Here's a note from Tracy White on how to use this book:
I wrote this book as both a handy reference guide and as a learning
tool. Here's what you'll find:Journaling prompts
You'll find lists and lists of ideas that will help spark your
memories. For example, if you're working on a page about your
teenager, just flip to the teen section and find 100 different
prompts you can use to add journaling to your pages.
Complete that page!
I believe there are many different ways to add journaling to your
pages, whether with your own words or the words of others. In this
section, I share ideas for creative ways to tell the story on your
pages.
"Real Life" journaling ideas
There's no right or wrong way to journal. In this section, I share
actual pages from CK contributors and give you more ideas you can
use in your own journaling.
Journaling is easy
In this section, you'll learn that journaling is something everyone
can do. I'll provide you with new perspectives on what journaling is
and with different ways you can generate the stories behind your
pictures.
Memory triggers
I don't know about you, but I have to admit—some of my most
cherished memories have already started to fade. However, I've
learned that with a little bit of time and creativity, I can often
recall memories that were "lost." As a solution, I provide memory
triggers that will help you dig down a bit deeper, go beyond the
surface and uncover layers of hidden within your memory bank—and in
your heart.
You can complete some memory triggers in minutes; others will be
more beneficial if you have an hour or so to spare. I've designed
them so you can use them over an dover again—and you may just be
surprised at the wonderful journaling you discover as you complete
these exercises |
