Want to Give the Process in the Book a Try?

Journaling is a gift to yourself and those around you. Want to give it a try it? Pick a sentence start below. Finish the sentence. Write the next sentence. Let your thoughts spill out on the paper. Voila! You are journaling.

Today I feel…

  1. Today I want…
  2. Sometimes I wonder…
  3. I wish you could remember…
  4. I love you, but…

Prefer to write on the quotation at the top of the page or your own topic? Do it. Write about whatever needs to come out.

Want feedback? Send 15-1500 words to Lgood67334@comcast.net and I will write back and tell you what resonates in your writing.
