Back in 2019, I had crossed off one of my first goals that I said I would complete. I had ran
my first half marathon. When I finished my race that day, my husband and two year old at the time, decided to take a nap, and I went outside to lay out in the sun. I was so proud of myself that day, but my mind immediately began to wonder about something else that had been placed on my heart.
I began to dream about this baby right here.
I knew I wanted to create a journal. I didn't know quite how to do this. I immediately began talking myself out of it, and how there was no way it could work. But I still wanted to publish a journal. I wanted it to have deep and meaningful prompts, that really served as a guide. That helped people dig deep and experience what I have experienced in my journaling journey. I wanted to share quotes that had inspired me along the way. I wanted to share tips and tricks to help people get to a place within in their mind, that may have been hard for them to do on their own.
Why?
Because "there is power in the ink of our pen". There is wisdom down deep within us. The answers that we are seeking, the next right step, the unsaid prayers, its within us. We just have a hard time getting it out, because our minds are so busy. I have learned this about myself. I have seen the wisdom that hides within me. I have reread over something and thought, dang who is this girl talking?
This journal will do just that.
___
"I want you to pick up this journal, and challenge yourself to just one journal prompt a day. Just one. And gift yourself a minimum of 15 minutes to yourself. To allow yourself to pause, turn inward, express some gratitude and continue on with your day. I promise that 15 minutes will act as a release, a moment of fresh air, and allow you to disconnect in order to reconnect. Challenge yourself to one question a day, and then pair it with your quote of the day.
This journal pairs nicely with a cup of coffee, a morning on the back patio, or an evening buried under your weighted blanket… just me? This journal was created with so much love and intention, and it is my prayer that it brings you some yummy moments. Moments that make you think. Moments where you might cry. Moments where you can truly be raw, authentic and yourself. Hold nothing back my friend."
