Moments of connection and enjoyment bring us the most happiness throughout our lives, author Kristen Fogle writes in This is My Life. With this heart-based focus, Fogle deftly guides us to document these moments of connection--those lived and future ones we wish to experience--leading us through a well-structured series of chapters with prompts focusing on childhood, family and friends, passions and pastimes, career, and community. Fogle's book abounds with delightful suggestions for focal points from music, artifacts that bond us, and stories about how our parents met to friends that pushed us to grow, gifts that sparked an interest, and many more that can't help but leave the writer with a map of the heart and a beautiful record of love and dreams. --Tania Pryputniewicz, author of November Butterfly and Heart's Compass Tarot: Discover Tarot Journaling & Create Your Own Cards Kristen Fogle has created this delightful book for anyone who cares about capturing their experiences, memories, hopes, and dreams. Once you start, you will not want to stop doing these exercises! --Richard Farrell, author of The Falling Woman Journaling is an important tool for releasing creativity. This is My Life: A Guided Journal does this on several levels: as a therapeutic way to reframe and understand your life, as a means of using your life as creative material for memoir or fiction, and even as a sort of life-coaching system as you plan for the future. --Margaret Dilloway, author of Summer of a Thousand Pies
