Pleased to make your acquaintance!

Welcome to JD Dyola Journals™—Books for you and by YOU!™

 

Hi folks! Thanks for your visit and interest. I’m delighted to make your virtual acquaintance. You’re probably here because you’re interested in journaling and want to know more about JD Dyola Journals ❤™. If, however, you’ve never even heard of JD Dyola Journals ❤™ please continue reading. You’ll also want to check out our Previews page for an idea of what we have to offer, and the FAQs page for even more info.

Let’s get better acquainted…

In fact, let me take this opportunity to personally introduce you to JD Dyola Journals ❤™ because now is a great time to start journaling with us! With the 2018 addition of My Journal, My Journey, My Color: JD Dyola’s Celebration of Color Collection™, there are now 100 JD Dyola books from which to choose, that’s 4 categories of journals, grouped in 25 four-book sets:

GROUP 1: The 4-T“for TODAY” Journal Series (see sample below), the 4-H“por HOY” Spanish Editions (based on the 4-T™ series), and the 4-T™ Spinoffs (e.g., WIL–T™ Spinoffs and AWIR–T™ Spinoffs) support learning, reading, gratitude, and personal development. Each of these journals has a Thought Index™ to help you find specific entries quickly;

GROUP 2: The My Cleanse Keeper™ collection of journals facilitate record-keeping during a detox or health cleanse;

GROUP 3: With JD Dyola’s signature Thought Index™ and a Notes section, the Celebration of Life Collection™ (CoL) journals, without the quotes or regular prompts, contained in Groups 1 & 2 above, are ideal for writing your own book(s) or stories. Everyone has at least one story (or more) to tell. Use CoL to share yours. And if the story is not finished, when you’ve filled one journal up start another. Decide what you want to do with it when you’re done…gift it, file it, publish it, shred it or something else. If you wish, fill-in the blank “Dedication,” “Acknowledgments,” and “About the Author” sections, since you are the author. And if you prefer not to—say you just got the journal because you liked the cover—then skip those pages and use it like any other journal.

Finally, we’re super excited to announce that not only have all the covers and interiors been updated in some way, but CoL also has a new series: In Celebration of Flowers—Tulips!; and

The Celebration of Life Collection™ is ideal for writing your own book(s) or story or for use as a regular journal! Click To Tweet

GROUP 4: The Celebration of Color Collection™ (CoCLR) journals. Of all four groups, these are the closest to traditional blank journals and they include JD Dyola’s handy Thought Index™ and a Notes section. There are 7 series,  Journaling in: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet. Additionally, as with all of JD Dyola’s series you have a choice of four books, or in this case shades, which graduate from dark to light. With the exception of the Indigo series, Book 1 in each set is generally the most intense form of the color and Book 4 the lightest (this is most noticeable in the color band that holds the title).

Introducing the BEST JD Dyola Journals ❤™ yet! ⇒ AWIR–T™―The Bookworm Series

WELCOME TO JD DYOLA JOURNALS


New! AWIR–T™—The Bookworm Series

(AWIR–T™ = About What I Read…TODAY!—A Reading Companion Journal)

Hi folks, I’m delighted to introduce the best JD Dyola Journals ❤™ to date! I’ve worked feverishly to create AWIR–T™ spinoffs, for all of us who love reading and taking notes as we’re reading. So here is the first set: The Bookworm Series (BW).

AWIR–T™ = About What I Read…TODAY! Click To Tweet

Since they’re spinoffs, the new AWIR–T™ journals serve the same function as the original AWIR–T™ of the 4-T™ “for TODAY” Journal Series. The primary difference between the 4-T™ AWIR–T™ journal and these spinoffs is the complete freedom you have without any AWIR–T™ fixed sections. As I always say, “Growth requires freedom!” With these journals you have the freedom you need to be the journaling bookworm you’ve always dreamt of being.

A Brief Tour of the  AWIR–T™ Bookworm Spinoffs

Each cover image that I’ve chosen epitomizes, what I believe are, qualities of the quintessential bookworm: Volume 1, Carl Spitzweg’s famous painting “The Bookworm,”  Volume 2, Claude Raguet Hirst’s “The Bookworm’s Table,”  Volume 3, the shelves of a bookworm who also has journals tied in bundles with various books, Volume 4, a nighttime bookworm’s table.

