Art and Journals
A Creative Combination!Grow Through What You Go Through…
My art has been referred to as “Subliminal Coaching” given all the layers of messages, images, words, paint, paper, and objects, all designed to inspire, empower, encourage reflection and provide a space to voice it. Now, imagine all of this goodness on the cover of a journal!

Now on my THIRD Journal, I’ve loved EVERY SINGLE PAGE! Sometimes I find myself trying not to write as much so that the journal lasts longer! Instead, I just cut the cover off and frame it to continue to be inspired by the art!

I have several of Joan’s journals & they all have a special purpose. The original journal that she made especially for me contains paper without lines giving me the freedom to use it for vision boarding or drawing. I have 4 other journals to capture my thoughts on life.

Inspired by the beautiful original art work of Joan Jakel on the cover, I love exploring the simple blessings of each day and capturing them in my journal.

Journal writing helps me become happier, creative, and more productive. My journal helps me organize my thoughts and reflect on my goals and objectives. I love using journals created by Joan Jakel because the covers are filled with inspiration. They dare me to dream big, follow my instincts, and trust my crazy ideas. The journals fit in my purse, and I take them everywhere I go.

My Joan Jakel custom journal is my constant companion on my exhilarating journeys in my business and life. Just looking at it makes me happy and I love using it as my special place to flesh out big ideas or doodle life’s latest inspiration.

I need a journal to be beautiful and inspiring, flexible and fun. Joan’s journals are that and more. They make wonderful gifts too!
“Be brave enough to live creatively. The creative is the place where no one else has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you will discover will be wonderful: Yourself.”
~Alan Alda
Creativity is so much more than painting or drawing – it’s a connection to yourself at a deeper level, the level of wisdom and authentic power. Creativity has helped me discover my true self. It has also richly connected me with life and given me an innovative way to find answers to my business and personal questions.
During Covid, one of my Covid projects was to creatively figure out how to use my existing art in more impactful ways and have a bigger reach to inspire and delight.
As a certified Intentional Creativity teacher, I engaged in my own Intentional Creativity process to find the answer. First, I dropped into my heart for guidance on how I could meaningfully use what I’d already created in new and different ways. Next, I accessed my creative right brain for options before tapping my left brain to analyze the options and add structure. The amazing result: become a self-published author on Amazon and create journals with my collage art on the cover.
Through my Intentional Creativity process, I combined two of my loves – collages and journaling. My collage art is designed to empower, inspire and fuel the soul to passionately ignite exploration and self-discovery. What better way to capture the journey, discoveries and possibilities than in a journal!
The result – 24 journals with my art on the cover, all self-published on Amazon!

What Will You Create Journal
So Let Me Ask You…
Do you love to journal, have a running to-do list you love checking off, or need a place to gather your thoughts?
Do you have discerning taste and don’t want just any notebook? Of course you want a notebook that feels good, inspires you and beckons you to pick it up and use it!
Do you love giving unique gifts to the people in your life to make them squeal with delight?
Then my journals are the perfect treat just for you!
I’ve created 24 journals, each features a piece of my art on the cover. The journals have 120 college ruled lined pages (60 sheets, front and back). The college lined pages are perfect for pens, pencils, markers, or whatever creative tool captures your reflections and desires.
The journals are a popular small size format, 6” x 9”, so they fit easily in your purse, backpack or bag. They are ideal to capture those moments when inspiration strikes, you need a reminder to get out of your head and onto paper, create that to-do list on the fly – the possibilities are endless!
The cover is a soft matte finish that feels luxurious to the touch.
The journal is a perfect gift to yourself, for friends, family, clients, or that special person you want to encourage on the path of self-discovery.
