Journaling is a popular self-care and self-development tool. It's a great way to reflect, set goals and make action plans. Not everyone started the New Year with a plan.

  • What methods do you use for making a plan?
  • Do you prefer paper or digital planning?

    Hello there! I'm Angel, an entrepreneur and writer who grew up in rural North Carolina and now resides in Virginia. My love for writing began during my time at Guilford College in Greensboro, NC. Over the past couple of years, I've authored two nonfiction books in the personal development genre. Along with writing for adults, I also created 'Ready. Set. Fly!', a children's book that inspires self-confidence and resilience. When I'm not writing, I enjoy gardening, reading, playing games, and spending time with those closest to me.
