Millions of people are joined in the knowledge that writing brings insight and calm in the same way that prayer, meditation, or a long walk in the woods does. They have discovered that writing allows the racing mind to move at the pace of pen and paper or the pace of typing on the waiting screen - that journal writing is a spiritual practice.

Spiritual life is contractual.

We cannot think without language, we cannot process experience without story.

Story is the mother of us all, for we become who we say we are.

Intuition always has our best interest at heart.

We make our lives bigger or smaller, more expansive or more limited, according to the interpretation of life that is our story.

My journal is my life's companion.
