Susan Smay, Journalista

Hello and welcome to the Journal District! I am Susan, the owner, creator, and caretaker here. It is lovely to meet you! So where are you in your journal keeping journey? Just starting? Or maybe you already have a few tear-stained, rumpled paged, filled from cover to cover journals safely tucked away somewhere. My love for journaling started in elementary school when got my very first "dear diary", complete with a soft, silky ribbon page marker and golden lock and key. In those pages, I confided my deepest, darkest secrets (boy crushes!!) to my everyday life (today we had pizza for lunch). I didn't know it back then, but having that little diary to journal in, was giving me a much needed place to vent, to dream, to process the bad, and immortalize the good. 

​

My love for journaling has never waned, but my practice has throughout my life. Not so long ago I was reminded of how much I love spending time journaling and of how incredibly beneficial it is for my mental and emotional health. It was during a journaling session that I came to know that I wanted to help cultivate a love for journaling in others. This is how The Journal District was born! My heart  is to create beautiful journals that enhance your journaling experience and to facilitate sessions and programs to help nurture you where ever you are with your journaling practice. Take a look around the shop at my exclusive Journal District journals or though the Journaling Sessions to see if something there might fit your needs.

If you have any questions, you can contact me through the Chat box or email susan@thejournaldistrict.com

 

With love,

Your guide to your journaling practice,

Susan
