Journaling
How to keep a secret. In a easily accessed book.
I wrote something I'm ashamed of but something that is vitally important to my personal growth. Something that one day I will seek to remind myself of but for now shall stay hidden.
I put this in an envelope. And using bakers twine tied it like a present to prevent its early opening.
I think it's pretty nifty.
So... Simply enough this blog is about me. Shocking I know. I have been inspired to start this blog by the movie "Julie and Julia". No, I will not be cooking... I will most likely be writing a lot about my love of mail and all of my postal endeavors. I will also undoubtedly be writing about my husband, darling little girl and dog. Not to mention any other meanderings that may cross my mind. So, here we go.

Ive Been A Good Girl
I have been working in my hand bound crazy mish mosh of a journal for a month and a half now. I have over twenty entries!!! I've allowed myself to doodle! I haven't re-read any entries or removed any. This is unheard of in the land of Sara. I've never kept a journal this long. This well. That's felt this liberating!
Before when trying to journal I would find the "perfect" journal. Usually leather and expensive so I could convince myself I had to write in it because I'd spent all that lovely money on it. Three or so entries in and I would hate what I had written or how my penmanship looked. And the journal would be abandoned. I repeated this cycle so many times I should buy Barnes and Noble stock!
I think the general madness and randomness of this journals construction has finally freed me! Silly I know. But it's true I tell you.
Some of the paper that's in this thing I really don't like. So I just cover it up! And I really love the occasional ledger paper I find in it. It's great for wackado entries that go in all different directions. Anywho. I suppose this post is long enough.
Here are my most recent pages!