Introducing Bubba, MY Reading Goals, & MY TOP 20 READS

Finally, I’ve introduced totally new features like the journal loving bookworm character, I call Bubba (that’s him below). You’ll be seeing him, or one of his cousins, in other  journals soon. The inner cover shows Bubba carrying a stack of 20 books. Look for him as he “walks” through the journal eager to get to is favorite reading and journaling spot. Two other features: You can set a few goals on the My Reading Goals pages; and later in the journal, list your Top 20 Reads, which could be favorite books or the most significant books that have affected your life to date, etc. I hope that you enjoy using the new journals and share your opinion with me.

JD Dyola Journals ❤™ Books for you and by YOU!™

Books in AWIR–T™—The Bookworm Series (BW) are handy tools that encourage reflection on what you read each day—whether you journal throughout the day or at the day’s end. I’ve  found that journaling while I read helps me to save ideas that I can “chew on” later in the day or distant future. 

These BW journals are available now through the CreateSpace eStore (click here to find links on the AWIR–T™—BW page). Or click one of the book images above to preview the journal on my Amazon Author Page, using the “Look inside” feature which becomes available in 3-5 business days.

As always, I appreciate your support. Thank you for reading and journaling with me!
JD

Here’s a newsflash for ya: Life is HARD! How Journaling May Help!

WELCOME TO JD DYOLA JOURNALS


Newsflash: Life is HARD!

 

Hi folks,

It’s JD from JD Dyola Journals ™ with a bit of “news”: Life is HARD!

In fact, my mother used to say, “Whenever you ask yourself: ‘Why didn’t Mom ever tell me things were going to be like this?’ Just remember, Mom didn’t know!” Then she would burst out laughing. Yes, life is also wonderful. It’s every bit worth the struggle and all that, but sometimes life is just ROUGH! In one of his famous presentations on goals,  the late great motivational speaker, Zig Ziglar, once said: “Life is not easy. Life is tough. But when you’re tough on yourself, life is going to be infinitely easier on you.” The challenges help you to grow and become stronger. One way to get through the challenging times is by journaling…

 

Life is Hard-Zig Ziglar

 

According to Experts Journaling Can Help

Susan David wrote a useful post on how journaling can help when life gets hard called You Can Write Your Way Out of an Emotional Funk. Here’s How.

Never Give Up!

A daily  journaling session can help you and me to avoid what Zig refers to as “stinkin’ thinkin’.” Sometimes, you don’t even realize how negative your thoughts are until they’re down on paper. When life gets really hard the temptation to give up on your goals might seem practical and reasonable. Don’t do it! Les Brown, another one of my favorite inspirational speakers says, “When life knocks you down, try to land on your back. Because if you can look up, you can get up. Let your reasons get you back up!” Mr. Brown suggests that you have at least five (5) reasons why you will NOT quit when your goals seem harder than ever to reach.

“When life knocks you down, try to land on your back. Because if you can look up, you can get up. Let your reasons get you back up!” —Les Brown Click To Tweet

By reflecting on the reasons that make all the hardships and disappoints worth it for YOU, you’ll be less likely to surrender. It’s great advice! Knowing your WHYs, and having not just a solitary WHY but several compelling ones, will keep you focused when someone, shall we say, “borrows” the light bulb at the end of the tunnel!

Life is Hard -Les Brown

Wishing you your best year and best journaling ever,
JD

2016 in Review—Journals Created, Promised, and Planned

WELCOME TO JD DYOLA JOURNALS


2016 brought the WIL–T™ Spinoffs & 4–H™ (4–T™ translations):

Hi folks, 2016 has been a great year for JD Dyola Journals ™, I hope it has been for you as well!

CREATED in 2016

At the beginning of the year, I wrote that I planned to introduce several new journals that essentially spring from the 4-T™ concept.  The 20 journals—4 in Spanish and 16 WIL–T™ spinoffs—that were created represent a great deal of hard work (please scroll down to view these below). They include the first translated journals for JD Dyola Journals ❤™, 4-H™, and four sets of WIL–T™ journal spinoffs.

Promised in 2016

Concerning my new concepts, they are coming along nicely. I’ve been working on multiple ideas and I look forward to releasing them.

