    This is such a serendipitous video for me to stumble upon. I started a Commonplace Book today! I have kept a journal for decades, but always lose my quotes in those journal pages or my notebooks or calendars, and I recently remembered the idea of a Commonplace Book so I decided to start one for the new year. I love the Zeitgeist...
    I read a lot of books checked out from the library and sent to my kindle. One of the great things about kindles is the ability to highlight passages, make notes and then have the notes emailed when you finish the book. I thought how great to be able to glue some of my favorite passages right into the Commonplace book. (The kindle formatting is really great.) I'll mostly scribble in mine, but I do love the idea of incorporating my best ebook notes directly into a physical book.
    I also wanted to introduce myself and thank you for your wonderful channel! I am really enjoying your videos, and share many of your practices. Love and blessings for the new year!

      Thank you so much for sharing and introducing yourself! And thanks so much for your kind words. I don't have a Kindle but I love that it lets you email notes to yourself! It will make such a fun book with your written notes and the pasted in quotes. And I totally forgot to mention how useful a Commonplace book is for library book reads. Thank you for reminding me 😊 Thanks again for your kind comment and for watching! Wishing you much love and blessings in 2022!

    I didn’t know it ever had a name, but I keep a few note books on different themes. One I put anything funny, another I write catchy motivational quotes, etc. they do come in handy.

      I love how you put funny quotes in one book and motivational quotes in another. Fun way to categorize the quotes 😀 Thanks so much for sharing and watching 💖

    Thanks for your presentation. I started a commonplace book in January 2023. It’s been great. Quotes, reading, thoughts about reading, and personal development are in my current book. Floregia? I love it.

    I would love to see inside your commonplace book to get some examples of what you’ve described.

    Starting an intentional commonplace book this week. My last method was numerous disorganized notes in journals everywhere or one big book w everything in it (will use your index idea for that!)
    I thank you for a year of good ideas and inspirations !

      I used to have quotes all over the place too 😊 The index is super useful for loose notes. Thanks so much for watching and for sharing 💖 Wishing you a wonderful New Year!

    Definitely starting a commonplace journal! Was researching through youtube and found the video you posted an year ago talking about the quote of Tolstoj and it was very inspiring!
    Has anyone told you that you resemble Liv Tyler? I can catch some similarities 😊
    I also think that the name of the channel is very fitting since you really seem a gentle being 💖

      Oh my goodness, thank you so much for your sweet comment 💖 I do love that Tolstoy quote - it perfectly expresses why keeping a Commonplace book is so wonderful. I'm so happy to hear you are going to be starting a Commonplace Journal!Thanks again for your kind words and for watching!
