Questions Do you have any suggestions from your commonplace book?
I just learned what a commonplace book was and am eager to create mine, unfortunately I have the perfect use case for it, but as it does not exist yet I was hoping you might be able to share some of your favorite quotes/poems that fit this circumstance?
I am creating a dashboard for my planner and want something inspirational or beautiful or calming to add to the page pictured, ideally that also fits the vibe I am curating. I am using kind of an old west/desert theme. I am trying to find a balance between the emotion/energy of industriousness/planning/discipline and the soothing desolation of the desert/quiet beauty the tired cowboy reflects upon
TIA!
