Journaling Prompts - Loft Writing Project? Listening to Mary Oliver

I listened to an interview of Krista Tippet talking to Mary Oliver about writing and Wild Geese was part of the discussion.

journaling prompts for self-discovery

Journaling is a wonderful way to calm your mind and gather inspiration from the world around you. Whenever I’m looking to evoke mindfulness, solve problems, reach goals, or just relax, I often grab for my journal and start writing.

Pick a prompt that speaks to you and let your answers flow freely. Don’t be afraid to write the truth – you’ll be surprised as to what you might discover!
