THE LIGHT LETTER
Last week we wrote a lovely letter but technology backfired and we sent you an old letter instead. We’re ashamed, returning to you with our tail between our legs, and begging your forgiveness.
Our take: Journaling
There are a lot of instructions on how to journal. Many of you have tried, at some point in your life, to be a morning pages person.
Many of you have likely released that conviction as quickly as you gained it.
That’s okay, no judgment here.
As lifelong journalers, the Light Letter Factory has only four writing rules. We write them on the inside cover of every journal we start.
1. Journal for a little longer than you think you want to.
We can’t explain why, but that’s usually when the good stuff spills out.
2. Finish me.
Let every page of a journal be filled. No matter the time it takes to fill them.
3. There is no mistake in this journal.
It would be impossible to fail here.
These pages are meant to live, for a moment, with the safety of
No Limits.
No Guardrails.
Just Everything.
This, we write in big bold messy letters.
4. Promise me you’ll read me again.
Maybe not for a year, or two, or three, but re-read the old journal. There is no better way to remember who you were then and there.
This Week’s Inspiration
If someone can make leaf art this cool, you can do your thing today. You got this.
A joke for the book lovers.
This woman lived without an iPhone for a year. I recommend skipping to the section titled your first year with a flip phone. I liked the read because it had some real moments. It talked about the beauty but also the depression and the craving that came with it too.
Until next time,
Live your light.
