“To gain your own voice, you have to forget about having it heard.”
—Allen Ginsberg
I think as a journal keeper it is important to is define your relationship with writing and journaling. I think it can be a flexible, malleable definition to some degree, as long as the degrees are your own. More

One of my favorite Journal Pals is here on the blog today sharing her own blend of journal love. My friend, Kel Rohlfe, is a kindred creative, and word girl. I am grateful to know her and blessed that God allowed us to cross paths through blogging and our passions for writing, truth, and creative journaling. Kel has her own unique way with words, which makes for engaging and enjoyable conversation.
Here’s her share today for Write 31 Days/ Journal Enthusiast… More

Today, I’m reaching back in time and sharing my strongest journaling influences. In my early twenties, I worked full-time in the fitness field as a Personal Trainer, and Fitness Instructor. Eventually I held the position of Personal Training Director, helping to mentor and train up and coming staff and other fitness influencers in that field. I know what it is to be an influencer, and to be influenced, to inspire and be inspired.

I have just returned from a weekend Writers’ Conference here in New England. My mind is still racing and I am heading into a busy week…I am hoping to catch a bit more time to process the wealth of information, beauty and diverse voices I experienced during this event. Meantime, as always finding the way back into my own rhythm includes a bit of poetry. Poetry is my pathway to clarity, focus, vision, and possibility. I hope to be sharing more about that soon…I promise big news is on the horizon, and I can’t wait to share it with you! One small step for this writer…and for you, my faithful readers and friends!
Meanwhile, I pray this simple affirming words breathe freshness into your day. For those of you who follow my Instagram account, this is my response to the Spontaneous Journal Prompt I shared on August 16th. I wrote it this morning, but it is the ruminating question on my mind as I consider my current writing life.

As many of you know my morning writing and quiet time is a source of inspiration and poetry.
On this Christmas Eve morning, here is my offering…
I pray it is a blessing and revelation to you.
*A little shout out and thanks to my friend in this writing life and journey, Susie AKA Recovering Church Lady for her input this morning!
