“To heal is to make whole: to unify what was separate, broken in pieces. For many women, the journal offers one place in their lives where, literally and symbolically, all the pieces of themselves finally come together and they can be whole.”
Marlene A. Schiwy, “A Voice of Her Own”
Last night someone wrote to me about a post I’d written at my former blog, Psychotherapy, Creativity, Spirituality and Healing . I’d forgotten about that blog and my late night visit brought back so many sweet memories, forgotten or neglected wisdom, and old heartaches now viewed with a different, generally clearer lens. Spending time among words that I’d shared so long ago reminded me once again of how important writing can be for providing continuity and perspective, and has prompted me to begin adding many of those old posts to this blog (to join pieces of my past with my present). It also renewed my commitment to make time start to start writing here again. I’m hoping too that I can encourage you to do your own writing, and so I plan on sharing writing prompts with you from time to time. I imagine that you’re busier than you might want to be already and will very likely struggle to find time to sit and reflect, or to indulge your creative side, but I hope that you do. I know that it will be worth it even if you’re not convinced yet.
