This has been an exciting year for the #JournalChat Live Community on Social Media. :)
I wanted to take a moment to give a shout out to those who have directly contributed to #JournalChat Live in some way, through direct content, direct live discussion, and through sharing journaling resources for those in our #JournalChat Live community.
Plus I thought a look back with the events that were held can give you an idea of what #JournalChat Live is about, especially if you're new to our community!
I was excited to break new ground with #JournalChat Live DOUBLE FEATURE Events, hosted on both Twitter and Facebook, with a full reach to both audiences and journal keepers.
Our first event was held in January featuring a panel discussion with special guests, Vicki M. Taylor, Naomi Arnold and Rafranz Davis. Our topic was Your Journaling: Life Intentions.
Our second event was held in April featuring a panel discussion with special guests, Madeline Sharples, Debra DiPietro, and Kelly Epperson. Our topic was Your Journaling: Mind Magic.
JUNE was a very special time in the #JournalChat Live Community as we celebrated 5 years of #JournalChat Live! And this was the first time the event was held as an OPEN HOUSE which was a totally new approach to our #JournalChat Live Community! And we had a blast sharing THE GREATEST BENEFIT of our Journaling practice. Here is the commemorative post from that event. Special Thanks to all who contributed to this very special event and celebration!
With Back to School in September, we enjoyed another OPEN HOUSE on Social Media, with folks contributing posts with our topic, Your Journaling: LIFE LESSONS. I shared some special guidelines to give contributors the most visibility for their contribution. A Special Thanks to all who contributed to this event! You can view all of the contributors and their posts here.
It has truly been an exciting and fun #JournalChat Live adventure as we discussed, shared and benefited from our journaling practice and had such delightful camaraderie on Social Media.
If you keep a journal or want to, our #JournalChat Live Facebook Group is an awesome place to find quality journaling content, including journaling and art journaling prompts, blog posts, resources to sign up for, and answers to your journaling questions.
I also wanted to give all of our #JournalChat Live Community Members a heads up about a new venue I am contributing to that you may have heard about: Periscope! Periscope is a Live Broadcast Video medium where you can join the conversation LIVE! Yes! (You have to download the free app on your iPhone or Android device.) My handle you can follow on Periscope is @DawnHerring, and I have shared about My Creative Practice, including my Journaling, Art Journaling, and my watercolor painting. You are welcome to join me there and be a part of the conversation!! I am looking forward to seeing you on Periscope. You can view two of my Periscopes here and here.
So that's a recap of our #JournalChat Live year of 2015.
I so look forward to more OPEN HOUSES and Fabulous sharing on social media wherever you choose to connect.
Just remember, no matter the approach or venue, in our #JournalChat Live Community, YOUR JOURNALING VOICE MATTERS. We want to hear about how journal keeping has had an impact in your life. So, stay tuned for future #JournalChat Live topics, and join our Facebook Group where you can share your journaling content to help other journal keepers and to celebrate how journal keeping can be an empowering practice to help us all leave our meaningful mark in the world!
I wish for you the VERY BEST YEAR OF JOURNALING you've ever had in 2016!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Refresh Journal is Retiring!
Hello to Subscribers and Readers of Refresh Journal:
I wanted to let you know, after 4 years of Creative and Refreshing content for your inbox, I have decided that it's time to Retire Refresh Journal.
Many hours of energy, creativity, thought and implementation have gone in to Refresh Journal with the goal of giving you a fresh perspective in all of life's dimensions.
I wanted to thank all of those who have personally signed up to receive Refresh Journal in your inbox. I appreciate the interest you have shown in keeping up with #JournalChat Events, getting inspiration and encouragement for your journal keeping practice as well as refreshing activities that lift your spirit.
I also wanted to thank those who have read and left comments about how much you have enjoyed the content.
I decided to Retire Refresh Journal for several reasons one of which is to make more time and have more energy for my artistic pursuits, as many of you know of my intuitive watercolor painting and art journaling practices, which I greatly enjoy and I hold very close to my HEART.
In order to Honor changes and shifts taking place in my artistic and family lives, I will focus on the areas of my work that continue to refresh and uplift me as I share with you my creative perspective.
Here are ways you can stay connected with Refresh with Dawn Herring:
First, you can subscribe to Refresh Daily, my newly artistically-focused blog, where I share my artistic point of view in all of life's dimensions, including my art journal process, art journal and journal prompts, my juxtaposition wardrobe designs, my life insights, and my artistic path in general.
Second, you can join our #JournalChat Live Facebook Group where we post journaling prompts, blog posts and articles to help you with your journaling practice and give you inspiration for your next journal entry!
Third, you can connect with me on social media through Your Refreshment Connection! on my website.
And if you're looking to work with me privately to find creative strategies to activate your creative center, you're welcome to check out Your Life Refreshed! or contact me direct at refreshwithdawnherring@gmail.com to get more information.
I'm so excited with the artistic and authentic path I am creating for myself and I'd love to have you come along with me (If you aren't already!).
Thanks for showing interest in the work that I do; I so appreciate your kind and generous feedback!
Have a fabulous day and don't forget to refresh yourself!

#JournalChat Live 5 YEAR CELEBRATION and YOU'RE INVITED!
I AM EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE the #JOURNALCHAT 5 YEAR CELEBRATION COMING IN JUNE, 2015!
Yes, it has been five years that I've hosted #JournalChat Live on Twitter and Facebook. (I did do a stint of it for about 6 months prior to that June but took a school year off before I started in up again as #JournalChat Live. So I'm counting from that re-start, just for your FYI.)
FIVE YEARS! YAY!
So guess what? I'm holding our first OPEN HOUSE to all journal keepers on both Twitter and Facebook! What does OPEN HOUSE mean exactly?
Well, YOU are invited to CONTRIBUTE a blog post on YOUR BLOG to help us CELEBRATE! YES! I'm so excited about this...
Here's what we're going to do:
Our topic for this very special time of CELEBRATING 5 YEARS is Your Journaling: The Greatest Benefit. Yes.
I talk a LOT about the Benefits of journal keeping, don't I? I emphasize what a powerful tool it is!
This is Your Opportunity to share what a powerful tool it is for YOU!
All you need to do is write a blog post detailing the Greatest Benefit you have received from keeping a journal. You can also include your favorite journaling technique to show HOW you use your journal.
Once your #JournalChat 5 Year Celebration blog post is able to be shared, you can tweet the link, post a status box on our #JournalChat Live Facebook Group, or you can email me direct at refreshwithdawnherring@gmail.com to send me a link. I will share links I receive directly by email in a special #JOURNALCHAT 5 YEAR CELEBRATION COMMEMORATIVE BLOG POST that I will share on social media, on my website and in Refresh Journal.
When you post your #JournalChat Live celebratory link on Twitter, please use the #JournalChat hashtag and a #5years hashtag in your tweet and I will Retweet it.
My goal with this #JournalChat Live Open House is to celebrate the benefits of journaling as well as the delightful and insightful content that enhances our thriving journaling and #JournalChat communities.
I want this time to be readily open to all journaling voices so we can all learn from each other as we share our journaling benefits that show was a powerful and life changing tool journal keeping really is.
**I will share some links and RTs on Twitter and Facebook beginning May 18th. So have your blog post ready to share. We will be celebrating throughout the month of June!**
I so appreciate all the fabulous content and the many SPECIAL GUESTS that have joined us Live on Twitter and Facebook who have added their insightful wisdom with journaling and have given us an inside view of their practice so we can learn from them.
