Journaling to Design Your Dream Life
Synopsis:
Learn how to unleash the power of words to architect an ideal life at any age. Leilani will explain how regular journaling can give you more freedom and clarity in order to live life exactly as you please, to teach yourself to build and enjoy “the good life” however you define it at whatever age you are enjoying, and to make sure you are living in a way that will have been worth your precious time on earth. Participants will do several practice entries, using prompts that help crystallize new dreams and set you on the journey to leveling up every area of your life as you simultaneously hone your writing skills.
