Do you ever have one of those days where from the moment you wake up you feel that you are being pulled in several different directions, you have more things to do than hours in the day to do them, and you just want to go back to bed, pull the covers over your head, and try it again the next day?
Today is one of those days for me.
Our mantra has always been, “There is no such thing as a journal emergency.”
We both have the tendency to lose perspective of this at times and get caught up in the whirl and spin of orders needing to ship, journals needing to be made, and our customers needing to be put first.
When this happens, our breathing is shallow, our bodies are tight, =&0=&

If you are feeling at all overwhelmed and stressed and wonder how you will ever get it all done – take a moment today and just breathe. Take a moment and sit with yourself. Remember that you are only given what you can handle. You are only one person and you do everything in the perfect way at the perfect time.
Take a deep breath. And then another one.
And then mindfully go through each task one by one.

Do you ever wake up from a dream that felt so vivid, so real, and so powerful?
Do you ever feel like it was trying to tell you something – a message from your soul?
Have you ever experienced a dream that turned out to be a premonition?
There are all kinds of dreams – some are merely a processing of the previous day’s events – strewn together in a fun way that only our subconscious can do. And some are more meaningful – these are the ones that you can’t seem to shake from your mind when you wake up. They are so vivid and keep coming back to you throughout the day.
These are the dreams that I would suggest you pay close attention to. I believe that these dreams are your soul’s way of communicating More

Take some time today to think about the question above. It’s a great way to get in touch with yourself and find out what’s going on inside.
Sometimes we aren’t exactly sure what makes us happy – that’s where a Happy List comes in handy.

- To start, give yourself 15 minutes to sit down and write a list of =&5=& you can think of that makes you happy.
- Be sure not to censor yourself – this is just for you to see. Only write things

Happy March!
I love the first day of a new month! We get to start over again. If our last month wasn’t the greatest, we can put that behind us and start again. If our last month was great – we can make this one more of the same (and even greater). I love that the possibilities are truly endless. March is an especially great month for new beginnings because Spring is just a few weeks away – new life, new growth, a new freshness starts to fill the air.
It’s completely natural in winter for us to hunker down and take more time than we usually do to go within and really think about where we want our life to go. We tend to spend extra time journaling, pondering, and organizing (both our thoughts and feelings and also our material possessions). We declutter, make warm meals, and cozy up with our loved ones in the comfort of our homes. We build our own cocoons of comfort.
And now that March is here, we can start thinking about taking all that More
