One reason for keeping a journal is to note or create a certain level of change in our lives, although, if you’re anything like me you are also aware just how much we put up with in our lives. To crave change and do little if anything about it is a simple human failing many […]
While holding the writing workshop on Saturday I couldn’t help wonder what people really wanted in a writing workshop.
