I‘ve started journaling this year because I‘m reading a book called “My Healthy Noggin” by Bokinia Colbert that‘s about mental wellness journaling right now. The book has guided journal prompts and blank journal pages. Taylor Bradshaw asked this question in his Facebook group and this was my response.

I did not realize how very timely this banned book journal would end up being. I thought I would share with the #withthebanned crew in case they wanted to track their reading. It contains a bunch of information on book bans and how to fight them.
The author owns Bettie's Pages, a bookstore in Lowell, MI. I try to support the store with online orders because a bookstore like hers is much needed in that area of the state.

If you want to be tagged monthly let her know.
pickThis journal was such a delight. First published in 1972 there are some dated ideas, but then the author was living the times. Her Christianity was not a problem for me as I was raised in the Catholic tradition (non practicing now). Her musings about the writing process & craft, about literature, culture & politics made for thoughtful & reflective reading. I quoted some of her thoughts here.I do want to read the 2nd( of 4) journal.
Here‘s another journaling thing I looked up. I wanted to know if there were Afternoon Pages like there are Morning and Night Pages. I‘ve done Afternoon Pages and Night Pages before and the last 2 days, I tried Morning Pages because I had to get up early. I‘ve never tried guided journaling before. I‘ve done Afternoon Pages before and I feel like that works for me because I don‘t get up early. If I don‘t do it at noon then I can do it at night.
This morning, I did some upside drawing with this picture turned upside down. I tried to draw it just by looking at it. All I know how to draw is stick figures. I don‘t know if I like how my drawing turned out or not. Maybe I should do more upside down drawing. After that, I did Morning Pages. I‘ve never done this before. I‘ve only been doing Night Pages before bed along with a book I‘m currently reading.
