"I just got my Standard of Grace Guided journal in the mail. It's a beautiful book, and would look really pretty sitting on my bookshelf. However, I'm really disappointed in the journals content. I was so excited for this, but actually flipping through the pages, I realize that there's at least one picture (sometimes two) of Emily and/or her family and/or her home and/or her business for every weeks entry. Every week. I know that her books are full of pictures as well, which honestly they don't bother me TOO much. And don't get me wrong, the pictures are beautiful, and some of them stand out as a great illustration of that week's entry. But for a journal that is supposed to help us dig into OUR OWN lives and OUR OWN hearts and go deep and really do the hard work for our own selves, there sure is a LOOOOOOOT of Emily that you'll have to look at while you're doing that. Emily Ley does a lot of things AMAZINGLY. I love most of her products. The Simplified Planner has helped me SO much, and her books are full of a lot of truths that I think more people should live their lives by. But this guided journal. It just really missed the mark for me. 😞"

- I just got my Standard of Grace Guided journal in the mail. It's a beautiful book, and would look really pretty sitting on my bookshelf. However, I'm really disappointed in the journals content. I was so excited for this, but actually flipping through the pages, I realize that there's at least one picture (sometimes two) of Emily and/or her family and/or her home and/or her business for every weeks entry. Every week. I know that her books are full of pictures as well, which honestly they don't bother me TOO much. And don't get me wrong, the pictures are beautiful, and some of them stand out as a great illustration of that week's entry. But for a journal that is supposed to help us dig into OUR OWN lives and OUR OWN hearts and go deep and really do the hard work for our own selves, there sure is a LOOOOOOOT of Emily that you'll have to look at while you're doing that. Emily Ley does a lot of things AMAZINGLY. I love most of her products. The Simplified Planner has helped me SO much, and her books are full of a lot of truths that I think more people should live their lives by. But this guided journal. It just really missed the mark for me. 😞
- Let me say, I'm a fan of Emily Ley and her message of simplification. A Simplified Life was the catalyst of so much good in my life and I swear by her planner, however this journal woefully missed the mark. There's something so off by asking people to dig deep and do internal reflecting with a picture of your life plastered on every page. The first prompt is "How did you get the idea that you had to be 'put together' in all aspects of life?†And then it's immediately followed by photoshopped, curated, perfect book-worthy photos. To be clear, I know this isn't entirely reflective of her life the same way I know social media is a highlight reel. I don't struggle with feeling like she's inauthentic. I just feel like it's marketing gone wrong. I get it. She's a brand now. In many ways her life[style] is her brand. But to have a header of "Life can messy but the mess is worth it" with a barely crumpled bed comforter and 3 immaculate children - one with her hair bow perfectly in tact - strikes me as tone deaf. Some photos make sense. Others just... don't. A journal encouraging women to get to their gut truth of their life need not be a photobook of yours. White space would've been so welcomed here.
- The journal questions are unique and thought-provoking. See also Emily's coaching via Instagram Lives.
- I was really pretty hopeful when I first heard about this journal and was able to pick one up at Target when they first released there. I was disappointed though with the number of pictures of Emily and her family. Don't get me wrong - I'm a huge fan of Emily and it's so fun to see how her family is growing. This journal is supposed to be about me and my journey though and it feels more like a story about Emily and her family. The pictures are just really distracting for me and I haven't managed to stick with it. I wish they would just release a journal with lined pages and their signature covers. Something like the weekly notes pages. This journal just won't do it do it for me but hopefully it will be helpful for someone else.
- So many guided journals have been released lately. This one is stunning, in typical Emily Ley fashion. Everything from the page layout to the multiple ribbons to hold your place to the colors. The purpose of this journal is to give a starting place to simplify in order to bring grace and peace to your home. Emily Ley wants to partner with the reader to nurture dreams, discover hopes and pay attention. It has quotes, journaling prompts with plenty of space to write answers and such great encouragement. In fact, the book starts with Emily sharing the reason behind the multiple ribbons - this guided journal is supposed to be a journey, including stops, starts and times when you might double back. I've never seen a journal like that before.
Like all guided journals, you're going to get what you put into answering each prompt. I thought the prompts were good. Some more challenging than others, but that might be because of what's going on in my life know or what books I've recently read or even what topics I've processed in the last year. If you're willing to be honest, vulnerable and dig deep on these pages, I think you'll greatly enjoy this guided journal. Disclaimer I got a copy of this journal in exchange for posting my honest thoughts.
