The Mid Life Journal

Get Creative in the Middle of Life

The midlife is a wake up call.

The journal helps you to respond to that call. It provides the means for you to be more conscious and more mindful. More deliberate and intentional. More like yourself. More aware, and more awake.

The midlife is often a call to explore new possibilities, to cast off the skin of an old identity, and to live more deliberately. It’s a call to set out on a new journey, often to a destination unknown.

The journal can help you navigate through those often choppy, always fascinating waters of the midlife. Learning new techniques to tap into and release your creativity can enrich your life, making you feel more grounded, mindful, conscious, and awake.

There aren’t age limits or rigid definitions about what we mean by “the midlife”. If you feel like you’re in the mid life, if the words resonate and connect, then you are. This is for you.

Journal Classes

A structured class around a topic or theme can be a simple and effective way to start to journal.

All the classes here are designed to help you get more from your journal, to develop your reflective practice, and build up your creative muscles.

They’re also simple, affordable, creative, and fun.

Classes in a group setting provide a great opportunity to share ideas and perspectives with other people who are learning how to navigate the midlife with style

Coaching Support

The midlife can be a lonely place… I know, I’ve been there! Working with a coach gives you the chance to reflect on what’s emerging from your writing and creative work, and to get past any blocks and barriers to a life more creative, lived fully out loud.

1:1 coaching is done by e-mail: quick, easy, accessible, simple and affordable.

There’s also coaching support in the classes.  The group setting provide a great opportunity to share ideas and perspectives with other women who are learning how to navigate the midlife with style

The Mid Life Journal is run as a blog based website, and so you can browse the blog for articles, references and resources on the nature of the mid life journey, and the power of writing and other forms of journal keeping to gain perspective on who you are, live a more creative life, be more mindful… and wide awake!

You’ll also find a bookstore that you can look through for books on journaling, poetry, the hero’s journey and other aspects of navigating your way through the midlife.
