-In my mind, I was going to sit down for less than 2 hours and finish the book. In reality, I read some parts, then kept going over my journaling done in either my BuJo, my albums, or in my head about what I intended to write about certain pictures. The journaling companion would also apply to a letter if you wanted it to. Sometimes we need to say things and we can't do it in person.
-I thought Mrs Slan was a real diplomat when came the time to help those with personal problems - not the problem itself but the pictures they still held on to. When you have a bad ex (boss or colleague) but you still want those pictures from a party at work.
-She's also realistic (stay a victim or move on).
-At one point she talks about journaling losses: our parents, grandparents, friends, etc. I have a Memorial Album. I designed special pockets on the front/back of each page for bulletins, newspaper clippings, pictures, etc. I created the album because I want to remember those I knew and cherished; I want to be able to look through my album and see them again. Most people would recycle the bulletins and throw them in a drawer and forget about them.
-The author has lists upon lists for any subject you can think about, even writer's block, and the fun is that you can mix and match all those lists. I love making lists!
-Another idea is to grade your vacation or places you go. One place we went every year was Carabram. About 40 places across town featured different countries, all done during a weekend. You had food and clothing to buy, some art, some sort of dancing going on; that was really fun. We used a point system for each place we visited (about a dozen), and I would send the results to the organizers.
-I really liked the idea of looking at the pictures via a magnifying glass. I inherited one from my dad, so I will try this.
-If you don't know what to say about your pictures, or journaling your day, or even preparing a pep talk of some sort, use her book as I'm sure you will find inspiration.
-My star off is only because the book would be better off in print, especially for the examples, which I couldn't see, but also because it's easier to write down notes in a notebook than on a Kindle and refer to them afterwards.
