Writing Prompts & Inspiration
Blogs about writing, mindfulness, and self-care.
New here?
Welcome to the Write Your Journey blog!
When I quit my university job to write full time, I planned to become a travel writer. Life’s circumstances forced me to focus on a very different kind of journey: the inner journey.
On my blog I write about anything to do with writing, wholehearted living, mindfulness, meditation and self-care. I also post the occasional travel article and anything else I think you might find inspirational.
Here are a few of my most popular blog categories to help you easily find the advice and inspiration that you are looking for.
