This is a journal for women who feel something missing amidst the speed and noise of modern life. A search for beauty in the ordinary.
Forthwith Journal is an invitation.
Whoever you are, career driven, homemaker, entrepreneur, mothers, single, married — there is a place for you here.
We are a quiet rebellion against isolation and discontent, against the pressure to choose between ambition and authenticity.
Instilled here is the belief that each role, whether you run the world or run your home, 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, meaningful actions are what will guide us back to deeper truths, quieter rhythms and nourishing living.
Core Values:
The Art of Small & Slow:
Reclaiming tiny traditions in ways that fit modern life — from bread dough to garden beds, watercolor to woodsmoke, with room for more.
Simple, soulful rhythms that nourish and ground us.Graceful Femininity:
Exploring the unique strength in gentleness, nurturing and intuition. We believe feminine authenticity is distinctly powerful and transformative.Quiet Historical Awareness:
Understanding our journeys without judgment, exploring history with curiosity and drawing inspiration from the past. Recognizing that femininity and empowerment have never been mutually exclusive.Rebellious Connection:
Above all, striving for presence. Inviting one another to the pace of purposeful living. Connecting through the shared values of slower living, handmade arts and the appreciation of beauty in the ordinary.
