The Benefits of Keeping a Visual Journal
26 Oct2009
Lisa Sonora Beam shares both a peep into one of her own gorgeous visual journal pages, and an insight into why you might want to. Maybe… why you might need to.
It’s a beautiful simple piece of writing that gets to the heart of how journaling changes things:
By paying attention to the minutiae (which sounds a lot like the word minute) we hone in closely to our own true selves. The person-soul beneath all the business (busyness) and chaos and errands and to-do lists that never end.
The creative source begins to spring forth when we water it this way. What we fear, what we love, what we wonder about and what we despise, all finds it’s way into our pages to inform and enlighten us. The visual journal is a kind of revealed wisdom. It’s your wisdom.
