Back in September 2007, I wrote a rambling post (I know this shocks you) that ended with a photo of the Moleskine that Marika sent and personalized for me with stickers of Maleficent, Diablo, and the owl from Disney’s Sleeping Beauty. That book has become the repository for many a memento–so though it hasn’t been used technically as a journal, it does tell a story (including many of my political views, movie favorites, voting records, organizations I support, photos that are special favorites of mine). As you can see, though there are some blank pages left, the Malefi-skine has been well used.
No worries about running out of space, however, because Marika has, on separate occasions, sent two more.
While reading a post on Dawn’s blog, I began to remember how I once stumbled over my Morning Pages several years after I semi-did Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way. I was surprised back then to see that many of my writing hopes had subsequently come true. So after reading Dawn’s post, I decided, I need to keep a manifestation journal. When I went looking for the extra Moleskines, I discovered that either Marika or I had put a sticker she also sent me on the front of one of those blank books.
There’s nothing wrong with being a dreamer. Put the work with your dreams, and they can come true. Thanks for the reminder, Marika and Dawn. On with the Lennon-skine.
I have to thank you for two things! First off, I’m excited about the idea of a manifestation journal, and downloaded a Visionboard app for my iPad so that I could get started on a version of one myself. Secondly, thank you for “introducing” me to Marika through your blog – Marika, if you’re reading this, I picked up your book “Phone Kitten” because I recognized your name through Becky – and I really enjoyed it! Such a fun book! 🙂
I agree–Phone Kitten is a lot of fun. And it’s always nice when we can all encourage one another in our creativity.
First, I merely sent the stickers and the Moleskine, you applied them – I think, although I will say that is the one that screamed BECKY the most to me.
And thank you so much Dawn! I am so glad to hear you liked Phone Kitten, I’m a bit in love with Emily, so I always like it when other people like her as well! I appreciate the kind words … and the book sale!
The sticker was a good choice. Thank you again.
I used my Moleskine as my secret journal and I wrote all my entries backwards. Today I can only read it by using a mirror.
Seriously? That seems like a lot of work!
I love Moleskine journals.
The Lennon sticker is marvelous.
I participated in doing The Artist’s Way, too.
I really love the idea of a manifestation journal.
VERY inspiring!
🙂
I didn’t do the full-on Artist’s Way, but I can’t tell you how often I open that book and also Finding Water and draw inspiration from them.
I now have three things in my manifestation journal. =)
I need to have that reminder in front of me on a daily basis…
We all need a reminder now and again.
