Today I am excited to share with you the journal story of Kim Sedgwick, co-founder of Red Tent Sisters. Kim is one of the most kindhearted people I know and she has been a big supporter of this initiative since it was just a wee thought. And no wonder! Kim knows what a gift having a journal can be. I know you’ll enjoy hearing about how journaling has been a part of Kim’s life since she was 6 years old.
Thank you to Kim for sharing her story. You can find her at Red Tent Sisters.
Today I am excited to share with you the journal story of artist and author Dawn DeVries Sokol. Her course in art journaling at Creativebug opened up a world of possibility for me. With her support for this project, she shows us all that a journal can bring out the artist in a girl.
Thank you to Dawn for sharing her story. You can find her at DawndSokol.com.
Give a Girl a Journal and you give her her creative voice.

Today: Part of the fun of Give a Girl a Journal is sending treasures in the mail! I recently also received some treasures and that has me thinking about beauty.
Mentioned on Today’s Show:
We don’t look
at a rosebud
and say,
“What the hell?!
Why aren’t you a rose?”
Be gentle with yourself as you grow.
Buds are beautiful too.
Today let me share with you the journal story of Christine Pensa, artist & founder of Art That Moves. Christine shows us that writing isn’t the only thing that we can do in our journals!
