L.I.T. News - Writing Therapy - Issue 75


Reader,

Welcome to another issue of L.I.T. News. I'm excited to continue the topic of communication, specifically emphasizing the importance of how we communicate with ourselves. YOU are important, and it's necessary to check in with yourself regularly. Personally, I've found writing to be a therapeutic way to do so. And since sharing is caring, I've taken the liberty to share a little of what I've found to be true about writing therapy.

So, please check out issue 75 of the newsletter -- hot off the online press:

LIT News - Feb 2026 Issue 75.pdf

You'll find the following for your reading pleasure:

  • a brief announcement about "The Degrees of Maternity Summer Reading Program"
  • 17 sentences about "Writing Therapy"
  • a healthy habit, involving writing tips for Writing Therapy
  • a summary of Chapter 13 of Atomic Habits
  • blog posts from the Degrees of Maternity blog

​And, here's last month's issue in case you missed it:

May one of your goals for the coming weeks be one of blessing your days with some much-needed writing therapy -- all for YOU.

Until next time . . .

Degrees of Maternity

Hi there! I'm Jana (Yahna) Williams.

Welcome to a cozy place to hang out, where life education never ceases. Every 4th Sunday of the month, we’ll explore the areas of personal and professional development with an underlying theme of reading and writing for growth and healing. (I'm a HUGE literacy advocate! And, literacy is intertwined in just about everything I do here online. Take, for instance, the L.I.T. News Newsletter that I hope you'll choose to peruse. The "L.I.T" in the newsletter name is representative of Life-Improvement Training -- which we do a lot of around these parts -- as well as my love of all things literacy.) Just know that, as a content creator, I have a passion for educating others through positive, encouraging, and life-impacting content. Words are powerful once delivered. So, let’s enjoy their empowerment for the good, as we travel this life-improvement journey together.

Reader, It's back-to-school time in the U.S., and I'm ramping up for a new school year of reading instruction for the children I'll have the privilege of tutoring. Exciting stuff, indeed! I'm expecting to see some returning students and to meet a whole new crew, as well. And with all the newness a fresh school year brings, I have my work cut out for me in getting myself situated for some new goal setting, prepping the goal mindset, and actively working toward carrying out my goal plan(s). So,...

Reader, Today's issue of the L.I.T.

I know you have things to do, places to go, and people to see. So, I intend to get right to the "content" matter. Check out the newest issue, issue 79 of the newsletter, (directly) below: LIT News - Jul 2026 Issue 79.pdf You can find the following in today's newsletter:...

Reader, Let me just start by saying, "Thank YOU" for being here. I'm absolutely thrilled to be sharing this month's L.I.T. News Newsletter with you. We're finally getting back into our goal-setting/achievement and communication discussions. And, I'm so incredibly happy about that. I need to keep myself accountable for GETTING THINGS DONE! So, reminders about getting and staying on track when it comes to desired outcomes, are always welcome. I've actually been pretty aggressive with the...
