things i heart: journal

"things i heart" is my new friday series on the blog.  hope you enjoy.

i just have to share my love of journaling with you all.  i started keeping a journal about a year and a half ago, at a precarious time in my life (precarious is probably the easiest way to sum it up!), and i quickly became addicted.  writing, when you know no one else will ever see it, is one of the most exhilarating feelings you can have.  it leaves you with such a feeling of freedom.  whatever you put in there?  well, it can be anything you want!

"i found writing to be the only way to clarify my contradictory feelings and experience internal freedom."

-toni bentley, winter season: a dancer's journal

i couldn't agree more with miss toni, a former ballerina with the new york city ballet.  try it out, i have a feeling you'll be pleasantly surprised by what you discover about yourself.
