Good morning to all. 00:16:28 Yvonne MacKay: good morning to everyone! 00:16:43 Carol: yes! to the information overload. Often think I need a retreat time after a conference (even if I've already been away at the conference) simply to process all I've gleaned from the conference. 00:17:19 Carol: love Julie Andrews and Etta James. 00:24:30 Kristy: Branding is your voice made visible. 00:28:30 Martha Artyomenko: Reading sometimes feels like you are not working, but it can really help! 00:30:07 Kristy: No writing is wasted. 00:30:56 Karen C: Do medical reports count?

It really helps. 00:31:48 Christie K: I only tend to journal when stressed... 00:32:09 Linda T: I journal every day to help sort out feelings about things going on in life. For instance through the whole pandemic I have journaled and seeking God's perspective. Writing it out helps me to get that perspective. 00:32:14 Lila Diller: I don't stress about journaling every day, but it does help to get stuff out of my head so my creativity can take over. 00:32:27 Renee Lee: Lisa I journaled for years! It is so beneficial. Today I blog. 00:32:47 Isabelle-Louisa Robert Bartolo-Treyborac: As a mum, writing the toddlers stories to the grand mothers 20 years ago… so precious 00:33:16 Monica Woods: Renee, what is the name/link to your blog? I'd love to read it! 00:33:20 Donna Stearns: Donna here, I journal my prayers on a daily basis. It keeps me in touch with who God is and what He is doing in my life and the world. 00:33:34 Kristy: Karen, if Lisa can write SAT questions, and it counts, then medical reports probably count. 00:33:43 Karen C: phew 00:33:53 Lila Diller: You can observe anything that goes on around home, even. 00:34:00 Carol: Depending on the degree of writing I need to do, depends on which coffeeshop I go to (or use to) some I tend to be more distracted in eavesdropping. than others. :) 00:34:07 Kelly Duncan: My journaling keeps my pen to paper and helps with the discipline of writing. It keeps some of my anecdotes from being lost and fodder for future writing. I have clues to look for. SI--story idea; D--devotional,... 00:34:35 Kristy: Don't just write what you know, write what you love. 00:35:18 Kristy: I've heard, what makes you angry? What makes you want to say something? 00:41:11 Carol: ugh. distractions. even for a virtual conference I should have gone to a hotel lol. 00:41:36 Kristy: Pray for Lisa's upcoming deadline please. 00:41:42 Cynthia Stroop: Carol - lol! 00:44:20 Renee Lee: Lisa I was a history and English teacher.

And now...others are not happy with me. huge sigh. 00:47:13 Carol: the upside to interruptions are the replays to catch what we miss. 00:47:17 Isabelle-Louisa Robert Bartolo-Treyborac: This is similarity to Jesus to a broken world, thank you Lisa, I get the picture 00:47:44 susan: true! haha 00:48:36 Penny: Ahhh...hugs, Lisa.
