It's time to unplug and wander where the Wi-Fi doesn't reach. Reconnect with nature, explore the outdoors and learn how to find little peace.

Adventure is calling, will you answer?

From @jtr's lovely post:

"Journalley blows this mental challenge away. It invites me to take notes and just notes. It’s the opposite of a chore. “Go ahead,” it winks at me, “spill the beans. Snap some pictures. We’ll work on the details later.” Suddenly, I’m free to let my mind go."

Love cracking open a new journal to write in!

This is a thank you to all the people who post about their love for writing and fountain pens on here. Having rekindled my interest in them and buying a new pen with some fantastic coloured ink by #diamineinks its taken me on a path to rediscover writing. I was journaling on my computer so a natural place to start and switch to paper. And this has led me to discover so many ideas that are good for the mind and soul, like #morningpages and #journaling in general. Which has gotten me into bullet journalling. The only downside is, I have started collecting fountain pens and inks! Love it, thank you! #bulletjournal

Irreal’s initial thoughts on Journelly: “As for Journelly itself, I like it. A lot.”

How writing for myself helps me understand my experiences, blending private journaling with public sharing. Discover the personal side of my blog.

This is an insightful read. Less of an instruction manual (thank god), and more revelations about how being an INFJ and writing often go hand-in-hand.

Much of it is anecdotal, which I'm not overly fond of. However, there have been a couple of gems worthy of my quotes journal. Like this one.

Enjoy the journey, and let your inner light shine brightly through your words.

You haven't gotten to writer level 2 yet if you haven't made yourself cry writing about everyday life. Yup, yup that's just happened to me don't judge. #WritingLife #writing #journaling

How does one patch up a broken reality? (Waves hand at everything around) If I felt poetic, I could say something profound regarding Kintsugi, the Japanese art of restoring broken ceramics artistically using silver and gold. But the truth is, most of the time all we have around is scotch tape and hope.
