[My diaries: 2003 - 2009]

Pssst. I'm doing a wholeheARTed giveaway with the very inspiring Ms Brene Brown today to celebrate the conclusion of her fantastic book read-along, and to spread some cupcake happiness on this TGI Friday:

I'm trusting that timing is everything, that I am moving in the right direction, and that the breadcrumbs I keep finding are going to come together in a big loaf of achievement.

I'm grateful for the new yoga centre that has opened five minutes from my house, and for yesterday's discovery of a free running class I can join on Wednesday evenings. If the exercising is easy to get to I'm more likely to stick with it.

I'm inspired by these fabulous Moleskine cahiers on Etsy. The brown covers are just begging to be decorated and it pleases me no end that some creative souls have done just that. I've probably mentioned my fetish for Moleskines too many times on this blog, but i can't help it - there's something magical about those notebooks, with their super smooth pages and no-nonsense covers. Maybe it's because I use them for my diaries and the magic comes from the words i write, the soul searching and brain excavation  - whatever it is, I'm hooked.

Bravo to you for keeping at least your size and shapes of journals/diarys consistant...

Uggh.. i have a big ol box in storage filled to the top of YEARS of journals -- i wish i had kept them consistant for easy storage (looks good on a book shelf) and access!

Love your information..

TTFN~~Claudia

i love those little brown covered moleskines. i carry one in my purse, always decorated,(current one has stickers), so that i can write down potential appointments with new clients, write down songs from the radio that i can buy from i-Tunes and as a general list-maker, because most of my inspiration comes at the wrong time ie: driving or on the train!

That's a lot of notebooks! I only have about that amount, if not less, for the years 1999 - 2009... and half of mine are filled with teenage babble... I'm envious :)
