Description
This is the second Journaling book from Vanita Oelschlager. This journal is for moving on after surviving addiction, divorce, sickness or other life situations. Write With Me helps lead your way home, with inspiring photography, introspective prompts and words of encouragement from Vanita and other notable authors, mystics and humanitarians.
Author : Vanita Oelschlager
Vanita is a wife, mother, grandmother, former teacher, current caregiver and, for almost ten years, author and poet.
She was born and raised near Pittsburgh. She is a graduate of Mt. Union College in Alliance, Ohio, where she currently serves as a Trustee.
She has also supported and helped Jim as he built Oak Associates, ltd. into a successful investment management firm.
Today, as an accomplished author, Vanita shares openly the experiences that she, Jim and their families have had with multiple sclerosis. She has likened MS to living with an elephant, one that won’t go away or be ignored. Together, she and Jim have found ways to live with this “elephant”, and to share some of the larger lessons about life they’ve learned through the disease.
Short Review
Having reviewed a couple of Vanita’s books for children already, I was eager to read this book of hers, especially since it was on journaling.
This little book has stunning photographs, inspirational poems and quotes on one side and blank ruled pages on the other side for you to journal.
I received an e-book from the publisher, but once I started going through it I wished I had a hard copy.
This would make a great gift for writers/ those who journal.
Excerpt from Write With Me
Friend,
Write with me:
Not your years in life
But the life in your years.
Will you take a risk
For love
For your dreams
For life’s adventures?
Write with me:
Not how your make your living
But what “living” really means to you.
What do you long for?
What do you dare?
What do you love?
Write with me:
About the company you keep
In the quiet moments
About being at home wherever you stand
About what it’s like to be alone with yourself.
