Interest Group – Journaling Herd

Writing is a great activity to document your thoughts and feelings and to process what has happened and is happening in one’s life. This herd will write about their life and share their writing with others in the herd. We will follow questions from Michelle Obama’s journaling book “Becoming”.

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

During the first journaling mini herd session, participants were introduced to Michelle Obama‘s book Becoming.

In her book Michelle writes,

“Your story is what you have, what you will always have.  It is something to own… If you don’t see that your story matters, chances are no one else will either.  So even though it isn’t always easy, it’s important for you to find the strength to share your truth.  Because the world needs to hear it.”

Each participant in this mini herd will write and share their story.  The herd will pick three of four questions from Becoming each month.  The three questions to write about for the February meeting follow.  Come join us!

1. _{Describe your proudest moment in the fullest detail possible.  Recall as much as you can.}
2. _{What do you want? List 10 things you want for yourself.  For each item, write one simple step toward making that wish come true.}
3. _{Describe your childhood home.  What are some of the details that stand out the most? What made your home different from your friends’ homes?}
