    Q&A: “What Questions Do You Have About Journaling?”

    Q&A: “What Questions Do You Have About Journaling?”

    Every other week, I post a special episode of JournalTalk devoted to a specific question that I’ve received from fans, followers or friends about some aspect of journal-writing. I enjoy sharing my perspective, and giving examples from the 30+ years that I’ve been keeping a journal. But even more, I love the conversation with others. That’s why I […]

    Journaling with Joy(ce Chapman)!

    Journaling with Joy(ce Chapman)!

    You can hear my enthusiasm in the intro of this week’s episode, because it’s a profound pleasure to have Joyce Chapman finally appear on JournalTalk. Joyce’s history and wisdom in Journal-writing goes back further than anyone else I’ve met. And she summarizes all of it in single sentence: “Journal to know yourself.” She’s convinced that sticking […]

    Journaling Like God

    Journaling Like God

    My guest this week asks us to consider that perhaps our journals are not really private. Maybe the pages we write are a collaboration with a universal spirit, a co-author in our life experience. Join me in an open-minded dialogue with Maryann Patalano, a religious science practitioner and author of the book, Journal Like God, as we explore […]

    Fantasy Journaling (Part 3 of 3)

    Fantasy Journaling (Part 3 of 3)

    Part three of our series in fantasy journaling features Anne Marvin‘s concept of finding truth in fantasy — finding out what you really want, by exploring the worlds of fantasy and make-believe. Anne has a background in federal nuclear weapons policy, but confesses she also enjoys “deep thoughts while reading vampire porn.” Her blog is loaded […]

    Fantasy Journaling (Part 2 of 3)

    Fantasy Journaling (Part 2 of 3)

    Have I got a story for you. In the previous episode, I introduced the concept of “fantasy journaling” — writing in a private diary, about events that never actually took place, as if they had. In this episode, I’m joined by my friend, “Janet-from-another-Planet” as I share about the most interesting and extreme version of fantasy journaling […]

    Fantasy Journaling (Part 1 of 3)

    Fantasy Journaling (Part 1 of 3)

    Sweeping through my boxes of old journal books, I happened upon a passage that I wrote in college — a detailed account of a semi-erotic interaction with someone on whom I had a secret crush. Wait a minute, I thought, as my neurons raced to retrieve my inner journal logs for comparison, I don’t remember this ever […]

    Metaphors for Spiritual Growth

    Metaphors for Spiritual Growth

    You don’t have to believe that Dorothy Gale was a real Kansas farmer’s niece, or acknowledge the existence of a magical Munchkinland in order to gain insights and inspiration for finding your own (yellow-brick) path home. Similarly, you can draw upon a number of powerful images and stories to deepen your spiritual journey, without committing to a belief […]

    Q&A: “Can Journaling Help Me Be Better Friends (with Myself)?”

    Q&A: “Can Journaling Help Me Be Better Friends (with Myself)?”

    Susan Borkin joins me once again, to share a therapist’s viewpoint on the journal-writing benefit of improved self-esteem, and walk us through a few tips from her book, The Healing Power of Writing. Maybe it’s a generational thing, but I don’t seem to hear about the importance of a positive self-image anymore. When I was growing up in the […]

    Beyond Journaling: The World Needs Your Message

    Beyond Journaling: The World Needs Your Message

    A key distinction that sets journaling apart from all other forms of creative expression is privacy. In this episode, we take a step beyond. My guest, Doug Foresta, believes firmly in the benefits of private journal-writing, and yet also urges us, “the world needs our voice and our gifts.” Producer and host of Creating Change on Empower Radio and […]

    Q&A: “Does it Help to Shout into My Journal?”

    Q&A: “Does it Help to Shout into My Journal?”

    Anonymous callers are so much fun, and ask such close, personal questions. This one asks, “Can a journal help someone with anger management issues?” I’ve got some thoughts of my own on this, but I’ve invited back back Susan Borkin, to include a therapist’s viewpoint. Her book, The Healing Power of Writing,is a great resource for questions like […]

    Stop Drifting, Start Living

    Stop Drifting, Start Living

    I’ve often said on this program: Journaling is a process, not a product; a journey not the destination. This week, meet Jami McQuivey, an author, coach and speaker who is on that perpetual journey of self-discovery, constantly realizing new dreams.  Her first book, Stop Drifting, Start Living containing twenty-two lessons from her travels in China, is being […]

    Journaling When Words Are Not Enough

    Journaling When Words Are Not Enough

    Several episodes ago, I interviewed Susan Borkin, and we just “clicked”. I’ve enjoyed having her come back to share answers to those of your journaling questions that she has written about in her book, The Healing Power of Writing. In this episode, a JournalTalk listener shares her immense grief over her mom’s absence for the past 4+ years, […]

    Uncovering Many Selves Through Writing

    Uncovering Many Selves Through Writing

    As we journey through the movement of our life, what aspects of ourselves do we birth or bury, in order to make sense of, and give meaning to, our experience? This question was my guest’s inspiration for her newest book. Nearly two years ago, I interviewed Joan Leof, after she inspired me to dig back through my old, […]
