Nothing to say here...

How many of us go through our days parched and empty thirsting after happiness, when we’re really standing knee-deep in the river of abundance? – Sarah Ban Breathnach

In modern everyday life, it can be challenging to feel grateful or even recognize it. So often we are sleep walking and on autopilot, too busy to be mindful. Become awake, be alive to joy. Decide to live courageously and with gratitude. Surrender to play and wonder.

Discover Gratitude Journaling: Finding Joy in the Every Day.

Vintage postal mail: postcards and self mailers. Why are old things so cool? The engraving, the embossing? The artwork of the stamp? The illustrations. None of this is ai generated, it is all real paper and designed by a human being. The nuances and the imperfections are what we love.

How about you? Comment below on why you like vintage postal goods...

Look what is coming July 1st! This summer is extra special as there are two special releases to commemorate the 20 year history of TRAVELER'S Notebook. First there was the card sized notebook in two colors and now a Customization Set.

This adorable suitcase features a treasure trove of things to help you customize your notebook:
* stickers
* brass charm
* rubberstamps
* brass clip

Mark you calendars, you won't want to miss this special release.

When you realize how perfect everything is, you will tilt your head back and laugh at the sky. - Buddha

Introducing Tona K. Bell

Tona is a teacher, aspiring author, and creative soul who encourages everyone to step away from the screens and keep in touch with themselves and others. She is the co-founder of The Tampa Bay Letter Writers, a group of rogue writers who are not afraid to put down their phones and use snail mail to communicate.

She has taught creative experiences at The International Festival of the Arts at Disney World, Squam Art Workshops and New York Stationery Fest.
She is also the creative director and founder of The Paper Seahorse, a studio based in Tampa, Florida, that is dedicated to creative and mindful pursuits. Through online and in person workshops and retreats, the studio is a haven for community and resource for connections.

Tona believes that we all need to put pen to paper and use our hands to express what is in our heads and hearts. She is surrounded by a team of dynamic cats and birds that help her connect to the magic of everyday.

When you are grateful fear disappears and abundance appears.

Do you go through life sometimes feeling helpless or afraid? What is your mindset? Are you living life as a victim of a robbery or are you on a grand adventure? Shifting your mindset and reframing your thinking is the most empowering approach to life. Grateful living helps you get more out of life and realize what is really important. Starting a regular journaling practice is one of the most impactful ways to increase satisfaction in life.

Join us for Gratitude Journaling: Finding Joy in Every Day at Florida Stationery Festival May 30th 3 – 5p in Orlando, Florida.

This class is one part journaling, one part creative and a whole lot of best practices to incorporate gratitude into your daily life.
