About Us

It was in response to a need that Personal Ponderings was created. Michelle had been a dedicated journal writer for most of her life. She didn't just keep one kind of journal either. In the fall of 2004 she had four different journals going. Two of these journals were of her own creation and were made of 8 1/2 x 11 binders with alphabetical tabs as well as index tabs. She created these journals because she experienced frustration when she wrote in blank pages of already bound books.

The problem was, she could never keep things organized. Her great quotes would eventually run into her daily diary and then the book would run out and she would have to start all over with a great quotes section. Maybe she should just buy a different journal all together for quotes, but how could she find the quote she wanted without looking through the entire journal. Because of this constant frustration, she developed systems of organization in 8 1/2 x 11 binders. She enjoyed them so much that she decided the system ought to be made available to all people.

Michelle surrounded herself with the best team she could find which also happened to be her favorite people in all the world. Personal Ponderings is a family owned, family run business. Being a family dedicated to scholarship, enjoying reading as a favorite pastime and with most of the family members engaged in writing about the things they thought, read, and did in life; they were happy to join her in creating quality journals. Because of our contiuing focus on education and learning, we have been able to see that the journals provide a way of raising the scholarly level of all people which will promote quality of life. Additionally, we believe journaling to be of great value to the individuals well being as it provides a tool for healing, relief of stressful situations, and encourages self-esteem, self-respect, confidence and understanding beyond the conscious levels of thought.

We officially became a company in September of 2005 and are striving as all small businesses do to be the best we can be and offer a product that will be high quality,easy to use, and of great value to those who use it. We hope you enjoy the Personal Ponderings journaling systems.
