Hooray for the two of you for getting this great project off the ground.

Here are some quotes that have helped me a lot. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do...............

"To write spiritually is to engage in a search for authentic language. You’ll find your truth by writing your way to it."-- Patrice Vecchione

Who would allow you to totally ignore, abuse, laugh with, swear at, shed tears on, get angry at and be totally honest with him/her? Your journal does.

Your journal is an unconditional friend. It does not reject, manipulate, judge, laugh at or ridicule you. It’s always there for you. So be honest with your best friend and it will help you discover who you are.

"The positive thing about writing is that you connect with yourself in the deepest way, and that's heaven. You get a chance to know who you are, to know what you think. You begin to have a relationship with your mind."-- Natalie Goldberg

Hi Linda Hi Aunt Alice
Here is a quote I found. I felt that it struck a spiritual chord within me and because the two of you have played such a big part in my ever learning journey I wanted to share it with you. -Rusty
"The outward freedom that we shall attain will only be in exact proportion to the inward freedom to which we may have grown at a given moment. And if this is a correct view of freedom, our chief energy must be concentrated on achieving reform from within." - Gandhi
