Journaling for Tending to Self with Kelly Laughlin
Kelly has taught me so much about what it means to trust and tend to my practice and myself—and I think she can teach you something, too. That’s why I’ve asked her to write this special guest essay.
“I’ve been down on myself because my journal has dust on it. What you wrote was a great reminder that it’s ok and I’ll be back.”
—Ryan F.“You keep finding the way forward, and you show others how to do it.”
—Mark S.“You’re a brilliant writer and storyteller. Your words paint vivid imagery that takes me to new places. It’s a gift to the world and to me for you to keep writing.”
