Love the idea of starting over in a notebook. I call it reclaiming when I take one back from a project that didn't go where I wanted or expected. Hope you're having a great August!
I just love hearing you speak. Your channels are fun, inspiring, creative, informative and entertaining. Love your notebook challenge videos and all your ideas on how to use them. I think the taco notebook is my favorite of the two. Thank you!
You always have the perfect touch when you decorate your notebooks. I really appreciate the way you described how you are using each notebook un unique ways. Thank you 🎉
Hello from India, its been do many yrs i follow ur blogs n get inspiration to journal I'm obsessed with journaling now as its changed my life coz i hv lost my love ones in pandemic it was hard for me to lead normal life. I use to watch blogs for divertation then cme across ur channel . Then start journaling now its most important part of my life. Thank you wish you n ur family happy n blissful life ❤
So glad you had such an awesome July. I hope that Evie's transition into school goes well for her (and mom & dad). That taco notebook is adorable and funny but also true! 😂 Tacos are my happy food.
Glad to see you back! Yes to your Mastermind idea! I need and want more author connections in my life and am struggling to make them. I'm also excited about more Notion content! I love using that platform, but I get overwhelmed there. I'm attending Inkers and it has been so inspiring and informational, although I did get a little overwhelmed last weekend. My Activator, Futuristic, Input, and Learner kick into hyperdrive with conferences and I can't stop won't stop until I hit a wall. (My only complaint is that I didn't go live. I'm #1 Woo and being surrounded by authors for a few days sounds like heaven.) I love all the notebooks you shared this month and the vellum tip ins. I keep meaning to add those to my notebooks. All those books look good too. So many books, so little time. Sigh...
Every Challenge video, I eye the Moterm covers. I love the look of them, and the idea of having all those pockets for bits and bobs! :D Always fun seeing what journals and planners you're working out of! Thank you for sharing, Sarra!
You have the nicest vellum collection I’ve ever seen. I always see the best tip ins in these challenge videos! Goals. So glad you like my witchy kawaii stuff! ❤️❤️❤️
That pale blue wallet looks *so* much like a 31 Gifts All About The Benjamins wallet that I have. The problem with the AATB is that it doesn't allow you to slide a notebook cover under the right side. Only the left side has an open flap behind a few card slots, which would probably mean using a Hebrew notebook (since they're bound on the right side). But it's a great wallet and has a wristlet, so you don't need a purse. I don't use as many books, stickers, etc as many people but I'm having a really difficult time finding exactly what I want/need, to the point where I'm considering creating something totally custom.
I've also been doing InkersCon. There's been a lot of really great presentations. I loved Melanie Harlow's presentation from the main conference and her live Q&A she did for the virtual conference.
I'm on notebook #3 this year. I started writing letters to God every morning, and while I don't write *every* morning, I do get it done most days. Number 2 was a lovely, beefy, purple one that I miss. LOL I should be done with #3 by the end of this month and I have the next notebook lined up already. Thanks for the inspiration. I love your notebooks! :)
Inkers Con is the best! Love that I can watch it when it is convenient for me. I hope you have something fun planned for yourself on Evie's first day. Might be a great day to restart your lunch dates with George.
I can't believe you met Jim Wilbourne! We're in a community together and he's so knowledgeable about everything. I'm jealous of both of you meeting each other haha
Love the notebook challenge every month. Both of the journals for the giveaway are super cute, especially the taco one. Your nails are such a pretty pink.
I just added even more planners and notebooks to my daily/weekly/monthly routines, even though I am already taking your inspiration to use so many notebooks for so many different tasks that bring me joy. It takes forever to fill any of them, but it's so great to use them for tarot and writing notes and planning and witchy things and thoughts and notes. I always get so excited about your new videos, and I'm already eagerly awaiting the next one 🥳
I’m excited to read your upcoming book,just because I love the way you have explained your thoughts in this video with not many breaths in between. To me that means you know exactly what you want to say.
I'm interested in anything Notion and how to use it as a writer. I've done a few things with it, but I feel like someone has done it better than I have, but I haven't found it yet.
Greetings from Australia. Your journey back into writing your books again has been such an inspiration to me, as I have been seeking to find my joy in my craft once more. I also have PCOS and just had a sleep test for suspected sleep apnoea. So you're inspiring in all sorts of ways! Thank you for sharing all parts of your journey. I may not be a taco, but I'm a pretty spicy burrito. 😂
Thank you for the awesome ideas and inspiration! I just love these videos. I am definitely interested in getting grouped for a MasterMind. Also, have you ever looked at Planner Perfect? They have great wallet/cover combos.
Hey Sarra! Great vid! I'd be down for a mastermind group assignment! Appreciate all you do and love Dylan's books too. Happy August, Happy Lammas and love, love, love all the notebooks!
Love these notebook challenge videos so much. I recently got a wax set too and I’m having so much fun with it and can’t wait to use it on my Xmas card sand for December Daily ❤❤❤
I just rewatched your happy planner plotting videos because I'm FINALLY getting my act together to start writing my first book :) Also I love my moterm cover that I use for my HB90/bullet journal.
