"I took Nancy’s journal writing class and thoroughly enjoyed what I learned about the 18 different techniques for journal writing. Nancy is an excellent teacher and facilitator, and seemed to explain so effortlessly the techniques. I could tell that she has used these numerous times in her own journal, and was well versed in how we might apply these to our own journals. She is a gifted writer and teacher and I highly recommend her and this class to anyone who is interested in learning some very creative ways to write and journal." -Mark
