Back on March 21, 2023 in my blog post, entitled Fast-tracking the Journaling of Your Moods and Behaviors, I indicated that I would be working on a moods-behaviors tracking sheet that would be used to help us . . . . . . identify WHY and WHERE our personal makeups need some fine-tuning, so we … Continue reading The Moods-Behaviors Tracking Challenge: A Writing Therapy Exercise
Hey, it's been a minute since I brought you an installment of the "Blogging Truths Be Told" series, but I felt inspired to do so. Just because. And because I love blogging.

In fact, other platforms have come and gone, been strong then faded in the … Continue reading Blogging Truths Be Told: Blogging . . . a Form of Writing Therapy?
Let's go ahead and continue our discussion from last blog post, Keeping Yourself Honest During the Process. As was previously stated, there are certain measures or systems that, most likely, need a permanent place setting in the carrying out of our process journeying.

It's the … Continue reading Indecision is a Progress Killer: A Writing Therapy Reflection
"DEAR DIARY . . . Today was a bad day! I saw so-and-so in the cafeteria line during lunchtime and she didn't even speak to me. Next time I see her, I'm not going to talk to her either, so she can see what being ignored feels like. I don't think we're going to be … Continue reading Fast-tracking the Journaling of Your Moods and Behaviors
Couldn't help myself. Couldn't help myself. I just had to take a moment and push pause on my own words to make room for someone else's. As I mentioned in our last visit with one another, I plan on taking journaling for a multi-part blogging experience, here at Degrees of Maternity. And from what I'm … Continue reading A Crash Course on Journaling from Someone Else
Have you heard of Write What's on Your Heart Day? And, did you know that it's today? I'm guessing your answers are "No" and "No." And that would make perfect sense, because I actually just made it up. Hee. Hee. (Well, at least I think I made it up. You never know these days.
