Optional Optimism: A Journal for Your Journey, a supplement to Optional Optimism: It's All in How You Look at It is designed to encourage you to take a deeper dive into looking beyond the perceived to the promise of what can be. In this journal, you are encouraged to document your innermost thoughts as you journey to your destiny.
