The first two in the series which have already come out are The Thoughtful Travel Journal and The Thoughtful Tasting Journal: Chocolate. We started these because we've started traveling more again and realized that pictures, although good to take, are only a part of the experience we had.
The Thoughtful Travel Journal will help us and you to better record and be able to reflect on the the journeys we make. The beginning of the book has tips on how to journal, be mindful of your experience, and tips on things you might not otherwise have though to write down. Many of the journals that have been published for others to read started out as private journals of people who merely got to do interesting things that we today now want to read about. This could be true of anyone's journal. What you think is ordinary, to your children or grand children might be a glimpse into the life of a beloved family member.
Our families still tell new stories that they had forgotten about or that they didn't think were that interesting at the time until something brings it up. Just think how many stories never got told just because it was never jotted down.
The other book that we put out recently is a Stamp Book for collecting rubber stamps from various locations. There are a few places in the states where you can get such a book stamped but we traveled to Japan where it's a huge past time. Every city we went to had multiple stamps including most train stations and public buildings. Other places to check for stamps are museums, corporate buildings, and shopping areas. All you usually have to do is ask and even if they don't have a stamp they will most likely know where the closest one is.
I can't wait for the launch. It's going to be a fun party. Thanks for signal boosting.
