JOURNAL MAGIC “TOOLS”:
These are all available through my store at the website, www.journalmagic.com. Some are also available at Changing Hands Bookstore.
•The Book! - “Journal Magic! Lessons in Therapeutic Writing” – This workbook is a combination of basic information about journaling with twelve different themed sessions to help you focus your personal writing. It’s intended to “coach” you through the process to help you grasp more fully the potential you carry within. With four ‘classes’ in each session you’ll have plenty of exercises to use! These classes are former ‘online’ classes that have been compiled for you to have at your fingertips!
(Just go to the JMStore to see all these tools and to order them if you choose.)
“My Personal Journal” – A companion to “Journal Magic! Lessons in Therapeutic Writing” – This journal gives you 188 pages within which to discover your own magic!
“JournalCards” – A wonderful tool to assist you through the book and with your daily journaling. Each of the fifty five cards has a word, a picture, and four penetrating questions that will help you reach within to uncover more of your uniqueness. They have been tested repeatedly and always found to be satisfying helpers.
“THE JOURNALMAGIC KIT” – You can combine all these items, plus a pen and have all that you will need for hours of productive and meaningful journaling.
ADDITIONAL JOURNAL MAGIC OPPORTUNITIES:
•“Journal Parties” Do you want to have some meaningful time with friends? Gather them together, provide some refreshments, and I will bring you a two-hour journaling class. You’ll have a chance for personal reflection as well as special time with friends. Cost: $75 regardless of numbers present. Call me to set one up, 480-945-9180.
•“Journal Magic Presentations” – Contact me for customized presentations for your group or organization. Communication, stress reduction, or personal self-care are examples of topics that can bring people together in a gentle and non-threatening way.
The Wellness Community – If you or someone you know has cancer, you can participate in FREE support groups there. In Phoenix call 602-712-1006, or online go to www.thewellnesscommunity.org. Research supports the benefits of Online Support Groups(a kind of expressive writing) - and I am grateful to be one of their facilitators.

Journal Magic offerings!
You will notice that I have no workshops or online classes scheduled for the summer. I have several projects I am working on, including the online class for fall at Phoenix College. I’m trying to write a blog with some regularity, so hope you will check it out at: www.journalmagic.com/blog.html. Since I am letting you know about it here I will be forced to be more accountable ;-)
So, if you are looking for some guidance to help you journal into deeper, wiser parts of yourself, just take a look at my book, Journal Magic! Lessons in Therapeutic Writing. In it you’ll find instructions for all the techniques we use in our classes, as well as classes on twelve different topics. Within each of those twelve topics there are four sessions----so you really can pick a class each week---and have a session for all but two weeks of the year!
All of the classes have been “tested” by real live folks who have enjoyed them. I hope you do, too. Go to www.journalmagic.com/jmstore.html to order your copy!
Another option for a workshop---consider calling to set up a Journal Party! 480-945-9180 (Phoenix, AZ area)
