Over the years I have gone in spurts, writing then not, writing again. Now, more than ever, I feel the necessity for this time of quiet introspection.
I have been researching the traveler style notebook, loving the name, the flexible cover. The idea that it would hold multiple notebooks, serving different purposes, that could then be replaced when full was extremely appealing.
I decided to give it a shot and opted for an inexpensive version I found online.
It arrived on Saturday and I was writing in it that evening.
I love it!
Now, if you are new to the concept let me say there are a ton of tutorials online on how you can make your own version relatively inexpensively. I however, after looking at materials thought the price for this one ($22.29 with shipping) was a fair price when you included the notebooks. I honestly don’t think I could have made it for that. (Although I am contemplating making more 😉
So why this an not just a regular notebook?
For me it’s purely the aesthetic.
Something that I love to look at, hold in my hand, makes me want to write in it more often. It’s that simple.
I also really love that one cover holds multiple notebooks (those of which you can easily make yourself) and when full these notebooks are stored and new ones take their place.
Brilliant!
For 2015 my goal is to journal more often. I am not setting a specific number, just to be more aware of that voice with in. And strive to connect to it as much as I can.
