What do you need to reflect on in the practices of diversity, equity, and inclusion? Energy exists to forgive, reduce challenges, generate awareness, and ask for the opportunity to do better. Leverage this journal to develop the discipline to pause, be still, and create space. You’ll notice there are no formal prompts in this journal and this is intentional. Prompts point you in a particular direction of thought while these illustrated quotes are meant to access or open up space for ideas and new thoughts. After all, art speaks where words do not.

If the authors could speak to their younger, overwhelmed, and confused selves, they would strongly encourage one another to spend some time with a journal just like this to capture the whole story of where their journeys began. As history sometimes shows us, it’s easier to recall all the rough spots, one-sided conversations, and negative moments in painful detail, and overlook those moments of growth where something magical or tiny-but-significant happened instead. Finding our way to college and careers should hopefully not be a tragic tale, but instead a story of ups and downs with heroic (true or imagined) feats along the way. What if that path is filled with surprises and not all challenges or difficulties? What if the events along the way can be so powerful that they influence the next five to six decades of your life? Let’s go write about that!

A very special note about an Autumn Journal issue from the author and illustrator:
“Day 564. How we handle our mistakes is how we’ll be remembered.
The color version of my fall journal arrived yesterday. My good friend dropped off the boxes, we carried them inside, and then we toasted to how much joy this project brings us.
A short while later while sitting in my office, I held all four seasons in my hand and noticed something wrong on the spine of the latest journal. Look closely at the picture below. Instead of saying, “90 Days To Write Your Way to Winter: the Autumn Journal” it said Autumn (again).
For a brief moment, I was not sure what to do. I entertained some disappointment, but then something really amazing happened. I fully embraced my mistake.
Some will say, “Wade, I would not have noticed unless you told me.” To which I would reply, “There is a lesson in this though.”
I’ve been drawing daily quotes for 18 months. You have seen proverbs from all over the world, quotes from famous people in history, and most importantly, reminders to go easy on yourself.
When your buy your journal (hint hint), turn to these pages and you’ll find:
pg 20 – The world does not reward perfectionists. It rewards people who get things done.
spg 106 – Shame says that because I am flawed, I am unacceptable. Grace says that though I am flawed, I am cherished.
pg 136 – If you wished to be loved, show more of your faults than your virtues.
pg 164 – To be creative, lose the fear of being wrong.
pg 172 – Never confuse a single defeat with a final defeat.
pg 176 – I will hold myself to a standard of grace.
As you can see, I’ve been preparing for this challenge from the very beginning. I could not have said or written this 563 days ago because I hadn’t grown or reflected enough. Somewhere along the way I messed up because WE ARE SUPPOSED TO MESS UP.
So bring me your flaws. Put them down in a place that is safe so you can let yourself off the hook. Be exactly who you are publicly and privately otherwise it’s going to catch up to you one way or the other.
I’ve already enhanced your journal a bit with a few extra pen strokes and now it’s your turn to see who you really are.“
-Wade Forbes
