Educator Gifts.

Because we are so honored to have the most amazing

team members at our centre, it was important to both

of us that we celebrate and honor them. For our first

day of operation, we gifted them each a journal, a

key and a star, representing memories they can write

about, the key that they hold to each child's heart,

and the star because they are all "rock stars!" It was

fun to watch them open their gifts. We are thankful!

Journaling.

I started journaling when I was a child.

My first diary had a little gold lock on it

and it felt so very grown up to be able to

write my thoughts and then lock them up.

Since then, I've used lined journals, blank

journals, online journals and hemp journals.

All gave and continue to give me a sacred

place to record my life, my ideas, my dreams.

My 2 new journals for 2017 include the smaller version

in the upper photo and the black floral version below.

The white journal is my Art Journal ~ a place to flesh

out my art projects and to do some mixed media in

the journal itself. The second journal is for my daily

ideas, notes and lists to keep me on track. I'll also use

this blog as another option for recording and reflecting

on life. I have no plans for the journals once they fill

up, other than I tuck them away for safe keeping. I

have gone back to re~read my words and am always

encouraged by the growth and raw energy of my life.

Inspiring on days when life proves to be extra hard.

Do you journal or keep a journal?
