Summer Story Time-Embodying Joy: A Heart Journal, Chapter 2

Today, we explore three warm-up journal prompts which are Chapter Two. There are things to consider from author Anne LaMott, Arizona State University research, the Holy Bible, The Secret Garden, and what it means to tap into self-care, the first step in self-love. There are three, separate prompts to journal along to with the mindful, meditative sounds of Masood Taj's "Unconditional Love" track (short version-5 minutes), or you can choose to extend your experience with the entire, longer track version from my accompanying Spotify playlist: track 4-Hop over to listen!

Today's chapter contains one swear word (sh**) that is part of Anne LaMott's quote. Out of great respect to one of my favourite authors, I kept the quote in its original form and context. If this word is offensive to you, my apologies and you might want to ensure little ears are not around when you are listening and  journaling today early on in the episode.

These children greatly benefit from optimism and hope found within trained adults who work with them to build resiliency. A special shout out to the Playmakers in Syracuse City School District today!
