Don't Give Power to COVID-19! Power Up Your Writing Instead
As we are now fully steeped in a situation where phrases like social distancing, pandemic, and self-quarantine instil fear and an end of the world as we know it mentality, it’s easy to feed the social media monster that keeps you in a broken cycle of always talking about it, of giving the power of your time and energy to COVID-19.

Therapeutic Writing and the Power to Change
It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything, and I’m just discovering how much I’ve missed it. Now that my first trimester of sleeping during my writing time has passed into my second trimester of renewed energy and the holiday activities are almost over, today I launch this blog into the new year. Without further ado, this first post is from a guest contributor named Patrick Bailey.
I’m going to use the subject of this post in helping me come up with some New Year’s resolutions. Maybe you can, as well.

Writing Letters in Cursive Can Make You Smarter
Monday evening I found out I’m pregnant with my 5th child. One of my traditions I’ve instilled with every pregnancy is writing a few letters to each unborn child. The letters contain what emotions I feel as I wait for my baby to be born, how excited I am to meet him or her, and little pieces of myself that one day they’ll only know through the letter I wrote them.
With this little one on the way, I’m looking forward to engaging in this dying art form because it’s one of the rare times I write a handwritten cursive letter. The only other time I write a cursive letter is when I write a love letter to my husband. I do write all my Christmas cards, birthday cards, any kind of cards by hand. All these instances are my way of holding onto something that I believe is extremely important to society and communication.

Comparing Yourself to Others Is Destructive
Yesterday, a close friend of mine shared his struggle of comparing himself to others. He looked at one friend and saw how that friend was more successful and seemed to have it all together because his business was larger and was made up of more employees. On the other hand, my friend looked at another friend of his and saw how that friend wasn’t as efficient in finishing reno jobs as my friend was. My friend felt worse about himself when he looked at one person and felt better about himself when he looked at another.
