Wonderfully inspiring... I think this is my favourite of your videos so far. I love hearing about how other journal keepers record their thoughts and document their days. Thank you for this!
Thank you so much!
Finally got a chance to watch this again and make some notes. Definitely one of your best! I journal a lot but still found it valuable.
My favourite quote : "you are writing a guidebook to your inner self"
Thank you so much! I am so glad that you enjoyed it!
Props to you, honestly! One of the most inspiring videos I’ve ever come across. Such a gem online. Thanks!
Thank you very much! I am so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks!
Excellent video with plenty of inspiration. Thank you for this post.
Thank you very much!
WOW!!! Hemingway! This has got to be my favorite of all the videos you've done (and you've done many excellent ones). In my senior year of High School, I wrote my final term paper on Thoreau in Advance Composition class, and have had the wonderful experience of visiting Walden twice. So many of your shots were familiar to me. I grew up in Illinois about 85 miles northwest of Chicago. So going to Walden as a High School student was only a distant dream. When I finally went there for the first time it was almost akin to a pilgrimage. Now I am 66 years old, sitting in my little tea room today, watching a tremendous snowfall in Nova Scotia, and this wonderful video. I had checked in to your live show the other day and was looking forward to this. You did a fantastic job! I will probably watch this video again and again, at least once a month! Probably every couple of weeks! I LOVE IT!!!
Wow, George, thank you very much for your kind words. I really appreciate it. This is what keeps me motivated. I cannot tell you how much it means to me. All the best!
Speechless. This video left me thinking. Great choice of music, beautiful views, deep thinking. Thank You Mr. H.J.
Thank you very much! I enjoyed making this one.
Impeccable music choice throughout, as the perfect backdrop for your voice. Watching this before bedtime is very enjoyable.
Thank you very much! I am so glad you enjoyed it.
Hey Hemingway! Unfortunately, I've missed all your lives lately, but my evening obligations have taken me away for a bit. Just wanted to thank you for your latest series of journal tips! Little by little, day by day, my journaling becomes more honest and reflective. The way you open up to your audience allows me to drive a little deeper into my writing, no longer fixated on what others would think if they read my journal. Great work as always! And you still manage to make the video production better with each release! THANK YOU!
Thank you very much, Matt! I appreciate that greatly!
As a result of your beautiful episode I have become a devotee of journaling. Thank you .
Thanks so much, Martin! I am so glad that you enjoyed it.
And yet Hemminway delivers another masterpiece, thank so much.
Thank you very much! You are too kind! I appreciate it!
Please keep making videos like this! I’ve been journaling for a few years now and love to see new ways of doing it
Thank you! I will always make videos about journaling so stay tuned! We talk about it a lot on the Live show too. All the best!
Well-produced video, with valuable content - both in terms of journalling technique, and highlighting the importance of Thoreau's resistance to the materialism of modernising society, valuing nature, simplicity, and equity.
Thank you very much! I am glad you enjoyed it.
Your tips about writing in a journal are useful for me, you clearly put a lot of thought into this and I am fortunate to benefit from your experience. Thank you.
Thanks you! Happy to help.
Thanks for posting. I can't pinpoint an exact point in the video, but you've motivated me to reattempt to journal. It never stuck for whatever reason. The tips you've mentioned seems doable, so I have a feeling this journaling habit will definitely stick this time! Thank you and best to you and your family :)
Thank you so much. So happy that I could help. Stop back again soon and let me know how it’s going.
Another great informative, inspiring and peaceful video. Thank you
Thank you so much!
I love your videos. I will share this with my neighbor’s 22-year-old son, who is leaving next Sunday to study in Spain. I’m encouraging him to record his five-month stay in a journal. Keep up the excellent work on your impressive videos.
Thank you, Barry! That is very kind of you. Wow, what a trip he is going on. Journaling his experience would be invaluable for him.
Thank you for the wonderful video on journaling and Thoreau. I read Walden first in college when I was taking a class on early American writers. I've reread bits and pieces since then. Your video has inspired me to slow down and relax into the pace of an earlier day and style of writing, and read it through again, as well as to be more intentional about my journaling.
