Our Story

 

 

Hi there. I'm Alexis Anne. Growing up, I was always surrounded by the quiet rhythm of ink on paper. My father, a man of habit and reflection, has kept a daily diary for over 60 years—a tradition that has deeply influenced me. His devotion to journaling was a constant in our home, and from a young age, I found myself drawn to notebooks, pens, and the simple yet profound act of writing. It wasn’t just about recording events; it was about giving shape to thoughts, capturing fleeting emotions, and finding clarity in the written word. Over time, this love for stationery and the art of writing blossomed into a passion.

As the years passed, life took me through various chapters, and it was during a particularly pivotal moment that I realized how much my relationship—my most important connection—needed a space to grow, reflect, and strengthen. It was in this period of personal introspection that the idea for Pause & Write was born. I knew I wanted to create something that bridged my love for journaling with the profound importance of communication and understanding in relationships.

Thus, the Weekly Relationship Check-In Journal emerged. This journal was not just a product—it was a tool, a sanctuary where couples could pause, reflect, and connect on a deeper level. It became a way to create a space for honest reflection, to release the thoughts and feelings that often go unspoken but are crucial for the growth of any partnership. It was, and still is, my goal to offer a thoughtful and meaningful way for people to take the time to nurture their relationships—one page at a time.

At Pause & Write, we want to provide you with a safe, inviting home for your thoughts. This is just the beginning. My goal is to expand the Pause & Write collection with a series of journals in the future, each designed to address different aspects of life no matter where you are on your journey. Because sometimes, the best way to move forward is to pause, write, and release.
