Hi there,
I'm so excited to share a special pair of journal pages with you today. They were created in collaboration with Krizi Venter, a writer, reader, journaler, crafter, and pet parent to her pups Charlie and Chico.
These pages started with the spectacular South African sunrises and sunsets that bookend Krizi's days. She wanted to write about the joy of pulling back the curtains every morning to reveal each unique sunrise. She was also keen to explore the parts of her days she hadn't yet found an appreciation for, to see if she could uncover something meaningful there too.
Through a series of email conversations and early drafts, we discovered that creating a page for sorting through the events of her day needed to include capturing what they felt like and what they might mean, now and in the future.

Sorting Through Your Day

The end result is a pair of pages for writing about experiences of joy, thinking through the bumps in the road, and appreciating the people you meet along the way. We hope you'll love using them to sort through your day.
If you'd like to give them a try, you'll find them right here!

Sidewalk Chalk Talks
Before signing off, there's one more delightful person I'd like to introduce you to. Her name is Heidi Fiedler. Heidi is a writer, editor, and creative coach. In addition to writing her own picture books and chapter books, she helps other writers and other creative folks take their ideas from a twinkle in their eye to books and stories to be read and shared.
As I recall, the first time we ever exchanged comments online many years ago, Heidi had initiated a discussion about the intersection of motherhood and creative work. Now she's exploring those very topics in an interview series titled Sidewalk Chalk Talks. For Heidi, these chats are "inspiring interviews with mothers who are making space for creativity and finding ease and joy in the process."
I feel so honoured to have participated! You can find my answers and photos of life in Guelph right here.
xoxo,
Christie
