Evolution of a Journal

What started out on tear stained pages in locked diaries full of teenage angst and heartbreak has evolved into a bullet journal or "bujo" as they are called.

It is a journal, to do list, planner and creative outlet for doodles, dreams, goals and anything else you can think of.

Over the years I have tried all kinds of different techniques, typing it into my computer, pretty books, fountain pens but always struggled, because it didn't hold my interest unless I was unhappy and needed to vent. 

Most recently my yoga teacher wanted us to keep a daily journal and I managed to make about 3 entries a week since last May.  I also have a weekly planner page that I made in libre office writer for organizing my life and that I keep up to date.  I like lists and I like to be very organized.  The bullet journal is the merging of the 2 and I am excited to have encountered great blogs and sites that deal solely with bujo's.

Here is the start of mine 2 days ago....

In June while on vacation I found a tea store selling hand tied leaves.  What a fantastic aroma of jasmine.  It is the Madame Butterfly tea by Capital Teas (www.capitalteas.com).  It was very expensive and I just couldn't afford it but they certainly had lots of great teas. My most recent vacation in Florida found me in the Spice and Tea Exchange (www.spiceandtea.com) where I purchased a small bag of loose leaf hazelnut cookie tea.  Ceylon black base so not my usual herbal but wonderful smell and tastes very rich.  An enjoyable tea....

700 Hours of Learning....start now!

Here goes I am embarking on a two year adventure into myself and the world around me through yoga, massage, coaching and other modalities.  With this journey comes a great reading list and journaling.  This is not something I have ever been able to keep up, with much regularity, as you can see from my posts here.....lol One day I may succeed as I continue to practice for the next two years. I have received the reading list and am happy to have just finished Yoga Sequencing:  Designing Transformative Yoga Classes by Mark Stephens.  This book was suggested to me and for obvious reason, it is incredibly informative.  As a beginning yoga teacher it provided great pictures and foundations for infinite classes that I am now able to create.  It will continue to be on my bookshelf as an excellent reference,and I could reread it still getting useful information a second or third time.  Now I will delve further into this genre of reading with Yoga Anatomy by L...
