More of the pen community has taken on the “Only Ten Pens” Challenge. I love these community challenges and the chance to see what other people love. Sometimes its $10 pens and sometimes its $1000+ pens… and sometimes both. I’ve continued to think on this project and if it would inspire me to remove some…
Laura and I were really excited to see the MDK post about celebrating the wins. I have seen this concept on YouTube as well recently. The idea is to reserve a page in your planner or journal to create a “wins list”. And it doesn’t have to be a list, it could be a garden…
