Getting me back on track
I love(d) journalling and was so uber consistent for years and then I had kids... My youngest and last is now a whopping 10 months and I still haven't been consistent. However it has been more consistent than it was all thanks to Tamara's group and the prompts. The daily prompts (for premium members) have been fun, low pressure but still deep and eye opening. So fun in fact that I actually traveled to go meet Tamara in person with my youngest so she could meet the trouble maker keeping me tired. She was super lovely in person and we have plans to do that again. Especially if she ends up in my neck of the woods. And I can share when I want as much or as little without pressure. Plus using gifs in the community is fun too.

Noob Journal-er?
I am a total noob to journaling. InkConnections provides a space that creates space for all levels of experience. With daily prompts, a warm energy, tips, & tricks, I'm finding that journaling is not just a hobby... but an excellent practice that helps me to understand myself, my relationships, and even my business on a much deeper level.

Journaling community with high potential
I have been part of different journaling communities for several years now. But Tamara is different. It is obvious how much passion and effort she puts into creating this community. She is very active and engages with the community members daily. You can feel how much she cheers and cherish the people of her community. It is a safe, comfy online space which I can´t wait to see how it grows.

Wonderful community if you like books
I love reading and being around others talking about reading recommendations and what we learned from the books we have read is great. It's always fun to exchange ideas.

The Blooming Book Club is a space to connect with others who enjoy reading and growing!
Emma has created a lovely corner to grab a book and dive in ~ and she values the opinions of others. She encourages us to read and then share our big takeaways! I value her ability to create a picture of a blooming garden and we are the flowers! Growing day by day! Emma is very patient and doesn't pressure us to keep up with the rigor of an in-person book club meeting. Love this community!
