Welcome

Welcome to The Journal Well Project an online space dedicated to the practice of journal writing.



Journal writing is a powerful tool for self-care, self-discovery, self-healing, and self-expression. Whether you are new to journal writing, advanced or somewhere in between this space is for you.

Here at The Journal Well Project, you are encouraged to cultivate and sustain a journal writing practice that contributes to the overall wellness of your life. When I think of the word well, I think of water, which is necessary and life-giving. Journal writing is like that too! It also nourishes, refreshes and renews our minds, bodies, and spirits. 

The Journal Well Project consists of a library of articles sharing my personal journaling experiences along with educational ones to help you create and sustain a nurturing writing practice.

Journaling For Creatives

A new guest post @ womencreativechats.com Transformation begins when you consistently create space for your creative dreams. Journal writing is a way for creatives to cultivate such a space that allows for their dreams to not only grow but also thrive.  I first learned about the impact of journaling on my life when I was thirteen.

The more I pursue them, the more aligned I become with the purpose of my life.  There are numerous life-changing benefits you experience with a journal wri

In the coming weeks, I will be writing more on the topic of journaling, its value, and benefits. As you read, let it be a source of inspiration for you to either start keeping a journal or to begin again if it has been some time since you last wrote out your thoughts and feelings. Here's an excerpt: My journals have always been the place where I could be the freest with my thoughts, feelings, and ideas. When I was in the 8th grade I was given my first diary. It had a brownish cover, with gold trim around the pages and a small, gold key attached to it. In this little book, I would record the daily events of my life as a thirteen-year-old girl and my “first love.” I guarded that little book with my life, hiding it under my mattress so prying eyes could not find it. When I went to high school my writings were no longer kept in a diary, but in
