"I love to copy a passage from a book into my planner; the process of writing brings me stress relief and healing," says the founder of Grain Rain, a passionate traveler and writer. She has a habit of collecting paper goods and stamps from different places while traveling and meticulously documenting her journey in her planner. This practice not only helps her find joy in life through writing and travel but also provides a sense of healing for her mind and spirit.
