Membership

Being a member of the IAJW community has given me a sense of belonging. … Lynda has created a safe place where I have been able to deepen the place inside of me where power and story intersect. … I feel seen, known and accepted.

I am so thankful that you Lynda, and IAJW, have become part of my … journey — I can’t wait to see what you and IAJW and I discover together this year.

Laughter, tears, heartache, and joy are the emotions shared as part of the IAJW community. … As a lifelong journal writer, I was amazed to discover that sharing the experience with others opened a whole new world for me.

While journaling has been such an important part of my life since 1974, it was pretty much a solitary journey … Now I am loving being part of a community of like-minded individuals … It has opened new doors for me, and I am immensely grateful.

I love that I can always count on all the warmth, shared ideas and camaraderie of the IAJW community. … I also appreciate the courses, tools, and spontaneous writing prompts all of which enhance my journaling, and broaden my point of view.

I have journaled for many years, but I had no idea how journaling could be used to enhance my life through prompts and by setting intentions in what I write. … It is always exciting to see the group when we gather every month.

I am thrilled to be part of such a supportive group of writers who understand the value of journaling, are devoted to learning more about themselves and the world … and happily share their insights with the rest of us.

You offer so much at IAJW … I feel like I sit down at a huge harvest table and feast on a very nourishing meal!!

If you like writing in a journal you will like it here.

Joining the IAJW was the catalyst for me finding my voice, and being able to learn to write through my challenging past to a place of healing and clarity. … Now I own my story. IAJW is my second home and the best gift I ever gave myself.
