First Annual Journaling Expo Set for January 13

Jan. 3, 2013 - PRLog -- The First Annual Journaling Expo, an online event, is scheduled for Sunday, January 13, 2013, from 3pm to 6pm EST.

The event is sponsored and produced by three leading experts in personal journaling, and includes tips and teachings from several additional journal writing gurus.

Mari L. McCarthy of CreateWriteNow.com, Sam Lytle of EasyJournaling.com, and Yvonne Root of JournalInABox.com are the featured speakers. Hosted by Lytle, the afternoon of journaling explorations includes teleseminars, question and answer sessions, free bonuses, and a Twitter chat (#JournalingExpo).

McCarthy starts off the afternoon with a discussion about what journaling is, and is not. Though similar in ways to blogging, McCarthy emphasizes that journal writing is a personal, private practice and tool for successful living.

Following McCarthy’s presentation, Yvonne Root presents a session on Journaling and Productivity, with secrets for using a personal journaling practice to reach goals, both personal and professional.

The afternoon’s final presentation comes from Sam Lytle, who will discuss key reasons to journal and how to fit journaling into an already busy life.

All three speakers will be available throughout the event for discussion and answering questions.

Additional information about journaling is available at the event website, including a number of videos about creating and keeping a journal and blog posts on the subject, shared by a wide variety of journaling experts.

The Expo is recommended for:

Anyone interested in learning more about personal journaling;
Journalers who would like to interact with other people who journal;
People who want to reach a goal;
People who want to arrive at a better understanding of a situation;
Those who seek greater self-discovery;
