About this app

I became a first time father right as lock downs were happening across the world. It was a difficult time to adjust to so many life changes at once. I reached a breaking point about halfway through that first year and was taken to the ER for self-inflicted wounds. Since that time I decided that I wanted to help new dads be the dads that they want to be.

Recently begun to dive deep into spiritual learning, therapy, inner child healing, and general mindfulness. Part of that process has involved a lot of writing and journaling and reflection. I started by training myself to write whenever I sense my mind starting to wander. That then turned into a daily practice of writing down my thoughts and feelings.

The problem I started to run into was that I was writing in a lot of different places. I had a journal, a Notion notebook, Google Docs, and a few other places where I was writing. I wanted to consolidate all of that into one place, and I wanted to be able to share it with others, and share my wisdom with Lucy as she grows up.

That's where Bonjournl comes in; I initially wanted a place where I could share learned wisdom with Lucy as she gets older. We share the same birthday she is exactly 28 years younger than me. What do I want her to know about me, about herself, about the world, when she turns 28? The problem I have with most social media or blogging platforms is that they are not designed for long form writing. They are also not designed to be shared in the long term future. Those were problems I wanted to solve with Bonjournl.

Features that set Bonjournl apart:

Landing Page is a blank slate writing area that resets every day.

Daily writing prompts (taken from A Year of Spiritual Awakening by Bela Divine).
