I recently stayed at my brother's house and picked up an issue of National Geographic and read an article titled, Are We Born to Wander? By author and speaker, Eric Weiner. I loved reading his thoughts on travel and decided I wanted to share some of my own go-see-do AND learn experiences in today's episode. I started by opening my Notes app and adding to list I started last year of ALL the places I've been. Next to each I want to briefly describe an experience or take away from my time there. Of course anyone can do this, but most people never will. I get it. We're busy. But I also believe there are ways to document—even personal ways—that can be worked into the busiest of days. At the end of the episode I'm inviting you to join me for a NEW online class, called Quick Trip Travel (so stay tuned). So, as I was doing a little digging for an opening song, I came across Brenda Tharp, her photography and blog. I loved this from her …Changes in latitude, changes in attitude … I have always loved that phrase in Jimmy Buffet's popular song. When we move about the country or world, the changes in our latitude bring about changes in our attitude. How could they not? We are experiencing new scenery, new ways the light illuminates the land, possibly new birds and animals. We are meeting new people, having fresh experiences, and I don't know about you, but this always opens my heart and soul to see and appreciate the places I visit.Look more about Brenda and her work here:Outdoor Photographer & BloggerMy opportunities to travel a bit—both inside the United States and abroad—have changed me. What I have seen has amazed me and often challenged my thinking. People and cities and museums and historical sites help me shape new thoughts and beliefs. I've stood in Trafalgar Square and at the foot of the Lincoln Memorial. I've sat in the shade of the Golden Temple in Kyoto, Japan and I've been in Nelson Mandela's house in Soweto, South Africa. I've floated a river in Belize that winds through dark caves and jungle. It doesn't really matter where I go or what I do. Each time and in every place I understand more clearly all that I do NOT know, and as counterintuitive as it sounds, I really like that. This is the main reason I still want to go. Especially after a pandemic that has threatened our wanderings. I've admired too many people and cultures that I had previously only known in text books or on Wikipedia pages and I'm simply not done learning about and exploring this BIG, strange, beautiful and inspiring world that we live in. “Travel is not a rational activity. It makes no sense to squeeze yourself into an alleged seat only to be hurled at frightening speed to a distant place where you don't speak the language or know the customs. All at great expense. If we stopped to do the cost-benefit analysis, we'd never go anywhere. And yet we do. ” — Eric Weiner My hope is that something I share today will inspire you to plan a trip—to the lake, to a national monument or park or to a new country halfway across the world.

I’ve always felt like memory keeping is more of a lifestyle than a hobby. Today’s micro show is about easy things you can do to support your desire to document life even as you are living it. “Life is nothing more than a stream of experiences, the more widely and deeply you swim in it, the richer your life will be. ” — Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi I’ll share FIVE things I’ve done recently that are “scrapbook-y” …Engage intentionally with children, family members and friends in small pockets of time. While driving last week, Addie and I paired words to a familiar tune to create a song for our little Audrey. Since then, Addie has been practicing on the piano. ✂️ TIP: When running errands in the car, split the drive time up so that you have time to interact with fellow passengers AND relax while listening to music or podcasts. Kids will learn to anticipate both aspects of drive time and you’ll create memorable moments together. Use a Notes app to capture details and descriptions about the things you’ve been experiencing. I did this on a morning walk last week when I used the built-in microphone to dictate my first-ever experience with rolled ice-cream! ✂️TIP: Use technology and tools on the go as often as you can to capture—not only photos—but names, dates and sensory details that help you write about experiences so they can become memories in your scrapbooks. Digitize older prints and documents with your smart phone in small batches. Most of us have boxes of older prints and memorabilia that need our attention and that feels overwhelming, but tackling these collections a little here and a little there is the answer! ✂️TIP: Place an older print or document on a flat surface in natural (indirect) light and take a photo. Then use an editing app—like PicTapGo—to straighten, crop and restore color. You won’t believe how EASY it is to bring precious bits of your past into your current digital library. Take photos of YOU doing the things you enjoy doing. It’s so important to notice tasks, activities and daily efforts that you enjoy or excel at and THEN ask someone to photograph you. If you’re the memory keeper you’re likely not used to being in front of the camera and yet the story you are most qualified to tell is your story and you’re going to need great images to work with. ✂️TIP: Ask a spouse, child, friend or even a neighbor to take your photo OR (again) take advantage of technology that we so often underutilize. Did you know that you can use the Camera Remote app on an Apple Watch to capture photos of you at a distance? Here are the step-by-step directions! Start using unique hashtags in your social sharing to tag photos and posts for easy search. Anytime you publish details about a person, place or thing you care about on Facebook or Instagram add a unique hashtag in the caption. ✂️TIP: I simply string full names together (first name + middle or maiden name + last name) as a like #stacyhalljulian and add these to posts. Then you can either click on these personal tags to pull up additional content OR use the search tool to find all instances in your social sharing when these tags have been applied. Just make sure your tags are unique to you!My guess is that YOU are already doing some of these things and that more than anything you need to recognize daily efforts as being essential and important in your process. You are likely doing better than you think you are. Let go of crazy expectations and celebrate ALL that you do to more fully experience and appreciate life. ❤️ I share a SpeakPipe message that Allison Horn sent, so she’ll be receiving a StoryStarter kit from the Story by Stacy line at Close To My Heart.

