Author's unique journaling book
a hit with
elementary girls, boys
by Ralph Bell
Thursday, Jan 31, 2008 -- About three-and-a-half years ago, while digging through her “childhood boxes of memories,” St. Cloud native Jill Schoenberg came across some diaries she had written as a kid.
“I suddenly realized how much value there is in journaling,” she said. “There's so much going on in life, we tend to forget all this great stuff that happens to us. Finding those childhood diaries really showed me how valuable journaling is as a tool for realizing our growth, realizing how far we've come.”

Review
Unfortunately for Schoenberg, the intrigue ended all too quickly. None of the diaries were complete,” she said. “There were only a few entries in each one
Why was that? Schoenberg wondered. Why, like so many other people, did she start a journal with great enthusiasm and all the intention in the world of keeping at it, then months later find the keepsake laying on her bookshelf, covered in dust?
Perhaps, she thought, the number one barrier to journaling was a preconceived, stereotypical notion of what the activity actually is. And once Schoenberg began to think outside the box, her wheels began to turn, fate set in and Journal Buddies was born.
First published in 2005 to appeal to 7- to 12-year-olds, Journal Buddies is a simple but powerful tool touted by educators and parents as a way to strengthen a child's self-esteem, build healthy relationships and create a positive outlook on life.
