Journaling for Mental Health: A 30-Year Journey
From the time I was 13 years old, I have written in a journal. I have frequently written here about my experience going back and reading all of my journals. And by “all” I mean all 38 of them. I wrote about everything that was important to me and I wrote without leaving out details.… →

Under Pressure No More
What could you do differently? I have a tendency to read what everyone else says in response to these daily prompts before I answer it myself.
