Breathe It All In ... Love

Original Photography by Kristine

I never thought of myself as a journaler, but as time goes on I think I may fit into that category.

I have always had some type of a journal or diary. I started with a light blue child-like diary with a key in grade school. I then moved on to composition books, and then to typing journal entries in my teens and placing them in a three ring binder. (All of which I still have!).

In the past few years I have been journaling in a different way. Most memories - Such as photos, napkins, coasters and ticket stubs make their way into a leather bound moleskin that I purchased as a planner that I turned into a journal. Recently, I have been working between this journal, a travelers notebook and an A5 size leather journal that houses each milestone. Each memory. Each moment.

I recently purchased (as a gift from my folks for my birthday) my first Erin Condren Notebook which I have been adding titles to pages to keep all my thoughts in one place. I have sections for Books, Movies, Ebay, Etsy, Online Courses Etc. I have to say, I am very happy with this purchase. It houses all my likes in one spiral notebook. You are able to customize the covers (w initials), it also comes with different colored top border sections, a heavy double sided folder and two sheets of stickers for highlighting important notes. I highly recommend this great quality notebook for anyone who does not need a planner, but wants to keep track of their daily lives in one beautifully made book!

I would love to hear if anyone has purchased an Erin Condren Notebook (and your thoughts!) or just your ways of keeping organized!

Love Story in Burlington, VT ...

It started the morning I decided to visit Muddy Waters (Coffee House) in Burlington, Vermont. I was told by the locals that if I was looking for a quiet place to write and enjoy a good cup of java, this was the place. I entered into a few different level rooms containing booths, cozy benches and chairs. After ordering an Iced Machiatto, I settled into a nice corner bench adjacent to a bookshelf. It was quiet, the perfect seat to get some reading done. My reason for spending a quiet morning here was to work through a few more chapters in The Artist's Way. (Julia Cameron's ~ Guide to Inspire Artists). Upon looking around, I noticed that there was a small, rolled up piece of paper tucked away in the brick wall behind me. At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move. Pushing these paranoid thoughts aside, I reached over, read it and I was elated
