“I thoroughly enjoyed the class and found it to be very
inspirational. I have definitely stepped up the frequency of my journaling. I
found the various ideas & approaches to journaling that were offered to be
the most helpful – techniques, if you will, that will help me “get started”
when I don’t think I have anything to write. I will now be consciously thinking
of “where is God in all of this” in my journal entries.”
-Maggie Collins, workshop participant
“Julie is a wonderful instructor. I have participated in
prayer classes and writing workshop with her. In the writing workshop, she had
wonderful prompts to help you start writing. It was exciting to find the ways
she had us connect with God and his world, and therefore ourselves and our
relationship with Christ. She is a very generous teacher with exciting ways to
help you on your spiritual journey.”-Karen Weiberg, workshop participant
