Hello Heather. I don't know what happened to you, but I can relate to all the things that you're saying. I went through a really bad time a few years ago when there was no light at the end of the tunnel. With the help of some very beautiful people I have managed to come out the other end. I still have bad days and am reminded by a very special aunt that I'm to look how far I've come and she reminds me how strong I am. You have a really wonderful way to help you along the way. An amazing journal and talent. I just wanted to say that you are strong and a beautiful person. Keep living each day as it comes. Take care 💙

My dear Heather, going through difficult seasons can be so hard for us .. This year has also brought so much hard/ grief ( especially regarding my daughter Lindsey who is only 28 next week & will never be the same person again after being so badly injured ( burned over 62% over her body) Seeing a counselor who suggested this very thing!! Funny creating these beautiful journals and writing/ journaling for 37 years, I’d never really thought about this and tiled mine “Soul full “ starting smiling w/ I saw you tiled yours “Soul Wish “ Creating along with you as I began with your kits a few - Beautiful words - Bitsy Bell , a few of your wallpapers , holy cards ( including some of my own very old fav French ones some from Rome. Primarily places I can write favorite uplifting quotes, song lyrics , poetry ,scripture that has truly inspired me on this journey - ok , I’m so sorry for this lengthy rant but, I’m forever grateful that you have chosen to share this story especially so unexpectedly ( for me) such a beautiful sign !! Oh goodness 🦢 now tears 🥲 I hope to see / hear more of journey with this. How very very special 🎀 Much love to mom by the way C

[@Katejournalsofjunk]

My prayers for you and your daughter 💞💞💞🙏

[@rubyandpearlxo]

Cheryl sending prayers up for you and your daughter. You are so sweet to leave such a beautiful message. I love that you named your journal soul full. Beautiful! I meant to mention in my video that if you go to counseling for any reason at all the first thing they usually do is tell you to start a journal. It can be so healing to give yourself a place to write your thoughts. Sending much love and prayers to you and your family ❤️❤️❤️

[@cheryltallafuss1886]

@@rubyandpearlxo quick note - my counselor asked me to bring in my journal as she has started to journal in January & finding it hard to keep up with it - she has orders one from me - my first sale EVER ! She was so inspired by just the simplistic way of journaling I do - and absolutely adored the pages / secret places to write et. I used primarily all of the many kits by R&P xo - she chose some of her favorites and told me to run w/ it !! Thank you for your sweet message - always so helpful to watch your videos I learn so much more about you, your inspiration is always appreciated and your way of thinking about this community brings me comfort & JOY - 🎀

[@veronicabartolinicodebreak714]

❤ my heart is with you all

[@donihcrafts]

Beautiful! I had just stepped away from my desk working on my own Song Book journal using your kits. Just playing with pretty papers is so healing, and your kits make it easy. I've been praying for you, and have been so inspired by your accomplishments this last year. Your beautiful spirit is easy to see in your videos. God hasn't forgotten you. He is using you, maturing you, and allowing you time to heal. Much joy and happiness is in your future. And though hard, it's worth the effort and pain to step onward. Hugs to you sweetie. And thank you for sharing yourself with us. ❤️

[@Faithful10415]

Thank you for the beautiful and necessary reminder that with God all things are possible. I have had my share of dark days but my hope rests in the light of His love never leaving us or forsaking us. I just love this journal community, and using beautiful papers and embellishments to express in paper what the heart feels most. A profound thank you Heather for this uplifting reminder and expression of your heart.

[@sheliar9541]

Heather, I know this video is from a bit ago, but I hope you see this comment. You are such a beautiful soul. So inspiring to watch, learn, and listen to. I have been binge watching all of your videos. It brings me much joy and comfort to come home from a long day at work, drink my coffee, and sit back and get inspired, I love your journal. Many blessings to you 💕💕💕

[@Sockspaperscissors]

Heather, thank you so much for sharing this piece of your heart and soul. I am brought to tears, knowing it can be so difficult to keep going, keep doing, still rising. I admire you so much, for so many reasons… your talent, your honesty, and your beautiful pieces of yourself that you share with all of us. You are an inspiration, in so very many ways… 💙🤍💙

[@DreamyBohemian]

❤ And still I rise… yes. Here’s to the people who have to keep going even though they are falling apart… here’s to you and your healing journey! You have such a beautiful spirit and I love what you do and your perseverance through it all. ❤

[@sharongruener6078]

Heather, God has used you through your heartache to bless and encourage so many other people. Your journal is lovely and I so enjoy watching your process in creating it. Blessings.

