Hi Linda, lovely to be connected and I’m thrilled you’re joining us. There are lots of 60+ women who join my journaling workshops. I have one amazing lady who’s in her 80’s and writing her 3rd memoir who joins my weekly “Journal with Ease” sessions. So it’s a BIG HI FIVE to all elder retired women. It’s never too late to journal!
Hi Tanya, I’m really enjoying your essays on journaling. My fear of others reading my journals holds me back, and always has, but I feel like your essays will help me unlock my secret cupboard of thoughts, emotions, and reflections, so I can finally allow myself to get them out on paper. Could you please talk more about freewriting, which I love, as well as unsent letters? Thank you!
Hi Karen, thanks for commenting and I’m thrilled you’re enjoying my essays on journaling. I’ve never thought of them as essays, but I like the fact you’ve described them as essays.
Regards freewriting, it took me a long time to really release my true feelings and emotions onto the page using this method. Different people have slightly different opinions about what’s involved with freewriting. I’ll write an “essay” about it for you this week.
I deliver a brilliant exercise using the “unsent letters” method in my “Rage on a Page” program but also encourage my students to use it on my “Journal with Ease” club, which I host every Thursday at 1pm via zoom. You should join us 💫
I am going to do the july Journaling. I am not a woman in mid-life but in my late years. Retired. I have some anger.
