Discovering Courage Through Journal Writing

Ever since I was a little girl, my journal has been my closest companion. In those early golden years of childhood, it was a place to draw, describe my day, and try my hand at poetry. Later it would be my sanctuary to unload teenaged angst on my long daily bus commute to and from school.  In my early adult years, the pages were filled with dreams and affirmations for what I wanted my life to be. I recorded my challenges and celebrations and I did not know it at the time but in many ways my younger self created the life I enjoy now. That is how powerful journal writing is.
