We all have stories to tell and by putting our words on the page we feed our souls and benefit our physical selves as well. Writing stories is one of the most healing activities in which we can engage. When we put pen to paper and recapture events in our lives, both happy and sad, we do much good for ourselves. All writing is an attempt to find meaningfulness in the midst of our busy lives. Writing helps capture the inner voice and is in some way therapeutic since it is a desire to bear witness to the truth of our lives. Mornings we will reflect on the published memoirs; afternoons are for personal writings; evenings we gather to discuss our day and our writing. We will use “Writing as a Way of Healing – How Telling Our Stories Transforms Our Lives” by Louise Desalvo – Beacon Press, Boston l999.
