I designed this journal for my cousin—one of her favorite movies is The Wizard of Oz. And okay, the book is better, so I themed this journal around the wise words and whimsical illustrations of the original work, which was published in 1900. The advice and insights are still relevant over a hundred years later. If you haven't read the original books, I highly recommend it. In the meantime, I offer this journal. Writing in a journal or diary has a multitude of benefits. Jotting down your thoughts and experiences, observations, things you've learned, and questions will help you: 🌞 create memories you can look back on 🌞 clear your mind 🌞 get organized 🌞 destress 🌞 find clarity 🌞 discover solutions to problems 🌞 find direction in life as you work through things 🌞 foster new ideas 🌞 practice your writing 🌞 relieve stress, anxiety, fear, and depression 🌞 find encouragement with affirmations 🌞 discover gratitude and focus on the positive When you do your writing in a beautiful themed journal with full-color illustrations throughout, the rewards are even greater. Because of that, Joy-Filled Journals are a perfect gift, even if it’s a gift for you. 🙂 Each Joy-Filled Journal features: • A matte finish to the cover that prevents fingerprints and smudges • A spacious interior with room for writing notes, stories, and ideas or jotting down things you need to remember and doing brain dumps.
