One of my closest and bestest sista-friends presented this journal to me during one of our road-trip/shopping sprees. Aside from being inspired by the giver, I adore this particular journal for several reasons — such as seeing the phrases on the cover — which inspired what I wrote inside! 
But that is not the point of this post.
The point is: Journals host the footnotes of your-story.
A journal may be maintained in various formats: blog, photographic, collaged, hand-written. Journals can be where you track your thoughts, map your dream and even find comfort in your own words.
Historically, people have maintained personal journals via logs, letters and hand-written entries in cloth-bound books. Faded ink records the thoughts, feelings, hopes, and fears of people who served as world leaders, accomplished famous stuff and people who plowed fields, rocked cradles and happily lived anonymously.
Journaling for creative planners proves to be an excellent way to discover common threads of thought. And forget about rules such as “write everyday” … “proper writing” — and everything in between! Just begin. Discover what works with your lifestyle, schedule and artistic preferences.
