AtoZ “C”

I’m not sure why I’m always a day late but hopefully I’ll catch up today. Probably b/c of the wonky weather we had on Wednesday…

I’m going to share my (C)ommonplace Book with your today. I started this book back in 2012. It’s a place where I write down things that strike a chord with me…Usually it is a profound quote that we all are familiar with, but sometimes I do write some pearls of wisdom that I have often said.

My Commonplace book

The outside got ruined some how and the husband tried to fix it. He did his best but then he said that just added to the charm of this book. I have to agree with him 🙂 …

Commonplace Book
Power of a Dog/Rudyard Kipling

This is truly one of my happy places. I read it often. I have an, “Inbox” where I keep scraps of paper’s with things written on them that I want to add to this book.

I’ll share more of it in future posts. Happy Friday !!! Y A Y for the weekend…

AtoZ Theme Reveal

Happy Wednesday Blogger’s…Today I’m going to announce my, “Theme Reveal” for the April Challenge AtoZ … I absolutely love, love, love this challenge and it is great for a number of reasons.

It helps me to stay focused on what is important in my life. My motivation for this is, I love to write. It started when I was young girl and we had to read, “The Diary of Anne Frank”. That made such an impact on me and I realized the importance of writing.

So actually my theme is writing. I’m going to share with you everything, well not actually everything I have written. I write a lot … I have my commonplace book, my planner, my junk journals, my 10 year journal, my morning pages journal, my traveler’s journal !!! I could go on and on, but I think you get it.

I realized that Anne Frank didn’t realize she was going to have her diary as required reading in school’s when she was creating her diary. I am so thankful for reading that book and being able to read and write. They both are truly a gift.

Here are just a few pics of my different journal’s I will share with you…So happy to be back with this community. It truly has made a difference in my life on so many levels !!!

My Commonplace book
My Junk Journal
My “TN” Travelor’s Notbook
Travelor’s Notebook
Summer TN
Travelor’s Notebook

Last year when I broke my right arm, not being able to do the physical act of writing was the worst thing ever. I’m so thankful to be able to write again with my right hand.

I’m hoping to get some new follower’s, and I hope you enjoy all of my craziness and love of journaling, writing and creating. Blessings to all and it’s going to be a great

Let’s write a list …

November’s Gratitude

I’m going to throw one of my favorite song’s in here to listen to while you read. I first heard this song watching our youngest perform on stage when he was a dancer and fell in love with it !!!

7 Cardinal Rules for my Life

1. I have made peace with my past so that it won’t disturb my present.

2. What other people think of me is none of my business. 😉

3. Time has healed almost everything. I give it time.

4. I am in charge of my happiness 🙂 .

5. I don’t compare my life to anyone and I don’t judge. I have no idea what their journey is all about.

6. I don’t think too much. It’s alright not to know all the answers. They will come to me when I least expect it.

Finally last, but not least and probably the most important to living a life of gratitude is to remember #7 everyday. Because, “If you act as if, it will become a part of you…” So always remember to ” S M I L E !!! ” 🙂

7. Smile 🙂 . You don’t own all the problems in the world

Let’s have the best November ever. Remember to say, “Thank You”. Try to always be grateful. Life is too short to be anything but happy…

Tuesday’s Travelor’s Noteook

Happy Tuesday Blogger’s. I have a question, “Do you think the sun is ever going to shine again???” It has been forever and they said on the weather last night we’ve only had 18 percent of sunshine this month…It’s kind of dreary but I guess it’s cold so who really cares. I don’t want to go out anyways. I’m not a cold weather person, still living in the Midwest.

Ah, but I still have my glorious planner’s. Today I’m getting my Traveler’s Notebooks set up for this year. I’ll refer to them as TN’s b/c it’s just shorter. I can’t decide which one I’m going to use. My featured picture is of both of the traveler’s notebooks that I’m trying to deciding to use.

I’ve been using the black one but it’s just black, no personality. It is velvet on the outside and I don’t worry about it getting dirty, but it might get wet. Then I have the other one. It’s kind of busy and my inserts might clash with the outside, but it is one from my fav’s #theplannersociety…

I also have bought some really cool inserts all the way from the Ukraine. They are suppose to be delivered on Friday. They are monthly inserts and they are the best. I’ll make sure I post up the final product, inserts and all. Here are a few pics of the TN I’m using now. I really love it. It is one of my favorite planner’s of all. Best of all, it doesn’t need charging and I always know right where to look for something. There is something to be said for having a, “Hard Copy.” The TN fits right in my purse and I never leave home w/o my it !!!! Here are a few pics of the TN I’m using now. I really love, love, love it <3 Happy Tuesday again <3

Wednesday’s Words

Good morning Blogger’s, hope everyone’s week is going smoothly. It seems to be a bit stressful at this point in our nation, but as my very wise grandmama use to say (and say quite often) “This too shall pass !!!” So what I’m doing at this point in my week is going to my happy place. That would be my Daily Planner. I have Mz. Serena up and running, (pictured below) and I’m also starting to set up, “The Mother Ship.” She will be my planner that keeps everything that is near and dear to my heart.

I really love planning my day !!! It just looks so pretty…I’m going to be posting what I do with my planner which for now I will call the Mother Ship. This year I am going to devote to J O Y !!!! Anything that does not bring joy into my life, well it is going to be removed. Life is short and I’m not wasting anymore time on things that do not bring me J O Y. My blog is a happy place for me and brings me joy. I love to write, I love to plan. Let’s do this <3 Happy Hump Day <3
