Every month, Natural Solutions Magazine prints a column called "My First Time," which features stories from readers about something new they've done to better their health or enhance their well-being.
Given my own profound need to write my way through life, I thought it was a wonderful coincidence that their featured story this month—the month they approached us as a community sponsor!—was titled "
Ink Therapy." It was a piece by a man who'd started journalling as a way to get through a difficult transition, and he shared, poignantly, how this new practice had allowed him to let go of hundreds of worries and fears, and how moving his dreams and uncertainties from where they were trapped in his heart onto the pages in front of him ended up deeply affecting his life. (Maybe you can relate?)
It was a wonderful piece, and beautifully represented the sort of articles the magazine includes.
If you'd like to get your own sample of the magazine (and find out what the next 'first time' will be...), you're in luck: Natural Solutions has offered, as part of their sponsorship,
a no-risk trial issue for Gaia members, and all you need to do to get your sample issue is
visit the subscription page here. (If it's your first time learning about the publication, well, maybe you'll have your own story to submit. ;)
And if you do sign up, let them know you found them through Gaia. They've been a wonderful support.
To new futures and new worlds and, of course and as always, to trying new things...
Siona PS. If there's something new you've tried recently that has changed your life in some surprising way, please please please don't be shy about hitting reply and sharing it here. I'd (quite obviously) love to read a few more of those stories—especially if they're from one of you. :)
