Soul Gardening Journal is a paper journal written by women, for women, printed and stamped and sent with prayers, bringing to your mailbox handmade beauty. The journals are small enough to be tucked into a purse or diaper bag so they can be held and read while nursing a child, sitting in a waiting room, or sipping some tea. Journal pages are filled with poems, prayers, short engaging articles, original artwork and simple reflections from women across the globe. We invite all women of good will to be a part of this community. While this is a Catholic space, this is an open door of hospitality which is at the heart of Woman. We celebrate the value, dignity and uniqueness of Woman, made by God. We are a small group of Catholic artists who feel the call to unplug and live our lives a little more slowly and intentionally, nourishing the relationships and the reality before us in our immediate lives. We believe in the sacredness to be found in the everyday and in the power of making our lives a living prayer.
