Journaling is like blogging

Everyone has tried it but very few people make it a part of their daily lives.

Have you’ve forgotten precious memories? Have ideas slipped through your fingers like sand? Or do you wonder if there will be any record of you when you’re gone?

There are so many valid reasons to journal. If for no other reason, it is rare to find a true friend in whom one can confide. A journal is a splendid alternative, because the words are never lost or forgotten.

But how do you go about journaling? Doesn’t it get old or repetitive? How does anyone decide what to write about, anyway?

These are topics I tackle on this blog. I’ve filled 30+ journals with my thoughts, ideas, and memories.

I hope you’ll stick around and try a few journal prompts if nothing else.

Not sure how to start?

• Buy an affordable journal (like this one or this one)
