Praise for You Want Me to Do What?
“Swamped with chores, why should caregivers add on writing? It gives perspective, restores sanity, releases stress, and deepens awareness. Writing saved my soul and brought meaning to my caregiving years. Writer, or no writer, journaling your way through this may help and inspire you.”
Ann Davidson
Author of Alzheimer’s: A Love Story
“Writing from the heart seems to be all that is needed.”
Marilyn A.
Educator and career coach
“Any writer, experienced or otherwise, needs a place to start and a little encouragement. B. Lynn Goodwin offers this and more in You Want Me to Do What? Journaling for Caregivers, a journal keeper’s guide by a woman who’s been there, done all of it, and emerged with her sanity and sense of humor intact. Goodwin makes it simple and fun to ‘put your judgments about your writing out on the patio, or send them out to play basketball, or buy them a plane ticket to Paris. Let them go.’”
Susan Bono
Owner of Tiny Lights, a Journal of Personal Narrative

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…
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.
