Mari’s Journaling Power Journey

Founder and Personal Growth Mentor of CreateWriteNow.com
“If It Ain’t A Challenge, I Ain’t Interested”

Twenty-seven years ago, I lost feeling and function in the right side of my body due to an MS (Multiple Sclerosis) symptom flare-up. The cocktail of BigPharma prescription drugs and specialist visits weren’t nowhere close to healing my health challenges. At All. 

One day, a friend introduced me to “Morning Pages,” from Julia Cameron’s book, The Artist’s Way. Morning Pages are three pages of longhand, stream-of-consciousness writing, done first thing each day.

MORE THAN PHYSICAL THERAPY

At first, I viewed the exercise as solely physical therapy to teach myself how to write with my left hand. But I soon noticed how journaling eased my mental, emotional, and spiritual pains too!  I realized that Journaling was the personal growth tool that I needed to heal my diseases and create the life I wanted to live: A happy, healthy life that now includes being a professional singer and leading the CreateWriteNow Journaling Power Community..

Today, I’m the multi-award-winning author of Journaling Power: How To Create The Happy, Healthy Life You Want To Live, Heal Your Self With Journaling Power; and Mindset Medicine: A Journaling Power Self-Love Book. I'm currently at work on the 10th anniversary edition of Journaling Power: How To Create The Happy, Healthy Life You Want To Live  which I'll publish in Fall, 2026.

I’ve also created 20+ Journaling Power Workbooks including, Who Am I?, Journal Magic For Writers, Love Your Body and Change Your Life in 15 Days.

I haven't used any Big Pharma or OTC drugs in over 20 years, eat clean, sugar-free, dairy-free, gluten and grain-free foods, sleep 8-9 hours each night and have a 4+ octave vocal range (eat your heart out Mariah Carey!) which  I showcase in public performances and my albums.

I hold individual Journaling Power Sessions with clients who want to learn how to use Journaling For The Health Of It® to heal, grow and transform their life!

Thanks to Journaling For The Health Of It®️ I've rediscovered my desire to be a real singer. With lessons from New York Vocal Coaching and practice, practice, practice, I'm now a 5 octave vocal athlete and an accomplished recording artist.

“Gosh Mari, this is so beautiful. Pretty music to journal to. Your legacy grows! Thank you for being true to your craft.”