Thank you so much, Irene! I am so happy that this resonated with you. This was so fun to make and so special to me. I love when I have the whole family involved and we were able to introduce Thoreau to our little one. I am so glad that this inspired you!
What a wonderful "journal" entry. I love the suggestion of a past - present - future entry and to put the date on the entry. I love how it was filmed and the change of scenes. It really shows that you love the content that you are producing.
Thanks so much! I am so glad that you enjoyed it. This one was extra fun to make. Thanks!
Finally carved out some time to watch this one. Very inspiring. By the way, I like your choices for background music.
Thanks so much, David! I spend a lot of time going through the free music library on TH-cam. Thanks for the kind words and tor being there.
A really nicely structured video. Well done, Hemingway. Journaling saved my life.
Thank you, Brian! I appreciate it. I hear that and share the feeling, My Friend.
Beautiful and inspiring. Thank you.
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching. This one is special to me.
Your best video !
Thank you!
These kind of videos makes me feel your channel deserves a lot more subscribers and soon enough this channel will grow immensely. Just keep bringing the videos. All the best.
I love writing and a day feels incomplete if i don't write, so i can completely relate to this video and your channel in general.
Thank you so much! That would be nice. If anything, my views are falling so I am not so sure it will ever take off. I am glad you like it.
Beautiful video ...Loud and clear ... Journaling ... Just do it Thanks HJ
Thank you My Friend!
Thanks, Hemingway!!! This was a great and a very informative video. Thanks for making such a wonderful video.
Thanks Buddy! I’m glad you liked it.
This is my favorite channel on TH-cam. I have absorbed many of your lessons and further developed my deep addiction to fountain pens and notebooks. I know all TH-camrs have this moment when they ask themselves why they keep doing it but please keep at it. I truly enjoy each post and your whole aesthetic.
PS:,I think it would be interesting for you to discuss typewriters since you have a fine collection. As a fellow typewriter collector, I would love to take a quick tour of your collection on one of your episodes.
PPS:You may enjoy a book I am reading entitled "The Notebook: a History of Thinking on Paper" by Roland Allen. This book is truly up your alley.
Thank you very much! I really appreciate the vote of confidence! I am not going anywhere! I just want to be happier while I am doing it! Thanks!
I did do a bunch of typewriter videos early in the Channel. Sadly, few people watched them, but they are there in an album. Perhaps I’ll do another some time.
Greetings from Australia.
Great Video I enjoyed it.
The global pandemic initiated my journey into pens, ink and journals.
With me it's all or nothing and I took the bull by the horns and have been journalling religiously every since then.
Simultaneously I have about 5 journals on the go which include: Everyday Journal; Recollections Journal; Piano Practice Journal; One line per day Journal and copying the notebook of Mark Twain just for the sake of writing.
I have about 70 fountain pens, just as many inks and lots of journals. So I've gone crazy.
Not knowing about this diarist I would say that he was definitely inspired by Buddha. One of the quotes you highlighted is reminiscent of the Buddha.
But that's only my opinion.
Great Video.
Thank you very much for the kind words! I am so glad that you enjoyed the video. Stop by again soon. All the best!
Hello HJ. What a nice job with the video. The scenery inspires a deeper, more deliberate way of life. It truly embraces the journey in one's life and gives it meaning. Documenting it in a journal gives us a means of remembering all that has happened to us, good or bad and allows us to grow as human beings. Again, great job and thank you.
Thank you, Richard! I appreciate the kind words and it is always a pleasure to hear from you. Thank you!
I love the content of this video, thank you Hemingway for sharing this incredibly valuable info with the world and also thank you for sharing that sweet moment with your little girl, she is adorable!
Thank you so much! I am so glad that you enjoyed it. I love that shot of her and me. It gets me every time. All the best!
Beautiful 🌹
Love from Iran ❤️
Thank you very much! All the best and much love to you! ❤️
Some good thoughts here; nice work. Not that it's a ranking exercise, but I like this one almost as well as the Benu faeries.
I am so happy that the Benu video gets some love. I am equally glad that you like this one. It’s OK to rank it. TH-cam certainly does. Usually my good ones don’t do as well. I am hoping this one is an exception. Thanks so much!!!!