Today’s micro episode is about spring and cold sores and the opportunity we have to be more present and more appreciative as things change. Life is full of contrasts and even when we don’t always anticipate or welcome them, they teach us and can help us focus on what’s most essential and important. “Put light against light — you have nothing. Put dark against dark — you have nothing. It’s the contrast of light and dark that each give the other one meaning.” — Bob Ross Honestly, two more days and this would have come together better—but remember that episode on perfectly imperfect? Here we go again. I’m off to Utah later this week, so I’ve been primarily focused on preparations for that trip. I’m filming a Story by Stacy class about documenting this pandemic and I’m so grateful for this assignment at this time, because as I’ve looked back and remembered I’m more aware of the subtle ways that life is moving to a new normal and I don’t want to miss it. I don’t want this experience to escape my personal examination—I want to make sense of a few more things in my own head and that requires paying attention to and exploring to understand the many contrasts we’ve been a part of over the last 12 months. I walk away from my first-ever pandemic not with just facts and stories, but also with some wisdom. And I know from scripture that kind of progression requires contrast (or opposition). Contrast improves art and it enhances life. ❤️ A huge shout out and Story Starter goes out to Olivia Sharp for sending my a SpeakPipe. I’m grateful for Close To My Heart who sponsors me in this way!

Today’s micro-show is an opportunity to recognize rituals in your life. Everybody who has watched the long-running children’s show, Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood—at least twice—knows what Mr. Rogers does when he walks into his house. This is because what Mr. Rogers does is the SAME every single show. Have you ever wondered WHY? What Mr. Rogers does is a powerful example of a ritual … A ritual is a sequence of activities involving gestures, words, actions, or objects, performed in a sequestered place and according to a set sequence. Rituals may be prescribed by the traditions of a family, community, or religious observation or worship. Rituals are a feature of all known human societies. In exploring the whys and hows of rituals, I found and enjoyed this article by Penny Ward—and shared this portion in the show: Rituals are a meaningful and mindful way of connecting with your energy with focused attention and intention. Through rituals, you are giving yourself permission to create the time and space to connect the reality of life with your inner energy, your intuition, your passions and aspirations.Rituals can be powerful, meaningful and symbolic. In contrast to a routine which is a simple action. The primary difference is the mindset and attitude behind the action.I absolutely believe in the power of same—especially as we navigate an ever more hectic and frantic world. I have drawn so much strength and focus from my morning ritual and I love and enthusiastically recommend the commandment to observe and keep the Sabbath Day holy—as a day of rest and renewal. ✅ An rituals can be silly reminders and messages to our brains that help prepare us for necessary and important tasks—like with John Acuff dons his bright green running shoes to … sit down and write!IF you’re needing more from your daily routine, I invite you to approach even mundane tasks with ritualistic behaviors that will bring more intention and awareness to your day and your life—this is always a good thing!As always, I’d LOVE to hear your thoughts—and when you subscribe to Exactly Enough Time, the two of us could create a Thursday morning ritual ❤️A huge shout out to Stephanie Smokovich and Kim McArthur for sending me SpeakPipe messages.

