New Year, Same Bullet Journal

A quick note: this post was mostly written in early 2020. I never had the chance to post it then, between personal struggles and the start of the covid19 pandemic. But the information is good, and I want it to live here for those who are debating continuing in the same journal or starting a new one.

All my life my love of books has helped define me. As a kid I was more likely to have my nose in a book than sitting in front of the tv.

I love a good story, the feel of pages in my hands, getting so immersed in what I’m reading that I lose track of where I am and how much time has passed. All that, and yet looking back, I maybe read a handful of books in all of 2016. What happened?…

Bullet Journal – October to November

A new video walk-through of my bullet journal! I’ve been playing with my camera and editing programs for a while trying to get a video out. It’s been a whole new learning curve for me. I know I have room for improvement, but you are never perfect when you first start learning, right? Anyway, I hope you enjoy this little look at my bullet journal. I go into a little more detail on what did and didn’t work for me in October below. October was the first month I used this layout and I love it. I see myself using…
