Joan Porte on JournalTalk

Journaling with the Stars

Joan Porte on JournalTalkFor Joan Porte, looking inward and looking upward are nearly the same thing.

As a karmic astrologer, she uses the position and trajectory of celestial objects as her prompts for reflection. And from that angle, she arrives at life’s passion, clarity and purpose with astounding results!

Those who know me, (including Joan!) know that I’m a skeptic about such things, and yet her insights provide an entire universe of journal-writing fodder. Her ability to make sense of what she’s describing, and explain the profound conclusions in simple terms, helped me to grasp that perhaps, maybe, if our lives can be affected by Earth’s gravitational pull and miniature waves of light, radiation, and heat, then perhaps somehow, just maybe, we might also be affected in similar proportion by the energies of very largest objects in the known universe!

Join me in this interview with Joan, and let’s ponder questions about our life’s guiding purpose. See also: Joan’s astrological cookbook (you read correctly!) called, Signs of the Tines, a one-of-a-kind collection of recipes inspired by the energies of the zodiac. (JournalTalk, Episode #48, January 20, 2015)

The Journal-Writer’s Guide to Staying Started

JT_Nathan+Mom

One of the most common questions I answer in my journal-writing courses is “How can I keep consistent in my writing?”  In this special episode of JournalTalk, I share some material from my new, upcoming course, Getting Started, Staying Started; and I propose that today is the best time to consider your New Year’s Resolutions.

Rather than basing our goals on a twelve-o-clock wish without any plan or support, what if we take just a few minutes each day, starting now, to make a fresh start.  The reason so many people fail to keep their resolutions isn’t laziness or lack of motivation.  We’re great at starting something new, but we don’t always know how to stay started!  I share three traits of successful journal-writers that keep high enthusiasm for their personal growth.  And I offer a special introductory discount for my three-week journaling workshop that starts December 1st. (JournalTalk, Episode #18, October 28, 2013)
