The Autograph Book- A timeless Classic of memories and dreams



Many people throughout their lives start an autograph book—possibly begun in high school when our classmates wrote in the school yearbook the sayings of comic or thoughtful prose. In time, this book may have become a scrapbook of sorts—containing all our dreams, wishes,---a hidden childhood treasure trove..
For some, the autograph book evolved into a leather bond engraved book with the prestigious title Autographs in gold leaf script on the padded cover with heavy styled, expensively bond and scented paper within its folds.

Through the years, we became more selective about whom we would let write in our book of dreams, and wishes... only the kindred spirits of our hearts were allowed to enter this sacred world.

Other times we might if they were our kindred spirit- one whom as Anne of Green Gables would say- share our inner most secrets to the depths of our soul with—they could draw an image, script a verse of prose or write a few lyrics of a song that resonated with them and ourselves.

Other people might have even allowed their pets to stamp their paws on these pages of their lives. A furry creatures paw print that could speak more than words would be created and revered for all time.


Written motivational messages from family of years gone by, such as grandparents could be stored within this treasure of memories.. Such message would be a living vibrant testament of our heritance and of the paths they took to help create the current one we now walk before us..

So I now ask where is your Autograph Book now and how are you using it.

As a writer of a one-of-a-kind journaling workbook “ A Year in Serendipity” http://

attainment, I have come to experience first-hand some of the unique insights
regarding how to use scrapbooking in both my professional and spiritual life.

There are some very wonderful and inspiring practical reasons for scrapbooking.

Yes, indeed, it can be a multifaceted technique/approach to career and life management and planning. For example, it can be applied in journalling, in autobiographies, diaries and even as a professional career portfolio/webfolio/ blog.

Scrapbooking, in a life skills sense, can be employed to focus on motivating and
inspiring moments , and even to retrace a journey to life transforming/ life –changing moment(s). For instance, you can immortalize a pictorial of a significant historical event you were involved in , or an episode of spiritual enlightenment and of personal achievement that changed your life forever.



Scrapbooking can be one way to figure out who you used to be, how you got to be who you are today, while at the same , rediscovering the journey of the spirit that got you there. You can also reflect on the synchronicity of the journey and your Serendipity quotient development through this activity.

The possibilities for its uses and benefits for your spiritual development are limitless.
