I would like to share a new Journal called Learn to Let Go: A Journal for New Beginnings by Meera Lee Patel (Author) I received in exchange for this review. Inside this post is my affiliate links if you click on the links and make a purchase I will make a percentage from the products you purchase.
When Suzzane passed away I would journal and write letters to her then life got in the way and I quit. Then Charlie started to #Homeschool and we used journaling in his Creative Writing Class. Charlie graduated and I quit journaling.
I’ve been keeping things inside which isn’t healthy. I’d decided to start journaling again and ask Charlie to do it with me. But I didn’t have a book to use but the LORD knew my needs before I did. When I received a notice about Learn to Let Go: A Journal for New Beginnings which is the perfect way to get back into journaling.
You will find Learn to Let Go: A Journal for New Beginnings inside our Christmas Gift Guide 25 for the women on our Shopping List although men may enjoy the journal as well. Especially teachers. I can even see using Learn to Let Go: A Journal for New Beginnings in a #Homeschool Creative Writing Class.
I love how in the book is quotes that will get the writing flowing. The Author has included key practices for us to use when journaling which was a Godsend to me. There are even pages for us to draw pictures on which was very therapeutic and allowed Charlie and I to spend one on one time together.
The illustrations and quotes in the book would be fun to hang up in my office. The book is small enough to fit in our bags when traveling. I can’t wait to check out other books created by Meera Lee Patel (Author) and I hope you will as well.
About:
A heartfelt and full-color guided journal for exploring new beginnings, by the beloved author of Start Where You Are
Wherever we are in life, change is always around the corner – and we often find ourselves clinging to the familiar, to what’s safe, even if it’s no longer serving us, rather than summoning the courage to simply let go.
