Journaling = therapy

It is time for me to get a new journal...
I usually go to a bookstore and find the prettiest, feels-good-in-your-hand, journal I can find.
My 2011 journal is filled up and Ive begun writing in a old marble notebook- which really does not feel the same.
I'm excited about finding a new one....

I began journaling heavily during my onset of tmau. It was( and is) truly therapeutic. Journaling is like writing to a friend and purging your heart and emotions. Seeing pain on a page is much better than holding it in your heart. There is deep comfort in writing.

By the way,
Yesterday at school I was quite nervous about entering that classroom where as I said last week I had a tmau occurrence. I am happy to say my body was calm and I had no problems. I even enjoyed the class and was able to relax. I was able to move my seat a little away from the crunched layout we are usually in- which helped to relax me too.

Oh..and one last thing for today. I'm going to leave you guys with a youtube video of one of my heros. The video is not for the faint of heart. She is so strong and has been through more trauma than I could ever fathom. She is compassionate and beautiful- so watch and be uplifted.....hug!

(might I encourage you to go get yourself a lovely or handsome journal and start your own inner journey...)
