My book received "Best in Self-help" in the New Mexico Book Awards 2007
The latest book by Cindy Bellinger
...but it's not your usual book about keeping a journal. It's closer to
"the art of listening to rocks"
-- that way of tilting your ear toward things unheard
-- that way of looking at things not seen
The book is about eavesdropping on yourself. It's a guide through all the inner layers--the dark and the dank, and the riches that are so often buried.
Best of all, in an age of fast-paced electronics Journaling for Women offers a refreshing, handheld thoughtfulness.
From the Author
.jpg) I began keeping a journal when I was ten, after getting one of those little locking Girl Scout diaries for my birthday. Now that I'm nearing 60, I can say my journal has "watched" --
-- the scary departures from bad relationships
-- that wonderful surprise of being in love again
-- the fear of discovering a past of incest and abandonment
-- the unfathomable hurt from losing my entire family
-- the delight of finding a place to live that finally fits
-- the love of friends who know how to make me laugh
Skimming through any of my 89 volumes of journals never fails to amaze me. It's always a lesson in perspective because the process of Meeting Yourself Up Close is never-ending.
Three Things to Remember While Journaling
- unfold quietly into yourself
- keep spiraling towards honesty
- listen for the unspoken
