My life has been an experience with much pain and loss. In an attempt to make sense of my pain, diffuse the weight, and make meaning out of it, I began to journal in the early 90's. In this Wellness Journal section, you will find writings from those journals and see a glimpse of where pain goes, how it grows us and the meaning in all of it. In every entry there is a relational wrestling occurring whether it be with God self or others. We often experience healing the same way we experience hurt; in relationship. Sometimes that healing begins in a counseling room and it prepares us and trains us for showing up in other rooms and other relationships.
