You Want Me To Do What?
Journaling for Caregivers
by b. lynn goodwin
Remember the little Golden Books from the ‘40s, ‘50s and ‘60s? I'm not sure they are still around, but You Want
Me To Do What? Journaling for Caregivers is about the same size (though thicker) and likely to be just as
memorable for what it can do for caregivers.
The author of this book is b. lynn goodwin (who doesn't capitalize her name, perhaps from a sense of being humble).
In the title, she has anticipated the reaction that one might hear from a harried caregiver when told that journaling
can be a life-giving aspect of successful healing. In all the daily hubbub—the comings-and-goings of one’s
regular duties in addition to the responsibility of caring for another—it is easy to forget to pay attention
to one’s self.
Written to appeal to someone who has never written or journaled before, this book will nonetheless find its place
as a treasure on the shelves of experienced writers. There are prompts, and pages for notes and quotations. There is
also hope and love and, yes, caring. It may be the perfect dose of inspiration for a caregiver—experienced
writer or not. |
