The other day I met with a friend for tea, and discussion meandered to the topics of personal growth and journaling. She hadn’t journaled in a long time and wanted to start again.

I also suggested a collage party, or a “bad art” party (where the point is to have fun creating without obsessing over whether it’s good enough). She liked that idea. I know several people who would respond enthusiastically to an invitation. Now I just need to do it.
