My goal for 2015 is to do a better job of organizing those thoughts so I'm able to find them more quickly.

However, I started again (in earnest) three or so years ago and have written more consistently. I prefer to do journals in a hand-written format. There's something special about that, I think. <br /><br />Writing is therapeutic in a variety of ways.<br /><br />Love and blessings!
