YOUR WORLD
with Journaling
I write in my journal to keep me sane. Regularly.
AT LEAST WEEKLY, SOMETIMES DAILY
in all manner of styles, settings, speeds, and sizes
Carolyn Koesters
My interest in journaling began as a young girl when my second grade teacher, Mrs. Thomason, handed me my very first journal. For thirty years, I’ve developed that gift into my life’s purpose: to offer journal writing to anyone as an invaluable instrument for healing, growth, and discovery, and to share the gift of personal writing with anyone who has a desire to be transformed through the power of words.

MY LIFE'S PURPOSE
Through my passion for personal writing, I’ve discovered a realm of therapeutic benefits through expressive writing that have been studied and proven to reduce stress and promote feelings of well-being. Journal Therapy, which is defined as the purposeful and intentional use of life-based writing to further therapeutic goals, is one of the Expressive Arts Therapies, such as dance, art, or music therapy. I earned my credential as a Certified Applied Poetry Facilitator through the International Federation for Biblio/Poetry Therapy in 2006 and love sharing my passion for and extensive knowledge of personal writing with beginning writers and life-long journalers alike.
