Susan Smay, Owner

Hello and welcome to the Journal District! I am Susan, the owner, creator, and caretaker here. It is lovely to meet you! So where are you in your journal keeping journey? Just starting? Or maybe you already have a few tear-stained, rumpled paged, filled from cover to cover journals safely tucked away somewhere. My love for journaling started in elementary school when got my very first "dear diary", complete with a soft, silky ribbon page marker and golden lock and key. In those pages, I confided my deepest, darkest secrets (boy crushes!!) to my everyday life (today we had pizza for lunch). I didn't know it back then, but having that little diary to journal in, was giving me a much needed place to vent, to dream, to process the bad, and immortalize the good. 

​

My love for journaling has never waned, but my practice has throughout my life. Not so long ago I was reminded of how much I love spending time journaling and of how incredibly beneficial it is for my mental and emotional health. It was during a journaling session that I came to know that I wanted to help cultivate a love for journaling in others. This is how The Journal District was born! My heart  is to create beautiful journals that enhance your journaling experience. Take a look around the shop at my exclusive Journal District journals and notebooks to see if something there might fit your needs.
