2019 was a year full of surprises. A lot changed mainly after me returning to a full-time job. 👩🏻‍💻 For most of the year, I didn’t have any time to journal or to post here. I had to make choices and social wasn’t a priority. 📓 I’m glad to be back, though. Reading and being by so many people here is fantastic. I tend to be too rational. Exercising my creativity isn’t something I take for granted. ✍🏼 Here’s my humble top 9 starting with my yearly reminder of my brain tumor surgery almost 5 years ago. 🧠 2020 is going to be awesome and I can’t wait to keep on sharing my path with you and joining yours. Wishing you all the best in this holiday season. Much ❤️. • • • #2019 #memories #topnine #lookback #journaling #jibuntecho #hobonichi #travelersnotebook #reflection #commitment #2020 http://bit.ly/2Zl9r17

“Gratitude helps you fall in love with the life you already have.” 🙏🏼 Writing 3 things I’m grateful for helps me get my perfectionism in check. ✍🏼 It’s an important part of my Personal Improvement efforts. Remembering my blessings helps me bring peace to my heart. ✌🏼 Nobody is perfect, including myself and that’s fine. Life isn’t less beautiful because of it. 👌🏼 Before-pen spread of my Gratitude Journal for this week. • • • #travelersnotebook #トラベラーズノート #gratitude #gratitudejournal #peaceofmind #cafeanalog17 #nomadostore #behumble #spreadlove #bekind http://bit.ly/2oxUmeA

Today’s Happy Mail haul comes from my favorite turtle: @nomadostore. 🐢 TNs weren’t originally on my plans for 2020 but I couldn’t resist them. 🙈 And why buying one set of stickers when you can have two. 🤓 The Monthly Passport Size will be joining the family soon. 🤤 #happymail #travelersnotebook #stationeryhaul #tn #tninserts #2020 #stickers #vintage #paperlover #nomadostore #wordoftheday #gratitudejournal #commonplacebook #edc http://bit.ly/2lqnEur

My @stickiibao has arrived! I’m so excited. I can’t wait to start playing with it. 🔖 Thank you for the awesome vids, @skybambi . You gave me tons of ideas on how to use it. • • • #stationery #stickiibao #stickiiclub #newtoy #stickers #planning #journaling #reflections #selfknowledge #mindfulness #travelersnotebook #hobonichi http://bit.ly/30iEzgG

I’m alive. 🙋🏻‍♀️ It wasn’t an intentional or planned hiatus. It just happened. 🙎🏻‍♀️ After missing meeting @skybambi in London, I was so heartbroken I didn’t feel like journaling (the cute way) anymore. 👩🏻‍💻 Work and life required all my time and attention and I had to make choices. 🙍🏻‍♀️ I even missed @plannerconeurope . 🤷🏻‍♀️ Today is another day and I’m celebrating it by catching up with empty pages from my @hobonichi1101 . 📖 I’m stopping by to wish you all a lovely week, full of blessings and beautiful moments. 💕 #livelife #acceptance #movingforward #dontgiveup #appreciatelife #onedayatatime #plannercommunity #hobonichi #ほぼ日手帳 #watercolor #doodles http://bit.ly/2XRCrvV

I have a lot of catch to do for the month of February. 🤦🏻‍♀️ My life changed so much and so fast that I still can’t believe it myself. 😲 All great changes and I’m thankful for every single moment, lesson, challenge and opportunity I’ve been coming across. 🙏🏼 I wish I were here more: reading your posts, learning from you, enjoying your companion, though. 💕 Thank you all for the inspiration, love and kindness. 📖 Have a beautiful day! • • #inspiration #nature #peaceful #thankful #blessed #inspired #watercolor #art #creativity #creation #journaling #hobonichi #ほぼ日手帳 #artjournal #experiment http://bit.ly/2UnfAa6

Its not because I haven’t been posting that I stopped journaling. 📖 Time has been tight and I have to make choices. 🤷🏻‍♀️ My health is a priority so spending time taking pictures and editing them comes after working out regularly, eating well and sleeping enough. 😴 There’s no right or wrong. That’s just my way. 💪🏼 Know yourself, know what you want and work for it. ♥️ Much love and a beautiful week to you! . . . #travelersnotebook #トラベラーズノート #spread #weeklyspread #planner #priorities #mindful #knowyourself #knowwhatyouwant #workhard #livebalanced #enjoylife #behappy #bethankful http://bit.ly/2BzQ1v1

I simply couldn’t wait until the weekend to take a picture of it. Recently, I won @jane.journals wax seal stamp giveaway and I got my prize today. Isn’t the package beautiful? I cannot wait to start playing with it. Thank you very much, Jane! . . #craft #papercraft #waxsealstamp #waxseal #paperlover #giveaway #prize #inlove #plannercommunity #feelthelove #creations http://bit.ly/2UXplLR

Sometimes, life gets in the way of your journaling routine. Other times, it’s just your cat. 🐈 After a busy weekend, I haven’t had the chance to decorate all my spreads for the week. 😔 As I got home earlier than normal because of a cold/allergy, I’m trying to catch up. 😷 Loulou has other plans for me, though. I almost spit my soup because of him. 🥣 Wish me luck! 🍀 On Patreon, I already posted some of the elements I’ll be using on this spread. • • #cat #blackandwhitecat #picture #clumsy #sick😷 #soup #stationerylover #paperaddict #plannercommunity #stamp #cafeanalog17 #travelersnotebook #トラベラーズノート #create #havefun #enjoy http://bit.ly/2RP16BE

This week on my hourly Traveler’s Notebook before the pen. 📓 I felt like adding some pink to it and I found these beautiful stickers I had for some time. 💖 It was a “thoughtful” weekend and I used my journals to relax. 🥰 I’m glad I found such a lovely hobby that helps me refocus and reconnect. 🙏🏼 At the end of the day, if we make time to count our blesses, we’re able to realize how blessed we are. • • #foodforthought #thoughtful #thankful #thankfulthursday #stationeryaddict #stationery #travelersnotebook #トラベラーズノート #pink #rose #roses #black #paperlover #stickers #washitape #scrapbooking #createeveryday http://bit.ly/2QAX8bi

It’s not an easy task to pick one favorite picture from @skybambi . 📸 I still scroll her feed up and down for inspiration and motivation. In fact, it was during one of those scroll sessions that I found @galen_leather The Writing Box. 📦 I’ve been specially thank you for the people who recently joined my Journey. I don’t think I’ve ever had someone having my back before. I can’t even start to explain how grateful I am. 🙏🏼 #SBGLGiveaway #thewritingbox #giveaway #stationery #stationeryaddict #woodwork #woodworking #journaling #planneraddict #stationerylover #stationerylove #calligraphy #journal #galenleather http://bit.ly/2TCQ5R1

“My soul is in the sky.” - William Shakespeare 🌌 I had again an inspiring day and my @travelers_company Traveler’s Notebook was my “victim”. 📓 I kept it simple and, as usual, I left time to write down my thoughts of the day. 🌑 Allow yourself to be free and create something new every single day.
