Review

 

Who doesn’t love a journal, especially when it has unicorns throughout?

This journal is perfect for anyone at nearly any age. This would be a great way to start a child off at a young being thankful for what occurred during the day, sharing their dreams and goals, what they love about themselves, and an affirmation for the day. I think for the younger children (say under 7) this would be good to do once a week with them, and for children 8 and older, they could do this a few times a week or daily. Teens and adults could do this daily or as often as they feel they should express their gratitude.

This is also an excellent way to decompress after a long day. The pages are begging to be colored and given life.

So pick up this journal, some coloring pencils or crayons, and remember what to be thankful for in these crazy times.

Review

This gratitude/thankful journal is perfect for young people starting out and getting into the habit of recognizing what they are thankful for each day.  The unicorns are fun to color and each page has the same questions to fill out so the routine becomes a habit and you are not surprised by a new question.

This is a photo I took of one of the pages.  Each page is different and the boxes around the questions vary to spice it up each day.

 

I like that it asks more than just what we are thankful for each day, but also what dreams and goals we have each day, what we love about ourselves, and an affirmation to boost our self confidence and self worth.

This is a fun beginning journal for anyone.  While aimed at teens there is no reason an adult couldn’t use this each day especially if you enjoy coloring.

We give this 5 paws up.

*Spiral bound coloring book only available through website

Coming soon to the Ranch House Press Etsy Store!  

This is a companion book to the coloring book by the same author. And while I didn’t know this until I read a review by a fellow blogger, this illustrated book is the same as the coloring book, consider it a guide to using the coloring book if needed.

This book is filled with inspirational quotes that will lift up anyone’s day and will make a great gift for a graduate or a friend or anyone needing a little pick me up.  I have a few favorite quotes from the book – “Be the reason someone smiles” – it is a great reminder that there is so much negativity in this world that a friendly smile or gesture can make the difference in someone’s day.  I also like “Stay True to You” – this reminds me to not be someone I am not because it does no one any good especially myself!

And if you need help with the coloring book, you can draw upon the pages here to spark your imagination (or if you are like me and do not have a creative bone in your body!)

We give this 5 paws up and I can’t wait to share it with friends and family so they can be inspired as well.

**I was given a copy of the book and coloring book for an honest review**

About the Author

After spending over 33 years in the computer and information technology industry, Richard G. Lowe Jr. decided to take an early retirement to pursue his dreams of becoming a professional writer and published author. Richard is a leader in the computer industry, serving as Vice President of Consulting at Software Techniques and Beck Computer Systems before settling down as Director of Computer Operations at Trader Joe’s. During his twenty-year tenure at that esteemed company, he focused on computer security and preparing for the possibility of disaster.

In addition to creating hundreds of articles for the web and blogs, Richard actively works as a professional ghostwriter. In that role, he has completed books on a wide variety of subjects including memoirs, business volumes, and novels. Because of his in-depth background in software management and computer security, Richard has ghostwritten a number of major books in those areas.

Additionally, Richard has published books of his own. His first two volumes, Safe Computing is Like Safe Sex and Real World Survival Tips and Survival Guide, respectively touch on the subjects of computer security and how to survive emergencies and disasters. Richard has also written and published a series of short eBooks on the aspects of freelance writing, including blogging and ghostwriting. Other published books include How to Plan a Party and How to Surround Yourself with Beautiful Women without Being a Sleazeball.

An avid adventurer, Richard has been a photographer for much of his life, with a focus on nature, scenic, performance and event photography. He has done everything from hiking in dozens of national parks throughout the country, to photographing various unique festivals and events, such as the Labyrinth of Jareth Masquerade Ball and the World Mermaid Awards Convention. He is well known in the Renaissance Festival and Belly Dance communities, having photographed over 1,200 dance events and 400 festivals. For several years, he photographed the Tournament of Roses parade in Pasadena, California.

Richard is currently working on a large number of short Kindle eBooks on a wide variety of subjects. Beginning in 2016, the first of a ten volume series of Science Fiction novels will be published.

One of Richard’s passions is to use the power of words to educate people on human rights. He believes the world will be a better place when human beings are treated with the full respect and dignity they are due.
