In workshops I facilitate and ones I have attended myself, comments similar to this are usually made: I didn't think I'd have anything to say. I thought I would sit here not knowing what to write. You have to trust your pen. It wants to write. It loves to run across the page in a … Continue reading Jour du Journal: You WILL find something to say!

Jour du Journal! Getting to the truth.
Yesterday on my other blog I wrote: ...I almost feel angry at my innocent children for stealing them from me. That's a feeling I try not to give voice or credence to... That was a difficult statement to put into writing, for the "whole" world to see. But it is the truth - an uncomfortable … Continue reading Jour du Journal! Getting to the truth.
