Awkward & Wonder-Full Growth...







Ironic, that my last post was the Stops & Go's of Journaling - maybe a future post could be the Stops & Go's of Blogging LOL ;-).

I'm growing and it's awkward...
I'm back!  Growing Sanity Journals is a strange, wonderful, and at times uncomfortable experience for me as I find myself morphing and changing as it alters size and shape.  In order for it to go to the next level, it means I have to shift (often reluctantly)in some new way and get uncomfortable as I stretch into what is next.  Well, I am happy to say I made it through and now I have been spending much of my time at The Journaling Lounge and creating what's next (oh no, that might mean another growth opportunity is on the way ;-))

The "creative bubble" burst!
I want to share what has transpired at The Lounge!!!!  It blasted off on November 3 and members were joining at midnight!  It was thrilling to see people logging in and "getting" the space that it was all created in - love, creativity and inspiration!  They immediately felt it!  It was thrilling to see what was in a creative bubble for so long come to life and open up in ways far beyond what I had imagined.  Our community is 109 and growing - and we come from all different places in the world!

What's the scoop, really?
It's about taking YOUR writing to a new and different level.  Even for me, trying this online journaling was awkward at first.  I find now that while I still often prefer pen to paper, there is a time for both and both can be insightful!  Ok, so The Lounge it's this "inspiring" place to hang out, where you want to stop by often just to see what's happening and get up to date on what's transpired in the lives of fellow Loungers.  You can even show up incognito ;-) - posting anonymously or for your eyes only for comfort's sake till you feel more daring!  It's about amazing stories that you can relate to on so many levels.  It's about people reaching out, letting others know "I have been there too".  It's about people being real, vulnerable and willing to put themselves out there for the sake of something greater.  One of my dear friends describes it as...."a delightful fresh alternative to mental and emotional "fast food"!!"
 
Creative bubble bursting again soon...
It's an alternative to traditional journaling, it might be a place to take it to the next level for you while being surrounded and supported by like-minded people!  And...I will be announcing new releases from the "creative bubble very soon"! Some super cool new stuff is coming to The Lounge in the next week or two!   
 
Thanks for letting me share!  Enough said...come on by!  I'll meet you there!
