A couple of years ago - or more - I realized how wonderful it is to journal.

There are no rules. My journal is my diary, my sketchbook, my idea notebook,

my photo album, and my scrapbook, all rolled into one.

Actually, I love blank books. And it was a relief one day when I gave myself

permission to write in ANY of them, at ANY time. They did not have to be

used in chronological order.

These journals are mine. For me. To be used by me however I choose.

Visual journaling is a great form of therapy.

Personal expression. They are my way of recording my life.

I have photographed many, many, many pages of my journals

thinking that I might use them in some way, someday.
