Writing from The Heart

"Writing from The Heart" is a workshop on creative writing, creative drawing, and creative drama. There are three available versions of this workshop: one for beginners on the secondary, tertiary, and graduate levels, and another for practitioners. A third version of this workshop is designed as an outreach program to disadvantaged and underserved audiences such as the disabled, the poor and the marginalized, victims of human trafficking, battered women and abused children, drug rehabilitation center residents, child combatants, children in conflict with the law, prisoners, and gang leaders. This third version incorporates creativity and problem awareness, conflict resolution, crisis intervention, trauma therapy, and peacemaking.

A writer always wakes up in the morning to a new day and a new life.

Never wake up to the past, to losses, to bereavements, to broken relationships. That would be equivalent to reading the same chapter in a book over and over again.

Always turn the page and move on.

Each day of your existence is a spiritual reincarnation. Face the blank canvas and the blank sheet of paper every morning with love and with hope, for there will be time enough to enjoy the gifts of the universe as well as make up for your shortcomings before the sun sets once again.
