Hello world!

February 25, 2024

Welcome to my blog.  What is it about, frankly I don’t exactly know yet, but I do know I will be posting about things that interest me and I’m hoping that they might interest you as well.  I have just published my first post about creating a brag file, check it out and let me know what you think.

One of my interests apart from reading, puzzles, watching videos, and journaling, I like scrapbooking, making cards and taking part in card swaps.  Here is one of my Project Life scrapbooking pages, this showcases cards of my own designs.

And l thought l’d also share more of my own design cards.

Thank you for visiting, I hope you like at least some of what I have shared and I hope you continue to visit from time to time. LJR

Brag Journal

February 25, 2024

In May 2021 I found some notes, not sure of the dates, unfortunately when I made those notes I wasn’t as conscious of putting dates on things then as I am now. One of the notes refers to “ho’oponopono” so I went back to check where I might have found it and found https://hooponoponomiracle.com/ho-oponopono-hawaiian-forgiveness-prayer/. It must have caught my attention enough to make a note of it, for a time I do remember saying the prayer, which seemed to calm me.

I suppose life happened and even a simple four phrase prayer got lost no matter how beautiful or effective it is but forgotten it was and for that I AM sorry. But the fact that I found my notes when (2021) I did, should have alerted me that it was for a reason and should have been enough to tell me to return to saying the prayer, because we were, after all, in the middle of a pandemic!

With the note about ho’oponopono I also found information and link to an article about “Boost your mood by creating a ‘Brag File’ written by Molly Beauchemin in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic in August 2020.

In that article is:

To find your own copy of Molly’s article go to: Brag File. So, have a read and start your own Brag Journal. I must admit I did start my brag journal which very quickly turned into a Bullet Journal which mostly contains my notes about setting up my Bullet Journal properly, but that’s a topic for another post.

I did end up compiling a brag journal in a display folder because of all the artwork and Certificates and Degrees which could not be attached to a normal notebook. However, it does not include all my scrapbooks/albums of varying sizes I have made and filled, again I might make that as part of another post at some stage.

Thanks for visiting and reading. I have no affiliation with either website, I only enjoyed visiting and learning from them. Please leave your comments about this post, so I can better provide posts of interest to you.📚JLR
