An entry from one of Janice Lowry's journals. The artist has kept journals for her entire adult life. "It's the cheapest therapy a person can do," she says.
 
Mari Le Glatin-Keis loves to sketch in her journals while she travels, even if she's just wandering around her own garden. Marie says, "Sketching while traveling is humbling, and sets you apart from the regular tourist."
 
Sondra Holtzman loves to collect found objects and collage them into her journals. Her journaling philosophy: "Do something that scares you and pushes your limits."
 
"Because of my journals, I'm constantly seeing the beauty in the simplest things," says Mindy Carpenter. She loves to draw in her own lines on the pages of her journals and play with different handwriting styles.