Truly a fantastic video.
Thank you!
Thank you so much! This video is truly inspiring….it reaches deep into the heart of journaling, activity that for some of us is vital to our mental health. Is possibly one of favorite videos and to be revisited again. Warm wishes for you and your family.
Thank you so much, Alicia! I am so glad that you enjoyed it and found it helpful. Thanks for being part of the channel.
I already had a habit of jotting down ideas or typing notes on my phone before, but journaling to meditate on them has given them meaning. I've graduated from being a data hoarding goblin to being a journaling journeyman! I've lurked the channel and streams for a bit already but I felt something special in this video that tickled me into commenting.
Welcome and thanks for commenting! I am happy to know that you are out there and enjoying this channel. It is very nice meet you and feel free to comment anytime or join in on the Live chats. We’ll try to keep you inspired to continue your journaling. All the best.
Great video sir! Thank you
Thank you for watching!
I hope you won't mind a bit of feedback. There's a repeated clip here where you appear to be wandering along the wooded path in a contemplative fashion, yet you can be seen visibly waving your camera person back with your hand. In the theater, I believe this is called "breaking the fourth wall." Of course, we know from the angles that someone must be there filming you (and eventually, we even see that person's shadow), but I find it startling to see a stage direction in the middle of a nature stroll. Still a lovely video; I love the idea of looking to Thoreau for journaling inspiration and will be pulling out my copy of On Walden Pond for inspiration soon.
I had to go look for the clip you were speaking about and try to figure it out. I know what you mean and it’s funny because I am not addressing the camera person but my daughter who was also there. One of the issues I had in filming this one was that I really didn’t have enough footage for what I wanted to say, so I used everything! Although truth be told, I break 4th wall all the time. I appreciate the feedback and I am glad you like the video. All the best.
@@HemingwayJones Ah, that makes sense. Walden Pond isn't really a place to be *solitary man in the woods" anymore anyway. The shots with your daughter are charming
Journaling is good for the soul. I'm a latecomer to the practice with quiet regret I didn't start decades ago.
On the other hand, I like the deniability. If my journal looks crazy I can explain the insanity away. I don't know what I'm doing! 🙂
Nice! Thanks so much! You are the best.
Hi Hemingway. A very interesting video. One of your best! I enjoyed the information about the life of Thoreau.
Hello David, It is always a pleasure hearing from you. I hope that all is well in your world. Wish you all the best and thanks for stopping by.
Thanks, Hemingway. I can't add much to what others have already said, so I'll try to be brief. For those who, like me, have mild depression, keeping a "gratitude journal" is a wonderful tonic. Just keep a record of the things for which you are grateful on a daily basis. Especially simple things like a smile, a kiss or a sunset. For most, it is uplifting to realize the good almost always outweighs the not so good.
For folks who are spiritually inclined, I highly recommend "The Diary of a Soul." Written by St. Therese of Liseux, it chronicles what is now known as her "little way of holiness." A path that involves nothing more than doing the simplest things in life with love and gratitude and understanding that even our trials and tribulations have the potential for great good.
On a much more practical note, I highly recommend journaling for anyone who, like me, continues trying to improve his/her cursive writing. Practice, practice, practice! In addition, rather than use paragraphs, I keep 6 pens inked up with different colored inks and switch pens when I would normally begin a new paragraph. That way, I get lots of use out of my 35 or so pens and inks, all of which I enjoy a lot. Save a wee bit of paper, too!
Hello My Friend! Wonderful comment! Thank you. I identified with the cursive writing practice. This was one of my initial inspirations 30 years ago. Drop by again again and all the best.
@@HemingwayJones I promise to check in regularly. However, I seldom have the time to watch videos over an hour; not even good ones like yours. I'll do it when I can, however. All the best to you and your family, too. Thanks for sharing them with us. Can understand why you are inspired to write love letters!
@@wlbrockman Thanks very much! I am trying to keep the Live show to around an hour or under! Let’s see how I do. Wish you all the best!
Well done! I just reread Walden recently. His words are such a treasure! And thanks to you for keeping the benefits of journaling at the forefront of this channel. ❤
Thank you so much, Alliejay! I am so glad that you enjoyed it. It really means a lot to me.
