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 !!!

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

Friday’s Follies…

So we made it back home from our family get together out at the Outerbanks, NC…We all had a really great time. I did get some really amazing pictures of the sunsets. As you can see. Can hardly wait to see the pictures. I might as well listen to our first song. We have a lot of songs that we love, but his was one of our favorites.

The main purpose of the trip was to get family photo’s by the ocean w/a professional photographer so it was a success. Y A Y for me and Connie (our youngest) as he really did most of the preps…

When I get the pictures, I’ll post about that vacation. We all say, ” Same time, next year !!! “ So I’m thinking it was a success.

Today I came across an entry in my, “Common Place” book I thought I would like to share.

7 Cardinal Rules for Life

  1. Make peace w/your past so it won’t disturb your present
  2. What other people think of you is none of your business
  3. Time heals almost everything, give it time.
  4. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
  5. Don’t compare your life to other’s and don’t judge them, you gave no idea what their journey is all about.
  6. Stop thinking too much. It’s alright not to know all the answers. They will come to you when you least expect it. Last but certainly not least, and probably the most important rule of all…
  7. Smile 🥰. You don’t own all the problems in the world

A little advice to pack away for a rainy day. Let’s have the best weekend ever. Enjoying another amazing Fall day in the midwest !!!
