A Personal Journey to Simplify and Do More Living!

A Personal Journey: My Journal to Simplify and Do More Living!

When we simplify life, we have more time for the people, things, and activities that we value most. When we declutter, we begin to recognize what are our needs versus wants, and we begin to let go of things that burden us, steal our time and energy, and cause stress to maintain. When we journal, it helps us identify our patterns, our thinking, our values, and our feelings. Journaling is a form of self-accountability and direction, and when we journal and have accountability, research indicates we will be much more successful in reaching our goals.


As women, we are often taking care of other people and forget we need to care for ourselves. We forget that simplifying our lives allows us to have more time in life and that a simple life means fewer demands on our time and energy or with maintenance needs.

​

Journaling helps us set goals, and reflect on where we’ve been. and recognize our accomplishments!

My Journal: Daily Acts and Thoughts of Gratitude and Thankfulness

My Journal

Our minds are powerful and when we decide to recognize the beauty of the world around us, the people living on this earth, and even the smallest and simplest things in life, we begin to develop a mindset of gratitude and thankfulness.


People often say that change is difficult, but we actually change daily and make hundreds of choices every day. Often we don't realize the magnitude of choices we make every day, or how those tiny choices impact our lives and others' lives. When those choices are repeated, we call them habits. Repeated habits become our character.

​

This journal helps to slow down life to document the choices we make and focus on positivity, gratitude, and thankfulness. By writing our thoughts and goals down, even if only for a few minutes daily, we develop that habit of journaling and of looking on the bright side of life...being thankful for small and great things.

​

Journaling, in turn, allows us to see the directions and choices we are making in life. It allows us to continue on those paths that make us stronger, and also to recognize and stop those habits that harm us or others.

​

Journaling reinforces our thoughts and actions, helping us to change in the direction we want to move forward to.

​

This inspiring book is full of space to journal, while also providing inspiring thoughts from some unexpected sources that will motivate journalers.

​

6" X 9" (X 15/16"). Available on Amazon. 395 numbered pages (due to the number of pages in this book, it is thicker than most journals), includes quotes that inspire, journal lined pages, black & white interior, matte finish cover.

​

A great gift for family or friends for the holidays, or for those who want to inspire each other to journal daily!

This journal helps focus on positivity, gratitude, and thankfulness. By writing our thoughts and goals down, even if only for a few minutes daily, we develop the habit of journaling and seeing the best sides of life...being thankful for small and great things.

My Daily Gratitude Journal by Jeanne Fuller

My Daily Gratitude Journal

Gratitude changes us and helps us look at life with greater hope, positivity, and joy.


Gratitude changes our brain, our thinking, and emotions.

Gratitude simply makes us happier in life.


Journaling reinforces thoughts, validates our feelings, and slows down our thinking (to keep up with our hand as it writes), which allows us to process and problem-solve more effectively. When we journal, we also recall that information more effectively in the future. It's like printing it on our brains.


This journal includes motivational quotes and plenty of space to reflect and write. Focusing on the positives all around you can change your life, help you deal with stress, and see the world differently.


It is designed to be a comprehensive journal for those who desire or already journal daily. It is not a small journal to tuck into your purse but is for those who use a journal by their bedside or in the same place daily.

It can be an heirloom type of book to hand down to children or grandchildren, revealing your positive thoughts and emotional growth, especially treasured as it is written in your own handwriting.


Buy several copies to share with family and friends and let them know how thankful you are for them.


Gratitude is contagious! It's a gift to us, those we love, and the world around us!

Octothorpe 14 Staves

Some people exercise to reduce stress; others organize and declutter. Some people take vacations, some journal, and others compose or play music.


Musicians hear music or songs in their heads, and this 14-stave, A-4 composition notebook is perfect to carry around to quickly down those songs, ideas, and melodies before forgotten.

​

Created for a Texas college music major student, this composition book is great for songwriters, students, or for musicians using any instrument or computer to create music. It can be used by any age: children or students in junior high, high school, college, or professional writers. The notebook includes insightful and entertaining quotes from famous musicians, offers inspiration, and includes a hint of creativity to make composers smile.​ 

​​

Why is it called "Octothorpe"? An Octothorpe is the symbol of a "hashtag" and is comprised of two words, "Octo," meaning eight, and "Thorpe," meaning town or village. The center of the hashtag represents a town/village with eight surrounding areas creating a community. Musicians represent many different communities as they work in bands, and groups, with different instruments, and different musical styles. They collaborate with other musicians, producers, and writers to provide music that appeals to, inspires, educates, and connects people in a worldwide community.

​

This music composition notebook is dedicated to all of those individuals who hear the music in their heads and hearts and put those notes and songs on paper; dedicated to those who take time to create, write, sing, play, and share the music that enriches our lives. Some of us don’t instinctively hear music before they bring it into existence and it is only after they’ve created it that we have the ability, the opportunity, and can be blessed to hear and respond to their melodies and messages.


Ludwig van Beethoven said, “Music can change the world.”


It’s exciting to think that maybe, someday, the scores written in this journal may become another of the world’s collections of music we hear, hum, sing, tap our feet, and dance to. This journal is dedicated to the music and songs musicians hear and create, as we want to hear that music and those songs, too.

​

Order several copies to keep in your backpack, at your desk, in your car, and to always have at your fingertips when that music plays in your mind and heart!

​

Great gift for that young or old musician or songwriter in your life! This large-sized notebook measures 8.5" X 11.4" and contains 150 white, double-sided printed pages. It has 14 stave lines (rather than the usual 10 stave), allowing for four more lines of music per page. Available on Amazon in paperback notebook format.
