Did you know that most people give up on a goal only two weeks after setting it? Despite having told ourselves that it's something we really want to do or achieve, when our goals come up against the test of time, most of them crumble. One of the ways to make sure that our goals stay top of mind though is writing them down, and what better place to do that than in our journals!

If time and time again, you're setting yourself goals only to not achieve them, we can start ..read more

There are so many approaches to journaling on the road whether you are documenting your travels or keeping up your normal journaling habits. May Flaum here, and today I’m so excited to share with you how I’ve gotten more satisfaction and joy out of my supplies while I’m away from my home craft supplies.

The result? My complete and utter fascination with journaling and memory keeping ‘on ..read more