I’d love a video explaining what a Mastermind Group is/does! I’m launching my bookkeeping biz in a few months and would love to have a go-to group of other bookkeepers to strategize and bounce ideas off of. Also-love love love that you and George are best friends. He is so supportive of you-girl, I’d give anything to have my husband follow suit! You’re very lucky! 🙌🏻
I'm doing Inker's Con too! I'm watching the replays because I like to take a lot of notes and I've been busy on weekends. I did manage to sneak in the Melanie Harlow Q & A and a virtual meetup. I'm impressed with the quality of information they provide.
You read my mind, I was thinking about it and for this Q3 one of my goals is to find a mastermind for authors. So II love the idea of a mastermind! You have the cutest collection of notebooks, binders, stickers, clips...Inkers sounds so fun, Ive never been to an event like that for authors. I am a new author and I also design journals and notebooks, I am so grateful for this community and for all I've learn in your courses.
I received your email with the link to August Notebook challenge and saw the picture of you with your adorable kids. Looks like a fun adventure day and the pure joy on each of your faces is priceless. Like you, I, too, am trying to reconnect with my joy. Also, with my intuition and spirituality as well. Self care is a priority for first time in my life. I am exploring notebooks and planners to find ways of joy and productivity. (It’s been expensive as I have been purchasing EC as well as Etsy dashboards and such, but who can put a price tag on joy?! 😝. ) I really enjoy these notebook challenges and all the video, frankly. I always take away something good to apply or just think about. Thank you for all you do!
Does adding pages to a Happy notes count as finishing a notebook?😅 as I have added a bunch of papers to the happy notes I'm using to do my zero draft that is now over 46k🎉 and I'm finally nearing the ending but still need to write a bunch of scenes😊
Omg. I am waiting for my cpap to arrive in the mail- I was just diagnosed with sleep apnea! Thank you for sharing that you feel better so soon as I am anxious about using it!! As always- love the notebook challenge and your positivity and joy!! 💖💖🎉
I love these notebooks. I'm starting to work on my first novel, so a nice notebook will be appreciated :) I'm always trying to do more that makes me happy so the black notebook is my choice :)
A mastermind is usually a group of people all working toward a similar career goal. The mastermind I'm in is all 6 figure business women looking to increase our impact and income. We meet weekly online but once a year, we go to a mastermind retreat where we get together for 3 or so days to strategize our business plans!
Sarra, I have been attending Inkers Con as well. I have made it to a few live videos, but mostly been watching the repeats. It's been fantastic so far. Would be interested in a Masters Class. Am having a hard time finding fellow cozy mystery authors! Thanks for all you do.
I always love the notebook challenge. I would be very interested in a mastermind or mastermind matching service. I've been looking for a good brianstorm buddy.
You often seem to be taking such interesting courses. How do you find the courses you take? I'd love a course for a beginning author. What would be the way to find a good one?
What are you most interested in learning? My friend Ines has a great course on pacing in your plot, it's called Page Turner pacing. thebreakdown.teachable.com/p/page-turner-pacing
@@HeartBreathings I thought I answered this yesterday but it isn't showing up. Pacing sounds great; however, I am still at the "write that first draft" stage. I'm looking for something to help me go from Idea to outline to acts to first draft. Are you aware of a good basic writing course? I need the accountability and pacing of a course :)
Happy August!! (Sorry for the weird shadow during part of this video. Too many windows in this room!!😊) Hope your month is off to a great start!!
Think that there is a dust part on you sensor, do you use interchangeable lenses?
Have a fantastic August 🎉
Love the idea of starting over in a notebook. I call it reclaiming when I take one back from a project that didn't go where I wanted or expected. Hope you're having a great August!
I just started that in my old Stalogy. I’m happy I’ll be able to use it up. ❤️🇨🇦
I just love hearing you speak. Your channels are fun, inspiring, creative, informative and entertaining. Love your notebook challenge videos and all your ideas on how to use them. I think the taco notebook is my favorite of the two. Thank you!
You always have the perfect touch when you decorate your notebooks. I really appreciate the way you described how you are using each notebook un unique ways. Thank you 🎉
I am excited about the notion video! I watched your last one and went crazy with setting it up!
May the angels protect and watch over your daughter as she starts the next step in her journey
Thank you so much
I’m right with you! My writing took a huge break during summer and now that august is here I’m ready to get back into it 😊
Hello from India, its been do many yrs i follow ur blogs n get inspiration to journal I'm obsessed with journaling now as its changed my life coz i hv lost my love ones in pandemic it was hard for me to lead normal life. I use to watch blogs for divertation then cme across ur channel . Then start journaling now its most important part of my life. Thank you wish you n ur family happy n blissful life ❤
So inspiring. I’m just starting to use notebooks to organize and track. Getting better at it each month. I love the darker notebook…
that taco journal is too cute! i always love seeing all your different planners and journals! i'm currently working on daily journal #41!
It made me so happy to hear the bell ring. Fantastic to have you back Sarra! Hope you had a wonderful time with your family. ❤🎉
Thank you!
So glad you had such an awesome July. I hope that Evie's transition into school goes well for her (and mom & dad). That taco notebook is adorable and funny but also true! 😂 Tacos are my happy food.
It isnt August! It cant be! 😂
I'm trying to fill my pretty notebooks because of your inspiration!
Yay!!
Glad to see you back!

