This post is from an email I sent out to my subscriber list earlier this week. I wanted to share it with you because I think it’s true: anyone can start a happy journal.

What a delicious week of happiness!

Thank you for all of your support of my new book, Happy Journal, Happy Life. I have BIG dreams for this little book because I think it is a method of gratitude that is accessible to so many.

You don’t have to be an ARTIST.

You don’t have to have a lot of supplies.

It makes me so happy to look back on old happy journals. They have been a light throughout my life. I love journaling but these journals are the BEST!

The sun shining.

P.S. I highly recommend creating a happy journal page or two with a child. Their insight is invaluable.
