10:25 journal with me:
prompt: journal about a book that you like it, for me is this one “Words Are Windows (or They’re Walls) by Marshall B. Rosenberg

“Words Are Windows (or They’re Walls)
I feel so sentenced by your words,
I feel so judged and sent away,
Before I go I’ve got to know,
Is that what you mean to say?
Before I rise to my defense,
Before I speak in hurt or fear,
Before I build that wall of words,
Tell me, did I really hear?
Words are windows, or they’re walls,
They sentence us, or set us free.
When I speak and when I hear,
Let the love light shine through me.

There are things I need to say,
Things that mean so much to me,
If my words don’t make me clear,
Will you help me to be free?
If I seemed to put you down,
If you felt I didn’t care,
Try to listen through my words,
To the feelings that we share.
-–Ruth Bebermeyer
Marshall B. Rosenberg”

About me:
Hello, I’m Francesca from Junk Journal Joy,
a junk journal enthusiast, and a creator.
I’m Italian and I love creating handmade journals with vintage things
mixed with recycled or new modern objects.
My background is in Psychology, so I like practicing creativity as a mindful activity.
For me, the creative process doesn’t always have to be meaningful.
When you create just to create,
and you go with the flow,
it becomes a way to meditate
and to find your inner peace.
Sometimes the meaning of it
will emerge only with time.
Making journals and journaling
is a powerful tool to reveal our stories in my experience
and I’m glad to be able to give a contribution to spreading the voice.
I love to share junk journal tutorials from start to finish,
quick craft projects on a budget, how to turn junk into something elegant and beautiful,
precious and timeless handmade books flip through,
tips and tricks to help you express your voice through creativity, and have fun!
