Overview

What happens when you keep a daily journal for 50 years?

While recovering from surgery in 2023, Ken's daughter Molly stopped by to check on him, and they got to talking about the value of journaling and self-reflection for both physical and mental recovery. Ken casually told her "When I'm gone, they're all yours."

Molly said: "Dad, thank you, but realistically I can't see myself reading through volumes of your handwriting. Have you ever thought of going through them and pulling out the best stories and lessons? I'd love to read that and I know a lot of my friends would too "

In an instant, Ken knew she was right, and the idea for The Pen & the Mirror was born.
