Being a member of the IAJW community has given me a sense of belonging. It has improved my motivation to journal, and increased my desire to give back what I have learned to my clients and my workshop group participants. Lynda has created a safe place where I have been able to deepen the place inside of me where power and story intersect. I have learned to trust the journaling process as a wonderful tool for guidance, direction and clarity. Whenever I go to one of Lynda’s writing groups or workshops I gain new skills, ideas, and inspiration and I feel seen, known and accepted.
