Write Away-Why Journaling Matters

 


Angie Lucas gave an insightful RootsTech 2021 class.  Her ideas are supportive and encouraging as she highlights why and how we should journal.  Angie highlights three aspects:  vision, voice, and value.  When discussing vision, Angie says to open your eyes and look around while embracing your one-in-a-trillion perspective.  This idea encourages your unique ideas and viewpoints, where this is one of the first things that usually frustrates a new journal keeper. 

Angie encourages us to use our voice.  Honor your own unique voice, your perceptions, and your experiences.  Pointed out in this class is it is far more important to tell rather than how you say it.  Remember also to engage your five senses:  sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch.

Regarding value, Angie Lucas states, people do not write because it is easy, but because they believe it matters.  Commit to participate in journaling and believe that it matters to journal. 

I encourage you to go and watch this encouraging class in journaling at RootsTech 2021.

 

Note: journals and diaries are not lists and accounts to be used to harm and hurt others.  It is not a place to keep score and record others inadequacies.  Writing to harm, hurt, or disparage others is so wrong on every level of being human.
