To support writing for healing and personal growth, I created this lovely guided journal based on my poem, “I Am Willing.” This volume is for you to write, expressing and exploring your dreams and challenges, your hopes and fears. Ideal to use on your own or in a group setting, it also makes a thoughtful gift for someone in the midst of life changes. A stanza of the poem tops each writing page with ample space for reflections and revelations. You may begin at the beginning of the poem, or open to any line that speaks to you. Make this book your own. Now begin…

Transcending Boundaries allows you to experience optimism, generosity, playfulness, kindness, and beauty, celebrating the embracing, open-hearted, richness of being human.
