Classes and More....
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! (from a recent newsletter)
I did enjoy our ONLINE JOURNAL CLASS that met in June and July. Thanks to all who participated. I’ll work on another in the not too distant future.
Saturday journaling –I want to set up another Saturday journaling and this time I am proposing that we meet from 3 to 5PM on Sept. 10th. Though the exact exercises have not been chosen as yet I’d like to focus on how to take the time to listen to our intrinsic wisdom. Why do we have trouble trusting ourselves, and why do we allow external “noise” to take us over?
Time: 3 to 5PM Cost: $30. Email smeyn1@cox.net or call 480-945-9180 to sign up.
Thursday morning! – We continue to be open to adding participants to our Thursday morning journaling class. We meet (usually) on the second Thursdays of the month from 10 to noon. This is the place where we write together and find ourselves reaching into the magic we all have within. The room is transformed as we share only what we wish to share, and find new insights, more hope, and deepened intimacy with ourselves and others in the class. Call for directions. 480-945-9180. Cost: Donation of $10 suggested.
New Connection! – I’m happy to report that I have signed on as an Asst. Editor on the Writing and Poetry Therapy Page of the website AllThingsHealing.com. I hope you’ll take a look, both to see our page and also to look through ALL the offerings there. It’s a wonderful view of all kinds of healing practices, mainstream as well as alternative. All the folks I’ve “met” have been bright, warm, and professional, so I feel good about spending some of my time with them. Choices, once again! www.allthingshealing.com
BLOG! - The blog has suffered from the same choices that have kept me from sending the newsletter more often. I will, once again, make a point to get there more often. I hope you’ll help by stopping by and making your own comments about journaling and magic. www.journalmagic.com/blog.html I haven’t written as nearly as often as I would like, but knowing you might peek in is helping me remember.
WORKBOOK – I want to remind you, if you are looking for some guidance to help you journal into deeper, wiser parts of yourself, please 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.
