I will start journaling (again) on my upcoming birthday. I stopped a few years ago after leaving a 19-year toxic relationship. I stopped writing because there was nothing left to say.

I left my career of 40 years 2 weeks ago. It feels like it's time to start journaling again. Maybe it will help find a new path.

Good article!

Thank you, Patti. I predict that you have A LOT to say, particularly for people who share the same type of experiences! I'm planning to write more about my own personal dealings with a toxic relationship, codependency, and more. I look forward to hearing about your stories of survival and strength!

Great post. I love that there are so many journalling options out there, and I've dabbled with many of them. Great recommendation for Jillian Hess's 'Noted' - I LOVE her posts!

In answer to your question: I don't think anybody's ever read my journal, although I have shared the odd entry to someone from time to time - always heavily curated and supervised!

Super cat pic! I love the term 'dust bunnies' - in German they're called 'Wollmäuse', which means 'wool mice'. Very cute.

Thank you...for the compliment AND educating me about the German version of 'dust bunnies.'

Glad to hear no one stole a look into your journal without your approval! It's such an invasion of privacy!
