Kathy Shanks in her self-help book "Guided Journaling" shares a multitude of helpful life affirming nuggets of wisdom. As she "journals" the book she journals into the reader -- this reader! -- the importance of building self-awareness through the art of journaling. Practicing gratitude and maintaining healthy relationships are just some of the pointers she shares with us. Each chapter starts with a pithy quote from Buddha, Hellen Keller, Frank McCourt, et al., and ends with a summary of the chapter's main points. All laid out quite well. I learned much from Kathy and recommend this book. Thank you, Kathy!
