Motherhood is a mix between magic and mayhem. It's crazy, messy, and beautiful.
In short, it's everything. You, Mom, are everything, too. You are the nurturer, teacher, and keeper of plans and memories. You are life support. Yet somehow, you and your everything can get lost in the everything of motherhood. Leslie Ralph, creator of A Year of Happy, invites you to do it differently in Express Your A Creative Journal for Moms. Express Your Joy is designed with lots of love specifically for moms who want to bottle up those magic moments hiding in the day-to-day and create the space for reflection and reconnecting with themselves (and their kids). Use this journal to cultivate more kindness for yourself, practice more acceptance in your life, rediscover the joy in motherhood, learn what makes you tick, and find the path to a closer relationship with your family members. Collect your thoughts, restore your SELF, and recommit to your purpose, your intentions as a mother, and the legacy you want to leave with deep dive writing prompts and playful, creative exercises.
Leslie Ralph is a psychologist, writer, and artist who hopes to leave the world a little brighter than she found it.
She writes for people who crave peace, inside and out. They long to spread good in the world. They’re guided by love and light. They seek truth, tenderness, and healing. And even when they feel lost, they believe they are here to do and experience more.
Leslie’s work has been featured on sites like Positively Positive, Tiny Buddha, and Mind Body Green (not to mention The American Psychological Association, the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies, and a few professional psychology journals).
When she’s not writing for grown-ups, she’s creating picture books and artwork for kids, devising kitchen table science experiments with her three children, and taking magical family photos.
