Discover the power of writing

Writing has become a love affair for me. From my personal experiences to insightful reflections, I share them all in my writing.

I always loved to journal and even the procurement of beautiful journals filled me with joy, the covers, the soft paper, the anticipation of what I would write in them.

I often take for granted what I have written in my journals because its freestyle and in the moment. It wasn't until I started writing my first book that I found the content extremely insightful. I had written straight from my heart and as I read back my own words I felt how aligned they were with the message I was trying to convey. A message of peace and balance.

I have several journals:

Gratitude 

Gardening 

Meditation

Process

Intention

I reach for a particular one at different times and I allow time to sit with my last entry. This I do regularly with my gratitude journal as it is so uplifting to read back over positive statements of gratitude, if I feel that life is an up hill battle.

Within the pages of my journals are both painful and joyful insights. But they also remind me of how far I have come. This is important because if we don't acknowledge and celebrate our small achievements along the way then it is difficult to remember how we got there.

Journaling in coaching is essential because it gives you this safe space to write down your thoughts and feelings. You have evidence of the work you are doing and it becomes a reference point. We can process our thoughts and feelings more easily and there are always unexpected insights.

From my journals beautiful prayers and meditations were written. I use these when I coach clients and it gives me great satisfaction to use my creative writing for the benefit of my client's and myself. Writing has the power to enlighten, heal and transform.
