A Life Well Lived Starts In The Everyday

A journal about wellness, life, faith, adventure, and learning to take better care of ourselves along the way.

A camping scene with a table covered by a colorful striped cloth, placed outdoors in a wooded area with tall trees in the background. The table has a large pitcher of water and some plates. There is a small grill with a lid on the ground in front of the table, and a blue thermos and a small black container nearby. Sunlight filters through the trees.

From the Journal, to You

A little note from me to you — monthly reflections, wellness experiments, things I'm loving, and what I've learned along the way.

Hi, I’m Ellenor, the person behind The Well Lived Journal. I started this as a space to document what I’m learning about wellness, life, faith and taking care of myself while still actually living. I’m here to share the routines I’m trying, the things that are helping me, the adventures I’m taking, the people who make my life better, and what I’m actually learning along the way. Hopefully, somewhere in these pages, you’ll find something that helps you live a little more fully too.
