I am honoured to be part of the WOW! Women of Writing Blog Tour for Mari McCarthy’s Heal Yourself with Journaling , which I read and am now reviewing.
(Please note: I received a free copy in exchange for my honest review.)
My Review:
I was fortunate to be able to read (and review) Mari McCarthy’s earlier journaling book – Journaling Power. It encouraged me to journal more often and I have kept it up.
Mari’s latest book, Heal Yourself with Journaling Power, builds on this book and provides a valuable tool to help anyone improve their life.
What I especially liked about Mari’s book was the focus on sharing testimonies from people who had had their lives changed from journaling. Most chapters focus on one person who tell their stories, give advice and hope, with the knowledge that anyone can journal and grow.
Each of the 12 chapters also provide a writing prompt to help us all tell our own stories, take action, discover our power, express ourselves.
We can have the life we envision and have the future we want.
Mari’s book was an easy, but powerful read, with lots of valuable information about journaling. Mari never gives us strict rules – rather suggestions about using journaling the way it will work best for each of us.
This book was a very worthwhile read – 5/5 on Goodreads for me.
