The healing power of self-observation is one powerful reason so many adults are turning to journal writing today. Yet even the most conscientious journal-keepers have dry periods, and beginners often find themselves wishing for some help when their motivation to write is at a low ebb. Your Corner of the Universe gives these writers what they need. Whether the aim is to resolve past conflicts, overcome dependency, handle stress, satisfy a creative urge, work out self-correction, help resolve major life decisions, set life goals, or simply celebrate time and events in a lasting way, Campbell¡¯s book offers helpful, usable advice. Readers will find in its ten detailed chapters a welcome infusion of patience and perseverance, and dozens of specific journal exercises for writers at all levels.

Tina and Riley, her faithful dog, share memories together on a cold, snowy night. As Tina looks on an electronic tablet, Riley remembers in a "child-like" variation. They share memories like the first time they met at the animal shelter, the time Riley was in a doggy fashion show, and much more. Though the memories are the same, their perspectives and feelings are a little different. This book will teach children about emotions, and to see things from another point of view. Take a stroll down memory lane with Tina and Riley.
