Dear reader

This journal is incredibly valuable and healing to me as a place to write my thoughts, feelings, and ideas. I also use it as a kind of scrapbook for images and quotes that I want to remember. But I have come to a point where some of what I need to write is highly personal, so I am going to start password-protecting a number of posts. This allows me the privacy I need to continue the therapeutic benefits of this journal. Thank you for understanding.