These videos always make me so happy! Love seeing other people's notebooks.
Yay! My monthly reminder to play with notebooks! 😉(LOL, I need no reminder but always happy to watch the videos!)
I love the black sparkly journal. I would use it as a gratitude journal since my Rabbinical staff taught us about gratitude during the pandemic.
Every Challenge video, I eye the Moterm covers. I love the look of them, and the idea of having all those pockets for bits and bobs! :D Always fun seeing what journals and planners you're working out of! Thank you for sharing, Sarra!
You have the nicest vellum collection I’ve ever seen. I always see the best tip ins in these challenge videos! Goals. So glad you like my witchy kawaii stuff! ❤️❤️❤️
So cute!!
I really love these videos! They're my monthly pick me up when I'm feeling a bit blegh about my notebooks. Thanks for all you do for this community
Love these videos! It’s always great to see how you’re using and decorating your notebooks each month! 💜
Such a great video, Sarra! Thank you for pouring into us and I hope you feel the love right back atcha. XO

Wonderland222 has a wallet/purse/planner holder combo. It was available for preorder- not sure if it the preorder is still open or not.
Glad your vacation was full of family fun and didn't involve work! You needed that!
I love the diversity of authors that you mentioned every month.
I've also been doing InkersCon. There's been a lot of really great presentations. I loved Melanie Harlow's presentation from the main conference and her live Q&A she did for the virtual conference.

The blue wallet is so pretty!!
I always love these video's, they are great for inspiration on what to use my 70 billion notebooks on, lol.
Giving a new life to old notebooks, love it! Your videos are always like a therapy session 😊
💕 Thank you for another great video! This series is really helping me use my notebooks.
I love the idea of your 6 months for life! Do you have a video on set up and how you’re doing it? So intrigued
I can't believe you met Jim Wilbourne! We're in a community together and he's so knowledgeable about everything. I'm jealous of both of you meeting each other haha
I adore him, and yes, he's so smart and talented!!!
Love the notebook challenge every month. Both of the journals for the giveaway are super cute, especially the taco one. Your nails are such a pretty pink.
You have the neatest notebooks. Hope the school year goes well for your children.

