This is a journal for those who feel something essential has gone missing in our modern lives. Here, we search for beauty in the ordinary, meaning in the making and peace in the practice.

Forthwith Journal is an invitation — it’s a quiet rebellion against isolation and discontent. Against the pressure to choose between ambition and authenticity.

At its heart is the belief that every role — whether you build, nurture, lead, or create — deserves respect and honor in equal measure.

No matter our paths, we can all do more to reconnect with our roots and with one another. Small but meaningful actions are what will guide us back to deeper truths, steadier rhythms and nourished living.

Core Values:

1. The Art of Small & Slow
Reclaiming timeless traditions in ways that fit modern life — from bread dough to garden beds, craftsmanship to photography. Simple, soulful rhythms that nourish and ground us.

2. Graceful Strength
Honoring the balance between masculine resolve and feminine grace. Recognizing that strength and tenderness have always walked hand in hand.

3. Historical Awareness
Understanding our stories without judgment. Exploring history with curiosity and respect. Drawing wisdom from the past to help us live better today.

4. Rebellious Connection
Above all, striving for presence. Inviting one another to live with purpose and depth. To value handmade arts, honest words, shared meals and the beauty in the ordinary.
