Journaling Practices

I journal, journal journal! Make the journal booklets, sometimes...buy them ready made...yes ...but the main goal is to enter stuff into the journal.

I am participating in a group  this year, Documented Life Project.  Headed up by a talented group of women, 5 of them, I will list 1...Roben-Marie Smith and you can read about the information on her blog through www.robenmarie.com 

We take a journal, or in my case I took an agenda/journal and I use it to incorporate scheduled practices as well as the prompts offered within the group but, I found I really like to add everyday things to the pages and that tells me and anyone looking through the book, what has been happening.

I found out right away I do a LOT more than I realized and I go places a lot more than I thought.

I used a Moleskine agenda book.  Already it had the calendar.  The pages are bit thinner than I like so I prepared pages before I used them, that helped prevent bleeding through and the like.

Here are a few spreads:

Another journal group I belong to is helping me grow personally.  "One Little Word 2014" by Ali Edwards.

I don't have pictures to offer, but she helps us to learn through one word...more.  I chose "Listen"
I am late to joining this group so I am still working on month 1 while everyone else is in month 2.
If you are interested in learning more about her and the group go to:

I also practice sketch and painting and techniques in other journals, so I keep a  lot of journals going.  A girl can't have toooo many!

Pick up a journal today and either just write, dump the day, do a little doodle...experience the freeing of the spirit.

Have a terrific Day!

Permission Slip

Our first tributary on our newest journey was giving ourselves permission to...

as I listed my permission statements to myself, I realized that they sure flowed over to other areas of life. Now this of course is not an AHA revelation but, as we are examining our "souls" and why we are and try to become who we truly are...it IS important to correlate when it deems fit.

I haven't written it all out but I did examine it.

My picture shows that I have done my permission slip and an envelope is ready to take the slip in. Since this picture I did give myself permission ;) to elaborate a bit more on my journal pages.

I haven't finished so there isn't a final picture.

I shall post it when it is finished though.

And guess what just happened...I hit spell check and had zero errors.

This is amazing!