[@jjjoy7887]

Oh Heather, you are so inspiring and it is so good that you are channeling your grief into creativity… We all know it has been hard…. My husband fell and had a stroke a year ago today. It was a long journey and he is doing well now. We all love you and all that you share with us, both of your life and your beautiful spirit. Be well.

[@4everpurplecreationslorell659]

I love watching and hearing peoples thoughts while they create and why and what they choose. Your Journal is coming along beautifully. I think it was a stormy season for many this year, I just make sure I always give thanks for being able to be here and weather those storms, with God by my side i can get through anything. I look forward to see more as you continue on ,thank you for sharing this and yourself with us.

[@flowerlady3150]

God bless you, Heather! You are ‘shining through’ in such a beautiful way. 🌷🌸🌷🌸🌷🌸🌷

[@agirlfromthebayou4915]

It’s just lovely Heather -I am working on a journal for myself now -it’s been awhile since I’ve done one just for me -hang in there-Loss is hard-my husband has Alzheimer’s-hd is still physically here -but I lost “him” years ago -I celebrate the moments I see glimpses of him -crafting & journaling helps me thru the rough days -hugs -you are an incredible person & an inspiration to us all -TFS ❤

[@melodyfisher1512]

Such a beautiful way to celebrate our blessings. This really hit home for me, very uplifting. Thank you! You shine so bright, Heather.💫

[@PatWinterJournals]

You are a strong woman and so inspiring to many. This is exactly what I needed to find. Thank you for the idea. I have your inspiration notes already printed, so I'll go from there. This year has started out at the very bottom for me and I'm going to start gathering for a "Soul Wish" journal and after my health report mid March, I will begin. I wouldn't want my family to find it in case my results weren't favorable. This will keep me focused on the positive. Thank you Heather❤💓💜

[@wildaltarose]

As you share your sadness with us, it is beautiful to see that you are working so hard to start over. I pray for peace for your heart, and wishing you happiness in the future.

[@Jeannes1234]

Heather, I’m happy to hear you are healing from the events of last year. I wish I could tell you it gets better but I know from experience there will always be that void. But surrounding yourself with friends and family truly does ease the pain. This journal sounds like it will be a beautiful way to write about your thoughts, etc. I love all the symbolism with the numbers. The swan hold a special place in my heart too as there is a connection between the swan and my late husband. I think I am going to make a journal like this for myself. Thank you so much for all the inspiration.❤

[@kathylupfernielsen265]

My mother just died and this video spoke to me so going to look through my stash and start my own soul wish while thinking of her. 90 years old and with lots of health issues, but she still had her mind and loved paper all her life...fabric too. Looking forward to gathering up goodies for this idea, thank you.

[@joyjunktique]

Heather, I'm so thankful for your beautiful spirit. God is using you in a mighty way to touch the hearts of so many. You have amazing talent, and everything you do is an expression of the all that's in your heart. Thank you for being so honest and open, and for inspiring us to see the beauty in our pain and heartache. You are such a blessing. Big hugs♥ And my sister's birthday is 7/11 too.🥰

[@deborahpowell5564]

Heather the Lord sent me Psalms 91 years ago as I served as a missionary in Guatemala. A young girl had written it on the sail of the boat she made. She said the Lord told her to tell me the first line of the Psalm. Blown away is an understatement! In hindsight, I believe He was preparing me for what was to come. This was before C19. More recently, I ask Him about the scripture 91:11 when I was having a particularly difficult day. I repeated His promise to me back to Him that day in prayer. He answered on Friday with a pair of boots with that scripture engraved on the soles. My, my He always sees and hears His children!

[@leirobinson3103]

Heather, your journal is beautiful and has really inspired me. I too, have gone through a hard year with my health. Thoughts it was over,but I’ve faced new giants.I love your ideas and want to make an inspirational journal! Be well💞

[@Lindaheal]

The quote you added: "and still I rise" makes me remember a poster I had in college way back in the late '60s, which you might enjoy. I swear to you on my common woman's head the common woman is as common as a common loaf of bread and will rise. Love your style, your work is always beautiful and inspiring.

[@judygundlock4035]

So beautiful, Heather. You are such a gentle soul. Having been where you are, let me say that it will soften with time. Give yourself Grace and time to heal. I think this special journal will help you on your journey. Oh, and we share the same birthday!

[@magnoliabird]

I am still watching the following sunday and wondering why I love this junk journaling so much. It is not really a need to put memories together because the ephemera is not mine but somehow the look and feel and colour of what you do brings up deep emotions in me and I wonder if it is in my ancestral memory chain somewhere. Why do we want to put together scraps of fabric and lace and paper. If you didn't understand it or were looking at it from the outside you would be wondering I think. It haunts me junk journaling. I haven't worked out the reason yet.🥰
