Welcome back! Good to see you finally get back to the youtubes 😂

Hi Helen! It’s awesome to hear you and see your visual diary flip through! Thanks for sharing 🥰🌸

[@journalingplanet]

Ah thank you so much Caroline. I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

Hi Helen: Glad to see you back! I love when you show us your visual diaries. Every page tells a story. Your art work is fabulous. MoMA is my favorite museum. I was born in NY and have visited it about thirty times! The wallpaper on my iPad is Joan of Arc, painted by Jules Bastien-Lepage. Hope you got to see it. BTW, we all slow down eventually, which is a good thing. It’s exhausting being run ragged for so many years. Enjoy what makes you happy. 💜😎🇺🇸

Ah such a fabulous painting Joan of Arc! Yes I love moma and have always loved NYC. Thank you so much for checking into the channel after mu hiatus. I appreciate your kind words.

Lovely to see you back and to see what you’ve been up to ☺️

So glad to see you back & that you have taken time to rediscover yourself. I've thought of you often & said little prayers for you 🙏 You sound happy & rested. 😁 Your journal is beautiful & so meaningful 💖 Looking forward to your videos. Also, can't wait to hear about your experience in New York. 😊

[@journalingplanet]

Ah, thank you so much for all those positive thoughts, Dawn. I did have just a little bit too much going on over the summer to keep up with the channel but I couldn't be happier to be back now! I will definitely say more about my new york trip at some point. It was a very significant trip for me! Thank you so much for checking in.

So wonderful to see you back! You have been sorely missed ❤

[@journalingplanet]

Thank you so much! I have missed being here also.

[@CPcomments]

Yay, you're back!! You've been missed. I think your journal is wonderful. I'm more of a journal writer where the journal is the piece of art i create and then I write in it, but I really like the way you record things. I might give that a try, too.

[@journalingplanet]

Thank you for the warm welcome back! I have a weird thing where I keep my longhand journal entries in a different notebook. And then have a visual diary with minimal writing. Not sure why I do that haha. It just sort of works. I'm sure your journals are beautiful.

Hi, good to see you back. Thanks for showing us and talking to us about your journal. It's very interesting. I'll check out the two youtubers you listed. Cheers.

[@journalingplanet]

Excellent! I hope you enjoy the other youtubers, I think they are great! I'm so glad you enjoyed the flip through.

[@lemotsilence]

Love your journal. I’ve been following you from the start of your art channel & it is a joy to see how you have developed. 😊

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and the book recommendation. “The journey IS the destination”. Leisure (1911) What is this life if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare?- No time to stand beneath the boughs And stare as long as sheep or cows: No time to see, when woods we pass, Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass: No time to see, in broad daylight, Streams full of stars, like skies at night: No time to turn at Beauty's glance, And watch her feet, how they can dance: No time to wait till her mouth can Enrich that smile her eyes began? A poor life this if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare.

[@journalingplanet]

Ahhh, that is so lovely. I appreciate the compliment and your continued support so much!

[@jillclaydon]

I agree that analogue time is really important.

[@journalingplanet]

Ah, thank you. Yes! So difficult when there is so much crafting on KZbin to watch hehe. But as you say, it is important!

[@lifeisagame2023]

York trip might as well of been 100 years ago, but at the same time 5 mins ago 😂

[@journalingplanet]

Yep, life's sorta like that!
