Journal effortlessly without second-guessing
And that’s exactly why I started My Not So Secret Journal Club. I know you’ve spent hours scrolling for inspiration and stared at a blank page overthinking what to write.
All you really want is for journaling to help you move forward in life. But this method isn't working. I know, because I’ve been there.
That’s why my snail mail club delivers prompts that give you a clear starting point. Each month a new theme helps you reflect, explore, and take action.
The prompts make journaling fun, easy and helpful. You'll write with confidence, focus and purpose whenever you feel like it. Even if you’ve never kept a journal before.
From now on, journaling actually moves you forward, towards a life that reflects your personality and what truly matters to you.
Not just snail mail
Build your own journal prompt deck
I designed ‘My Not So Secret Journal Club’ to be more than just snail mail. It’s a growing collection of journal prompt cards. Over time, you’ll create your own deck of prompt cards to pull from whenever you need them.
The prompts will help you discover, reflect and muse. They’ll help you vent, find clarity and take action. Sometimes they’ll make you laugh, or give you a fresh insight you hadn’t considered before.
I am not just sending you snail mail. I am sending you journal prompt cards, gifts and encouraging letters you can pull inspiration from for years to come.
Want your secret snail mail on time? Subscribe by the 10th!
🗒️ My True Life paper quality
The paper I selected for the prompt cards is (ECF) and OBA-free. This makes the paper highly resistant to yellowing and deterioration over time. Perfect for long-term archiving your journal prompt cards for years to come.
📏 A6 prompt postcards
The My True Life prompt cards are A6 size, measuring 5.8 x 4.1 inches (105 x 148 mm). Your postcard arrives in a pretty envelope to prevent the design and the gift inside from getting damaged.
🎁 Monthly gifts
You'll receive a monthly gift that matches the prompt theme like a sticker, a photo, ephemera or a goodie from an artist I'm collaborating with. You also get free access to our online clubhouse as long as your subscription is active.
Sneak peek: The November 2025 edition
The style for this snail mail edition is positive pastel. Perfect for everyone who loves a touch of cuteness during the fall. The journal theme is 'reflecting on 2025', inspired by our motto: 'Live your True Life'.