I live for your posts. You have inspired me so much! And your a person just like me, lol. Love you!

Love all of these notebooks! They’re always so cute
Always love your notebook challenge.
The Taco is beyond cute. I would use it to get back into short story writing or plan out cutsie romance novellas.
I love, love, LOVE these notebook challenges! Thank you! God bless you and your sweet family! ❤
Thank you for the awesome ideas and inspiration! I just love these videos. I am definitely interested in getting grouped for a MasterMind. Also, have you ever looked at Planner Perfect? They have great wallet/cover combos.

Is it just me who's a sucker for any foil or sparkly cover on a notebook?
Hey Sara, thanks for this awesome video! Mastermind: Yes!! 🎉😅
Yes! Double down day! I really need the boost to help me get further in my draft.
I received your email with the link to August Notebook challenge and saw the picture of you with your adorable kids. Looks like a fun adventure day and the pure joy on each of your faces is priceless.

I love it, thank you for thinking of me!
I was so happy to see the August challange

Does adding pages to a Happy notes count as finishing a notebook?😅 as I have added a bunch of papers to the happy notes I'm using to do my zero draft that is now over 46k🎉 and I'm finally nearing the ending but still need to write a bunch of scenes😊
Great video. I’m super interested & intrigued by the mastermind matchmaking idea!
These are such relaxing videos. Beautiful notebooks.
Love your planners
Hiya from Oz, it looks like KikkiK still have the continental wallets on their website for purchase 🙂
Omg. I am waiting for my cpap to arrive in the mail- I was just diagnosed with sleep apnea! Thank you for sharing that you feel better so soon as I am anxious about using it!! As always- love the notebook challenge and your positivity and joy!! 💖💖🎉
Was so excited to see your video pop up. ❤
Definitely interested in learning more about Mastermind. 😊
A girl can never have too many notebooks or journals 😊❤
Yes! I am interested! TY
I love these notebooks. I'm starting to work on my first novel, so a nice notebook will be appreciated :) I'm always trying to do more that makes me happy so the black notebook is my choice :)
good luck with your daughter going to school. congrats!
I love your videos. ❤❤❤ first time commenting but always watching your videos.
Thank you! This means a lot!
Man I love your content ❤
This gave me such a smile today, thank you for being here!
Silly question. What does she mean by "Mastermind". I'm not familiar with this kind of event.
A mastermind is usually a group of people all working toward a similar career goal. The mastermind I'm in is all 6 figure business women looking to increase our impact and income. We meet weekly online but once a year, we go to a mastermind retreat where we get together for 3 or so days to strategize our business plans!
I'd love a mastermind!
My daughter’s name is Phoenix and she is 3 and also starting school for the first time. I, too, am happy to be done with the diaper bag stage lol
I hope she has a wonderful first time at school!
Sarra, I have been attending Inkers Con as well. I have made it to a few live videos, but mostly been watching the repeats. It's been fantastic so far. Would be interested in a Masters Class. Am having a hard time finding fellow cozy mystery authors! Thanks for all you do.
I would love ❤️ any of the notebooks 📓 and YES to the Mastermind 😊
Great video as always! I got let loose in Hobby Lobby today and woohoo I bought a new Happy Planner that I didn't really need but it makes me happy...
I always love the notebook challenge. I would be very interested in a mastermind or mastermind matching service. I've been looking for a good brianstorm buddy.
The taco notebook is so cute
Beautiful set-up!
Oooo the black journal so nice.
I have I think 13 journals that needs to be filled up, I started journal 3 at the beginning of the month
Enjoy your new stage of life - both of your children in school. It goes fast.
Oh Wow, I have been here for a bout 4 yrs! It went by fast!!
You often seem to be taking such interesting courses. How do you find the courses you take? I'd love a course for a beginning author. What would be the way to find a good one?

um Y E S I would love to be part of a mastermind match! I've been desperate for a close-knit writing group but have no clue how to find one.
I’d love the “awesome” notebook
I love both notebooks, but maybe the taco a tinsy bit more lol.
Would love to be in a Mastermind with other working moms. Finding time is a challenge!
inkerscon looks so interesting!
