Customer Joy

by Michael Wilkes May 27, 2017

I feel very lucky to have a customer like Sallie Duncan. She wrote an effusive review of my product and shared her joy at finding it. I go back to read it from time to time just for the sheer energy she gives me as a product creator…

"This. This is the most perfect, most beautiful notebook EVER. I absolutely love this journal! … I use this journal at work, and it brings me so much joy. If you love leather, get this. If you love classy things, get this. If you love a notebook/journal/diary that opens easily and lays flat: BUY THIS!!! You need this journal in your life. Seriously, I could hug this thing. The details on the cover are well done, and the entire journal is a pleasure to have and write in… I love it! I am so glad that I bought this. That’s right. I bought it. I didn’t get it for free, didn’t get it as a gift, I was online shopping and found this beauty on my own somehow and made the decision to buy it. I am so glad that I did!
Go on. You know you want it/need it. You will not regret this purchase!"

Sallie — wherever you are — thank you so much for being a customer and sharing your joy with the world!

Recently, the team at SohoSpark had an impromptu poll that asked: Why do YOU journal? Not ONE person referenced bullet journals or planners. No one said that they journal because it helps them stay organized. Instead, the answers focussed on mental wellbeing, fostering creativity, improving writing skills, achieving goals, and manifesting dreams. And, hey, some of you admitted that you journal solely for the joy of stationery. If you're already journaling, stay the course. You do you, cool cats. If you're looking for a reason to start, dive on in to this blog piece.

How to Use Your Journal to Increase the Benefits of Self-Care

by Jacki Andre July 14, 2019

Self-care has become a buzzword--and a marketing ploy. Scented candles, spa services, paid affirmation apps, wine: if it makes you feel better, it’s touted as self-care. But self-care is really about strengthening your resiliency. And one of the most powerful self-care tools is writing in a personal journal.

by Jacki Andre June 18, 2019

I’m pretty sure we’ve ALL heard of morning pages by this point. Julia Cameron introduced the concept in her book The Artist’s Way, back in 1992.