Wonderful video. I kept rewinding and pausing to take notes. I have tried to read On Walden Pond several times but always got sidetracked. You have inspired me to reach for this book again.
Thank you very much! I still have the script if you want me to email it to you. Hemingwayjones@icloud.com cheers.
@Hemingway Jones that is unbelievably kind of you to offer. I'm not sure how to send/receive emails across different servers. And truly, I am enjoying bouncing around your video...the scenery is magical and reminds me of a property we owned in Northern Michigan.
So great my friend! Going to do an extra journal entry just for this.
Nice! Thanks so much!
This is an amazing video, probably my favourite.
Beautiful images of a peaceful day are an ideal complement to your vision of the real meaning of journaling.
This video is a little gem, it’s so original and motivating.
My only wish for your future works is to watch them with no interruptions, commercials just ruin the atmosphere and disrupt the viewer’s concentration.
I’ll surely join your channel as soon it is ads free.
Thanks for being my main source of inspiration in journaling.
Thanks so much, Sergio! I don’t think that it will ever be ads free. TH-cam runs ads and we either share in ia small portion of the revenue or we don’t. I don’t think I have much input in the ads or how they run. I may be wrong about that. I will look into it further. I have TH-cam Premium because I watch so much TH-cam! So I don’t know what ads are like, but I agree with you that I don’t like them interrupting. Take care!
Perhaps you should join now to show your support. If enough people join, then Hemingway could see at what point he felt he could survive and thrive without TH-cam ads.
Beautiful! I love the quiet, calming water and your voice! The information about Thoreau mixed with journaling tips is wonderful!
@@judyanderson1329 Thank you so much!!!!
Hemingway, I just watch the video on Walden Pond. What a fantastic video. very well put together. the tips on Journaling opened my eyes to some things that I was missing; which I will be implementing on my next journal entry. I noticed that you used a lot of different fountain pens in the video. I think that was a nice touch! I look forward to Tuesday at 8. See you then.
I am so glad that you enjoyed this, My Friend! Thank you!
Hemingway! Wow what a wonderful job on this weeks episode. I gained some new ideas for change up journaling. I was actually starting to get a little bored with the way I journaled. It seems I was doing it the same way day in and day out. Thank you for some new ideas. Always great content and always inspiring keep up the awesome journey.
Wendell, My Friend, thank you very much! I really appreciate it. I am so glad that I can help to inspire you even in a small way. Thanks for being here with me.
This is a valuable video, great job Hemingway!
Thank you, Shane! You are the best! I appreciate it.
Thank you, again for another great video.
Thanks for watching!
@@HemingwayJones your videos is what I look forward to watching during the week.
@@andrewscott9610 That is so sweet of you to say. Thank you!
Great video HJ. I’ve been journaling for some time now but I still got quite a few good points to help me in my journey.
Gino! You are the best! Thanks for watching.
You are so inspiring!! I'm so glad I found your channel ... thanks to Waski Squirrel mentioning you!!!
Thank you so much! You are very kind! Thanks for being on my Live last night. It was a pleasure having you and you are always welcome. I am excited to check out your channel as well. Stop by again soon.
Bravo! This was so well done. I’ve recently started to journal, and this channel is such an inspiration. I believe Walden has risen to the top of my reading list as well. Thank you for taking precious time and producing this content for us.
Thank you so much! This is so very kind of you to say. Thank you!
You forgot maybe the the most read journal, Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. I start every New Year by reading it.
Great video! Your openness about journaling has helped me improve my journaling.
Marcus Aurelius is pretty amazing. I love getting insight into an ancient mind. Great call!
What a wonderful video! Thanks!! Full of history and beautiful landscapes... I started journaling a few years ago as a form of therapy for mental health, it really changed my life.
Probably my new favorite video on the channel
Thanks very much, Marco! I am so glad that you enjoyed it! I really had fun making this one.
You are such a inspiration Hemingway. I just love your videos and your style is on point!
Thank you so much! That is very kind of you to say. Thanks for watching!
Another wonderful video. I am enjoying watching your style evolve and looking forward to seeing what the future holds.
Thanks so much! Darrel! Always a pleasure!!!