Click HERE to read more about Chari in her own words! My guest today is Chari Pack. She’s persnickety—a term that can be used to describe a particularly precise or careful approach—in this case with printing digital images and servicing customers. Chari is the owner of Persnickety Prints, based in Orem, Utah and she has developed a process for printing photos that produces beautiful and archival results. Chari has been a memory keeper and journal enthusiast for as long as she can remember and she is passionate about helping others print digital images in beautiful and lasting ways so that they can literally put their hands on their pictures and enjoy and share them. Click HERE to learn more about the Covid Journal I have long admired Chari, her passion and her drive as an entrepreneur and business owner, but the reason she is on my show today is because of what she has been working on (for years) that she is finally unveiling and celebrating in a public way. It’s called Persnickety Box and for me—and many others—it’s a much needed (subscription based) print solution that can help you routinely print AND then do something with some of your photos. I am using and currently promoting the Persnickety Box app to hundreds of students in my Photo Freedom 2021 course. I’ve even created a workflow pad that suggests Persnickety Box as a recommended step in an effective digital workflow. “A photo that isn’t printed is like a script that is never performed, or a musical composition that is never played. There is still value in the digital photo, just as there is value in a script or musical composition. But the value is mainly the hope that one day the digital photo will be printed and share a bodily life with us – to inspire us, cheer us, and remind us.” — Mat Coker I’m so excited for YOU to learn more about and from Chari and for you to consider Persnickety Box as an ongoing way for you to print and preserve some of your most favorite memories. Download Persnickety Box on the App Store or on Google Play.NOTE: The official Persnickety Box launch party is happening on Sunday, March 7th at 6:00PM MST, you can learn more about it and RSVP here. AND, Yes … 4x4 prints that come in Persnickety Box are perfect for my Story Starter albums with Close To My Heart! In fact, Close To My Heart has created two additional 4x4 albums especially for Persnickety Box prints—in white and blue! IDEA: I am using this album to create an easy print archive for important events in my family history. For example, I used Persnickety Box to print 30 images from my son’s wedding. I then slipped these prints into a white 4x4 album and added a small photo to the front and one page of identifying information to the inside. Super SIMPLE, accessible documenting done right! I LOVE Persnickety Box so much I printed it on the workflow pad that I teach (and sell here!)

In part 2 of my conversation with my brother, Theron, he starts out with a funny analogy imagining one of those drug commercials touting the benefits of a fill-in-the-blank medication. These clips always show people enjoying nature, family gatherings and quiet evenings preparing healthy food and reading together and seem to end with the same invitation: Ask your doctor if blank medication is right for you! Now imagine, says Theron that the medicine is exercise and you ask your doctor if it might be exactly what you need—the answer is a resounding YES. There isn’t a physician on the planet that wouldn’t recommend an appropriate and consistent exercise regimen for a patient, regardless of what ails them. Exercise is powerful medicine!Here are just a few of the proven benefits of regular exercise …Lowers blood pressureImproves moodIncreases bone densityHelps you sleep betterBenefits self esteem and mental well-beingImproves brain health And the best news of all lies in the minimal effective dose—it’s very little. In other words you don’t have to hit the gym for 45 minutes a day 4 to 5 days a week to see and FEEL the positive effects of exercise in your life. THIS is the photo I promised to share, with me watching my mom (in 1969) exercise to Jack LaLane! Listen and learn about the importance of a balanced approach to exercise that includes flexibility and agility, cardiovascular/aerobic and resistance or strength training. Especially as we age, we need to make sure we are moving in the ways that will best help us navigate the challenges and risks of midlife and beyond! Just for fun, THIS photo of Theron cracks me up. He has just disembarked a cruise ship—what do you think the guy looking at him is thinking, or would say? Theron mentioned a study out of Rutgers that helped us better understand the measurable results of resistance training in elderly women. Click HERE for more information. I am loving the TRX suspension trainer. I have had one for a couple of years now and I use it 3 to 4 times a week for about 15 minutes. TRX is all about using your body as your weight machine—it’s something that doesn’t take a lot of room or expensive equipment. Click HERE to learn more!AND, my favorite resistance routine is one that I learned from The Happy Body. I highly recommend this book and the information inside. I’m a bigger fan of their approach to exercise than diet, but both are sound and can help you get started on a healthier path. I started today’s episode with Jack Lalane—American fitness pioneer who lived 96 active years and taught millions of people (especially women) in their homes how to eat better and move to feel and look better.

