Enthusiastically, Dawn

I wanted to let you know of the latest article published over at Carie Harling’s Paper Planning Magazine. When I wrote this article last year, it was a semi-tribute to the many contributors who have impacted my plannerly lifestyle. The list isn’t exclusive, I could have added a number of other names, and stories but for the sake of simplicity, I went with the milestones moments in my planner saturated journey.

It’s a funny thing about stories. Generally, we, as human beings tend to like stories. Stories are the basis for the foundations of the world and are in many ways foundational to who we are as people. Our stories define us, connect us and inspire us. It has been said that love makes the world go ‘round, but I’d dare argue, it’s actually the stories about love that make the world go ‘round. That being said, and this article being shared with a certain group of people, who have a kinship surrounding their own love stories about planners, journals, and notebooks will afford me the opportunity to share my story. Which probably, in one way or another, will remind you, of your own story. At least in the world of planners and such.

So, we begin. Once upon a time…OK, no. But, don’t all stories start out this way? Too cliché? Fine. Let’s try this: In the beginning… wait, what? Too epic? Ugh. Let’s just start AT the beginning of my planner journey. As in before, what many of us acknowledge as “falling down the rabbit hole” or the place many of us now dwell, with Alice.