Great stuff, as usual. I remember my Dad taking me there as a kid - he was actually named after Emerson. The footage and words make for a perfect video. Thanks!
Wow, Phil, that is so cool about your dad. Thanks so much for the kind words. I am so glad you enjoyed it.
As usual, lovely video! Incidentally, I will be headed to Quartzsite, AZ next week where Van-Lifers and RV enthusiasts congregate for the winter months because of the moderate temps (70 degrees in January) and free camping on BLM land. Ironic because these modern day "off-grid minimalists" require internet connections because they use their monetized TH-cam channels to fund their lifestyle so they can pay for gas, propane, showers, solar panels, batteries, and campground fees. They shamelessly seek views and likes and new subscribers to gain corporate sponsorships, so they really aren't "off-grid minimalists" at all! They would not survive 30 days living in a rustic cabin with no plumbing, electricity, running water, etc.!
That is a good point! They better have a lot of subscribers if they are trying to live from Social Media! It doesn’t pay much. Have a wonderful tome down there. It would make for some awesome B Roll! I love AZ. I haven’t been in a decade though. All the best!
@@HemingwayJones I will be taking selfies with all of the camel sculptures around town. Interesting bit of little-known history! Also, journaling with my new Estie Petrified Forest (yeah, had to buy that one, for obvious reasons!)
That pen is gorgeous! Congratulations! Enjoy it!
Excellent video! I’ve been debating if I should start journaling but worried I wouldn’t keep up with it.
Hello Richie, thanks for watching! Maybe this channel can help to keep you motivated. We speak about journaling almost every Tuesday night during the Live show.
Very nice and very valuable points :) Very good motivation to restart my journalism. keep vlogging. What you think about we keep write and never read the old. is it valuable. i never hand go back and see but i keep write things what in my mind.
Thanks very much!
The diaries of Virginia Woolf are another great source of inspiration, including but not limited to those who are interested in feminist thought.
That is an excellent one! Anais Nin as well, but that would make for a Dacey program. I should do an episode on notable diarists.
@@HemingwayJones Yes, please do!
That should have been “Racy Program!”
Hey HJ, another great video. I grew up east of Concord and the pond and often visited it prior to the Fed's taking over. I am reminded of Henry David's comments on the newly arrived Irish as they worked on the railroad to Fitchburg when I drive over it on Rte 2. I was surprised to learn how close his 'cabin in the woods' was to Concord Center where he could in perhaps less than an hour walk to the Emerson' s for sandwich when he had enough of his beans. While I have developed my habit of writing daily, changing inks on the Bones and Ides of each month, I need to work on stretching more than writing mere daily doings. It's difficult to be more expansive least these words be read by strangers after my death. Ha. Do you re-read your journals? I have not. Am I wrong? K(eep)U(p)T(he)G(ood)W(ork).
Thanks so much! You definitely know this area. Yes, I do reread my journals. I even read them for the Members! Not everything, of course! Thanks for the kind words of encouragement!
I always put the day date and year now. I have old journals without the year and it's annoying that the year is not there.
I don't put people's real names in my journals.
I have so many fountain pens and always write the name of the pen and nib type on the page.
I always carry 2 fountain pens and a very small shirt pocket moleskine notebook.
I have trouble remember people’s real names. I would have a very tough time with aliases! I am glad that you are journaling and enjoy those amazing pens.
I’m now starting to learn how to start journaling, however my wife says I need to work on my cursive writing. I see their are so many books pertaining to this. Do you have any recommendations? Thanks for your vlogs. 🤔
I have tried books on Palmer, Spencerian, how to improve your handwriting, and am now doing the Montblanc calligraphy classes, all to mixed effect! I wish I could help more.
@@HemingwayJones 🙏
That is so interesting . As I take pride in my pens and my journal so I have improved my cursive so I may be proud of it too. The secret to improvement is a slow down , form each letter as an individual work of art , start and finish each lower case letter on the Levine and develop a parallel slant for each vertical stroke and finally SLOW DOWN
Great video .plus showing different 🖋️ pens frank in Oswego ill
Thank you!
Red Wing Iron Rangers?
Blacksmith’s! But very close.