IF you can take all the subject words in the English language and divide them up into 3 easy categories, you can certainly use those same categories to bring order to your photos and your stories. This episode attempts to explain why I ask every guest I interview an iteration of the question: Who, Where or What has your attention right now? Sometimes, it sounds more like this: Tell me about a person, place or thing that you are focused on right now? Regardless of how I ask it, one of the reasons I pose this question is to illustrate just how universal these categories are. Anyone can speak to them, personalize them and use them to tell a story. Within just a few years of discovering scrapbooking, I was overwhelmed and frustrated. Mostly by default paradigms and self-imposed rules—I felt behind and intimidated by what I had signed myself up to do. Gratefully, a conversation with my mother helped me understand what I truly wanted to accomplish with my passion for photos and stories. Not long after that, an idea presented itself and I started to formulate a solution to my problem. Before too long, I had launched a website where I was able to teach “my system” online—I called that class, A Library of Memories. I have never looked back. In the episode I also share FIVE ways to use these categories to simplify your documenting. Make a people, places and things list for any current story you’re experiencing. Take this Covid-19 pandemic were navigating. Making a people, places and things list in these categories will help you track details even before you’re ready to fully process emotions or write down thoughts. Use these categories to help you photograph an event. Thinking ahead of time about the specific types of people, places and things pictures you want to take will empower in the direction of happy photo-journalist. Use these categories to help you write more interesting letters or journal entries over time. Set up albums in the photos app on your smart phone—one for each of the categories, Us, People, Places and Things. Curating digital images in this way will help you discover connections and unique storylines over time. Catch up with your scrapbooks. Nevermind that you don’t have an annual album since 2005 (or 2017) it doesn’t matter. Just start telling people, places and things stories and put these pages/stories together in People, Places and Things albums. This single most liberating move will change the way you see your life and tell your stories—in very positive ways! “With chronology you are relinquishing your role as storyteller and giving the power, to the calendar. The calendar can only take you so far because it only knows when the photo was taken—But, YOU as a storyteller know that that photo you took five years ago has everything to do with the picture you snapped five minutes ago. When you take back your role as storyteller you are in the driver seat of your memories—and what they mean! You can draw connections that create generosity and abundance in your life and your past. As a storyteller it’s easier for you to discern which photos have meaning over time! ” — Stacy Julian Thanks to Barbara Streisand, The Beatles and Bobby Darin for my intro songs!❤️ I want to thank Barbara Hardage for sending in a SpeakPipe message.

It all depends on whether we choose to be CURIOUS, or as Steve Jobs puts it, “Stay Hungry!” “Curiosity is the cure for boredom. There is no cure for curiosity!” — Ellen Parr If you want to learn more about the phases of creative growth and where and why we sometimes feel stuck, I recommend chapter 3 of Todd Henry’s book, Louder Than Words On his website, Accidental Creative, Todd writes about where we get stuck and what to do about it and says that both imitation (emulation) and crisis are extra tricky phases because they both represent a point of decision where you can remain doing what you’re doing—with the skills you’ve acquired, OR you can take a leap and begin something—either a more personal iteration of what you already do well—by diverging or an even bigger jump into something related but NEW. Moving into and through these phases can feel scary, because they represent uncharted territory with no guarantees. These phases require vulnerability and that special mix of humility and confidence, but both move you forward and result in growth. I can’t tell you how often I have used these ideas in my own head to help me identify where I am and where I want to go next. I’m so grateful to my listeners—and a special thanks this week to Paige Sellers, who sent me a SpeakPipe message. She will receive a Story Starter kit from Close To My Heart ❤️.Next week, I’ll be teaching at RootsTech in Salt Lake City, Utah.

This episode is a peek into the presentation I gave last week at the annual Close To My Heart convention. It is also an overview of the Story by Stacy products currently available and the storytelling skills they teach. I share an experience I had recently on a road trip to Glacier National Park, that illustrates what my passions for scrapbooking and storytelling have added to my life—but I'm not giving you that here. For that, you'll have to listen!
