What it is


A book of mostly blank pages, which is the right call.

Nobody can hand you the sentence that puts this behind you. What helps is smaller and slower than that: getting what happened out of your head, where it loops, and onto a page, where it holds still long enough to be looked at.

That's all this is. Thirty prompts, one at a time, and a lot of room.

How it's built

Thirty days, in three parts.

One prompt per page, with the writing room running to the foot of the page. A short reading opens each week, and a look-back arrives every seventh day or so. The ten principles from Making Lemonade run underneath the whole thing, three days each, though you don't need the book open to use it.

Take a week over one page if that's what it needs, or do three in an afternoon because something opened up. Thirty days is the shape, not the deadline.

What you get


Two versions, one download.

A print version with ruled lines, made for a pen, and a fillable version you can type into on a computer or tablet. The fillable one keeps its ruled lines, so it still looks like a journal rather than a form.

Instant download. Because it's a digital file, all sales are final and there are no refunds.

One thing before you start

If what you mostly feel is fear rather than sadness, if you are managing someone's temper, if leaving does not feel safe, then what you're carrying is bigger than a journal, and a journal is the wrong tool for it. That deserves real support: a therapist, people who know how to help you make a plan.
