LOL at the nosey ones!

oh I would so like to encourage you to use pen and paper! I feel that somehow the connection between brain and body is easier when handwriting. I'm certain of this for my self. Something at a cellular level - its quite profound.

Just gets everything knitted up nicely :h6)

with journal, I just waited for it to evolve with me. I only had 2 words written in it at first. Very simple. Gradually I found my own style. I did find that easy over time, but for a helping hand, see the journal in the store 'Your Body Speaks' and see the step 2 lists and classes.

Doesn't matter what you write in it. Remember - No judgement here.

I use an ordinary cheap notebook, but I am choosy about the pen, which has to be black :h10) I write praises and notes in there, write plans and draw stars, all sorts :h11) I keep mine in my breakfast place by the french windows down the side of the sofa. Its too big to carry to work etc, so I carry a bit of paper in my pocket and transfer over later.

we have a guest the next few days...as to my family it wouldnt occur to them to look in my journal... but for privacy journal is moving for a while to my bedside. (My old ones live in the wardrobe). So I know that I have to remind myself of this little change ( easy to forget and then a day is gone!)

what would suit you? a handbag sized one for keeping close to you? or a special 'home' place to keep it? what sort of ideas appeal to you?
