A quick look at my July journal set-up. I have my bullet journal in my Traveller’s Notebook and my blog journal in another. In addition, I have my music and art journals. I also have another little journal that I am pondering its use.

Darren and Dianne Discuss: here’s the most recent video when this video was made:

Hope in myself

January 16, 2021 by Darren 2 Comments

This week I have had the word ‘hope’ above my desk. It is my creative prompt for the week. The creativity has been a bit scarce, so I’m not certain if it has helped.

However, I did open the journal and write and doodle and think around ‘hope’. It was, as always, an interesting time, exploring an idea and concept in the journal. The ability to step back and think about things is the reason I journal. And the blank page is the ideal place to just explore and see where an idea or thought will take me.

Today I ended up realising that my biggest hope at the moment should be to believe in myself. I should believe in my abilities and skills and creativity. To believe in myself is to actually be myself, my true self; to believe and be.

Sometimes this feels so close. All I need to do is climb over a little ledge before me. At other times it feels like I need to cross a chasm. And it is a chasm that feels too wide. In fact, so wide I can’t really tell if there is another side, it is obscured in the darkness or by the mist.

But I hope. I hope that I will believe in myself. That I will be. And I hope that you can be the person you need to be. Explore what you hope for in your journal, you never know how close your hopes might be to being realised. Take care my friends x.

My November Journal and Planner set-up. A walk through my planners, journals and other creative bits and pieces. My current set-up this November is a mashup of Bullet Journals, daily journals and junk journals. Oh, and I am also using Things on the computer to keep track of digital projects. It seems my journey to journal simplicity is taking a circuitous route. Please join me on my creative adventure by subscribing to my YouTube channel or blog, and please let me know what you think and how you plan and journal in the comments. Stay safe and well x
