Inspiring and Intriguing Reads for 2017: A Challenge to Myself

Dreamer
You probably don't know, but I'm a self-proclaimed book nerd.  I devour stories as fast as I can read them unless life or some other pursuit of mine pulls me away.  I recently posted a list of the books I hope to read in 2017 on my other blog, sirensongofthenight.blogspot.com.  The books were chosen randomly from a list of approximately 300 books that I want to read.  The list I'm going to share on this blog also came from that list.

 1. The Ultimate Guide to Journaling by Hannah Braime.

 2. Yokai Attack! by Hiroku Yoda and Matt Alt.

 3. Anam Cara by John O'Donohue.

 4. Encyclopedia of Spirits by Judika Illes.

 5. If Your Dream Doesn't Scare You, It Isn't Big Enough by Kristine K. Stevens.

 What lists are you tackling this year?  Please leave any questions, comments, or topic requests in the comments below.

 Blessings!

It's been awhile, hasn't it?

Sorry I've been away so long.  Life got in the way like it always does, but this blog hasn't been far from my mind.  I've been pondering, sometimes for hours on end, what I could do to make this blog become what I dream for it.  When I started this blog, I meant for it to be about creativity as spirituality, and also about journaling as a creative practice.  Now, though, I really need it to be more freeform.  I need it to be a space where I can discuss my experiences, share my deep thoughts with you, and really build a community here. So, of you, my loyal readers, I have something to ask.  Please leave a comment about what types of content you'd like to see on this blog.  What would you like me to share?  What are you curious about? As for me lately, I'm wandering the pathways of my inner world and exploring bullet journaling in my outer world.  I'm still fighting to stay healthy, and using the times I'm not to meditate and think those deep thoughts that
