Writing a journal has been something I turn to when I am going through a challenging time in my life. Jotting down my feelings helps reduce the stress, helps me notice the humour in things, the normal life that is still going on, the uplifting or pleasurable moments that may occur in the day in the midst of the difficult. So, naturally, with the coronavirus pandemic I find myself writing again. I am happy to share this with you with the hope that you may find inspiration or ideas that work for you. Mindfulness and meditation have been a part of my life since I had cancer 14 years ago, so some of what I share is about how my practice keeps me grounded and connected with others. At the end of some of the posts, I may add some notes or a practice, or links to resources or practices I am finding helpful.
