Shortly after I was first introduced to Sue.

Today is a special day, and I want to share with you a personal story about someone extraordinary in my life. Today is Sue Meyer’s birthday. You may not know who she is, but Sue is the incredible mentor who changed the course of my life 30 years ago.

I almost missed the opportunity to meet her. The idea of spending money on her workshop seemed uncertain to me-I wasn’t sure what I was going to gain from it. Thankfully, a persistent friend convinced me to attend.

It was at this workshop that I was introduced to non-dominant hand journaling, a concept that seemed quite bizarre to me at first. “Why would I journal like this?” I remember thinking. “I can’t even read what I’m writing, and it’s a struggle to write it.”

Despite my very serious doubts, I had thrown down some hard-earned cash for this workshop, so I committed myself to doing the work.

The results were nothing short of remarkable. This form of journaling led me to a more authentic self-expression.

It helped me slice through the 💩 of ‘shoulds’ and delve into the essential truths of my life. To my surprise, my writing revealed insights and realizations I never expected.

This method wasn’t just another self-help fad; it was a powerful tool for growth and self-discovery.

Decades later, I am still practicing this transformative technique, and it continues to enlighten and inspire my journey. If this story resonates with you and you’re curious about how non-dominant hand journaling-or what I call mindful journaling-and how it can positively impact your life, I encourage you to explore this further.

Let’s honor the legacy of Sue Meyers together by embracing the gift of self-awareness and personal growth.

If you found value in this, give me a clap (or two, or ten), share, comment, follow or all four!

If you’d like to support me and more well-being for all, it is appreciated.
