My book, Your Journal Companion: 365 Writing Prompts to Heighten Awareness of Self and Others makes the journaling process easy with an entire year’s worth of thought-provoking writing prompts, appropriate for use by teens through seniors. For more about the book, visit the publications page here.
“Journaling is a potent tool because the Writer can speak without judgment or
interruption and tap into unspoken emotions, unrealized personal patterns, as
well as the wealth and richness of the imagination, all of which brings
the kind of awareness that helps issue personal change.”
~ Plynn Gutman
Start Your Own Journaling Club!
I offer a free downloadable, Your Journal Companion Club Guide for those who would like to start their own club and get the most out of shared or individual journaling with a group of friends.
Invite me and, when my schedule allows, I would love to join one of your group sessions via Skype or conference call and offer additional guidance and support. Contact me via email.
The club is a great accompaniment to Your Journal Companion

Start a good writing habit: daily prompt with shuffle feature
Use one inciting prompt each day to deepen your writing experience and heighten awareness of self and others. Start at Day 1 through 365, or use the shuffle feature for a surprise prompt. Scientific research shows that daily writing about issues important to you benefit body/mind health. And, tapping into one’s own inner wisdom through writing aids problem solving, stirs creativity and supports improvement of emotional intelligence.
The prompts in this app come from the book, Your Journal Companion: 365 Writing Prompts to Heighten Awareness of Self and Others, which offers interesting information on brain function and research associated with the benefits of journal writing, and shares easy instruction on key writing techniques – such as free writing, dialoguing and listing – that greatly expand the power and potential of the prompts when used to nurture and expand your writing practice.
The prompts and the book are useful for both beginning and experienced writers, from age 13 and up, and can be used as tools for self-discovery and enhancement of creativity.
Class Available
I offer a Personal Writing class that will help further your journey to awareness. Contact me for more information and to schedule your one on one or small group webinar class.
