Commonplace Books??!! This is an actual thing?!? I’ve been doing something like this for ages in a very ad-hoc, informal way but now I’m so inspired and intrigued to make this an actual practice. 🙏🏼📖✍️
Yes! It’s been a thing since about the 1500s and I‘m so glad you’re feeling fired up by this. How have you created your similar practice so far? I love hearing everyone‘s methods. ✨
I’m constantly taking screenshots of interesting quotes, ideas, journal prompts etc. with some vague intention of transferring them to one of my many notebooks. I also jot things down constantly in said notebooks, as long as they’re to hand. I hadn’t thought about an index though so that’s really helpful.
The index is so helpful. I’ve done something similar to you, and have found that sifting through this loose collection I’ve made and formally copying the salient bits into a central notebook has been really soothing. Let me know how you get on!
Beautiful ideas. Thanks Caroline. Love the Wednesday waffles. 🧇 😊
It‘s so sweet - I love the idea of this becoming a tradition worldwide. 💗
Love these ideas, Caroline x
Thank you love. Sometimes it's baby steps that make a difference.

I had no idea you'd written a tarot book. How did this escape my notice 😳
Haha - TWO, even! Perhaps I should be tooting that horn a bit louder...
You should! ✨✨

I'll have to put them on my TBR list.
I‘m honored! 😘

My only substack post. I think it will be a long while before I can write another.
Thank goodness for the cats!
They are like little saints with fur, especially during the cold seasons when snuggling is ON. They are comic relief at all times, too.