Planned for 2017

As mentioned above, I have several journal concepts planned, including more translations and other 4-T™ spinoffs. We’ll see what 2017 brings, stay tuned…

 


Created…

The 4-H™ “por HOY” Series (4-T™ in Spanish)

LQA-H__Front CvrLQL-H__Front CvrLQEA-H_Front CvrLQALA-H_Front Cvr

As the title indicates, 4-H™ is the 4-T™ Journal Series in Spanish! Of course, 4-H™ means ‘por HOY,’ just as 4-T™ means ‘for TODAY’:

LQA-H: Lo Que Aprendí…HOY!, 4-Hen Español—Volume 1, the Spanish Edition of WIL-T: What I Learned…TODAY!

LQL-H: Sobre Lo Que Lei…HOY!, 4-H en Español—Volume 2, the Spanish Edition of AWIR-T:  About What I Read…TODAY!

LQEA-H: Lo Que Estoy Agradecido Por…HOY!, 4-H™ en Español—Volume 3, the Spanish Edition of WIG 4-T: What I’m Grateful for…TODAY! 

LQALA-H: El Diario Combinado Revista—Lo Que Aprendido, Leído Y Apreciado…HOY!, 4-H™ en Español—Volume 4, the Spanish Edition of WAW 4-T: The Combo Journal—What I Learned, Read & Appreciated…TODAY!

The WIL–T™ spinoffs above, based on Volume 1 WIL-T: What I Learned…TODAY! from the 4-T “for TODAY” Journal Series journal, give you complete freedom over your journaling sessions because the predetermined sections that were in the original WIL–T™ are not in the spin-offs. As I always say, “Growth requires freedom!(Note: While the cover choices vary, each WIL–T™ spinoff interior is basically the same.)

Additional 4-T™ spinoffs are coming soon! In fact, several are in the works based on the AWIR–T™, WIG 4–T™, WAW 4–T™ journal concepts.

More about the WIL–T™ spinoffs

WIL–T™—The Student Series, WIL-T™ —The Lifelong Learning Series, WIL–T™—The Cat Lovers Series, and WIL–T™—The Dog Lovers Series, are handy tools that encourage reflection on what you learn each day—whether you journal throughout the day or at the day’s end. Journaling as you learn can stimulate continual growth, especially if you pause periodically, to revisit the thoughts of earlier entries and review your progress.

Again, the interior is essentially the same for all the WIL–T™ books above, just choose the cover option(s) that appeals to you or the intended recipient. The books are available now through the CreateSpace eStore using the links below. You may also click the images above to preview the journal on JD Dyola’s Amazon Author Page.

WELCOME TO JD DYOLA JOURNALS


 

THE 2 NEW SPINOFF serieS off the ORIGINAL WIL–T: What I Learned…TODAY! Journal…

Hi folks, I’ve been promising more options for the 4-T™ journals, the time has finally arrived and I’m so excited! The two new series released today are spinoffs of the WIL–T™ journal;  I think they’re fabulous and I hope you will also!

The new WIL–T™ series have the same goal. The primary difference between the original WIL–T™ journal and these spinoffs is that the predetermined sections that were in the original WIL–T™ are not in the spin-offs, so you have complete freedom over your journaling sessions. As I always say, “Growth requires freedom!” (Note: The interior is the same for both new series, just choose the cover option that suits you most.) Additional 4-T™ spinoffs are on the way, a few more based on the updated WIL–T™ format published today, and several options are also in the works for the AWIR–T™, WIG 4–T™, WAW 4–T™ journal concepts.

More about the spinoffs:

WIL–T™—The Student Series & WIL–T™—The Lifelong Learning Series

The books in both series, WIL–T™—The Student Series and WIL-T™ —The Lifelong Learning Series, are handy tools that encourage reflection on what you learn each day—whether you journal throughout the day or at the day’s end. Journaling as you learn can stimulate continual growth, especially if you pause periodically, to revisit the thoughts of earlier entries and review your progress.

Again, the interior is the same for both series, just choose the cover option(s) that you like. According to Amazon, they should be available on my Author Page in 3-5 business days. Er, did I mention my excitement?! In honor of the wonderful occasion all the new journals are $10.16 (i.e., October 2016), a Special Introductory Price that’s more than 20% off the price of the original 4-T journals! Enjoy! (The introductory price has now expired.)

Happy journaling!
JD
