Journaling

Here I am back to blogging. Yup, back but only to announce that I now have a more regular passion. I missed the feel of writing with my pen on a crisp sheet of paper. The feel of my leather notebook(s) are much more inviting than my laptop's keyboard. Yes, what I am saying is that I am going back to basics and loving it!

I have been journaling all my life and have always been in

touch with what I am feeling and thinking at any given time. I realized that the more I write (and yes, pray) the less talkative I am. So if you are a friend of mine and you find me talkative, I am not doing enough of either writing or praying.

These days, I have been hugging my journal and bringing it along with me wherever I go. I write, paste, cut, do something with the pages or do something to have something to write on the pages. Whenever i am on the computer, I look for journaling ideas and i could sometimes spend hours oogling over wonderful artistically done pages by others.

My new "likes" are the Kikki K. shop for their straight forward journaling kits. The inspirations coming from Nadja and Enan of Alunsina (maker of my handmade leather journal), my newly discovered artist and writer, Keri Smith (author of "How to be an explorer of the world" and "wreck this journal"), Papemelroti (for the stickers and paper cut-outs), my friends Toni (for always pointing me to the right direction/shop) and Pido (for always inspiring me to write- no edits).

One night, I couldn't sleep and scribbled about journaling way near dawn. Next think I knew, i was being led to one store and person after the other. I feel like the universe is conspiring with my new love. Nice work!
