How Dream Dash Journal began.

Dream Dash Journal was created in Spring 2018.

It was originally inspired by Bullet Journal.

The Bullet Journal method of journal-writing is about writing tidy lists. Nice, neat lists to increase productivity & get organized.

Great concept!

To be honest, when I first heard of Bullet Journal I was like What?! Someone took the concept of writing neat and tidy lists and made it a brand?? Seriously?? Genius.

I loved the idea that someone turned the ancient human practice of list-making into a brand. But as a writer and avid journaler, the Bullet Journal way of journaling felt completely opposite to my own natural writing tendencies.

When it comes to journaling, my lists look anything but neat. More like a mad scientist wrote them!

Thinking about this led me to wonder:

What about those of us who are a bit messier expressing our thoughts? What about the doodles in the margins? The scribbles, circled words, and made-up abbreviations?

I wanted to create my own brand around what might be thought of as “The opposite of Bullet Journal.”

And so here we are today with Dream Dash Journal! The idea behind the name is that you dash (synonym for write quickly) your dreams down in your journal.

A blog to inspire

This blog is all about inspiring people to be creative, write, think about life deeply, and manifest happiness.

Both personal development and spirituality have become big topics on the blog.

There is quite a bit about manifesting, affirmations, crystals, angel numbers, tarot, and related metaphysical topics.

For my writing, all topics related to spirituality or personal development are derived from personal life experiences. Source/God/Higher Self guides my writing and writes through me.

You will find plenty of articles about journaling, art projects, free art prints, inspirational quotes, and selling art on Etsy as well.

I hope you love the blog and it inspires you with positive words, creative ideas, free art, and tons of inspiration to live your best life!

*I used to sell a journal on Amazon as well, but it’s now being phased out. I’d love to sell made-in-the-US journals but cannot find a decent product at a reasonable price for the customer.

About me

My name is Kristen and I’ve always been a dabbler & creative. I have worked so many odd jobs over the years. I have sold on Amazon, Etsy, eBay, at craft shows, and in art galleries. I have an art and a nursing background and have lived many crazy adventures. I’m a creative entrepreneur at heart and feel extremely fulfilled and incredibly grateful to be blogging and selling a little bit of art for a living.

In addition, I enjoy reading, being outside, homemaking, old-school rock n’ roll/ heavy metal, questioning everything, and being a Mom of three. I’m from a tiny town in Maine but now live in beautiful sunny southwest Florida. You will always find me at the beach (like in the photo below!)
