Missed you all. I’ve been away for a bit, but I’m comin’ at you with a different message for this particular day and for this particular time.

Now, I’m not trying to get into the weeds with this blog … Continue reading A Writing Therapy Reflection: A Story About the Message in the Tree
Thursdays seem to be my blogging comfort zone these days. I might have to go ahead and officially adopt them as my go-to blogging day.

You know how I do when the new school year rolls around again, don't you? … Continue reading Year-in-Remembrance with Writing Therapy List-making (cont.)
Let me go ahead and apologize for being a little delinquent in getting this blog post out for the week. I assure you it wasn't because of playing hooky.

And from what I'm … Continue reading A Crash Course on Journaling from Someone Else

Writing for personal healing is no new thing, because human beings are no new thing. We've been around for a while, and we've seen therapeutic writing used in various forms but probably never recognized … Continue reading Uncovering Identity in Personal Writing
Soooooo? How'd you do with your list? Yes, I just had to start things off just . . . like . . . that.
