and how much do I continue to strive for dreams and goals? It’s a question I hope to work out in therapy and by journaling. Anyone else with chronic conditions have any tips or insights?

I like to journal about books I read (especially the ones I really like) to get my thoughts down before I post reviews to Goodreads and StoryGraph.

I dared to stick a sticker between the pages. 😮 😂

My trusty trio.

Flip through.

These three notebooks are helping to organize the chaos in my brain.

How’s your Hobonichi 5-Year Techo journaling going? ✒️ I look forward to updating mine every day. Just having an excuse to play with my fountain pens and stationery supplies makes it worth it. Heh. TGIF!
