Renew and Rejuvenate: Journaling in the New Year – 2026
How would you like to move into 2026?
Would you like to let go of the old and cultivate a refreshed, rejuvenated mindset?
Embrace the new year with a sense of renewal in this replenishing and inspirational 5-week journaling series. Reflective writing is a powerful yet gentle tool for self-discovery. Together, we’ll create a meaningful journaling practice designed to nurture mindfulness, uncover what truly matters, embrace challenges, and set intentions for the year ahead. You’ll explore a variety of journaling techniques that will offer fresh perspectives and deeper clarity.
This 5-week series is scheduled for Wednesday evenings from 6-7:30 p.m., from January 6 through February 4, 2026, in Grand Junction, CO. Exact address sent after registration.
Register today to start your new year refreshed! $79 for the series.
Journaling Retreat: Time to Take Care of You!
I’m planning a 4-hour retreat for early spring, perhaps April or May 2026, in the Grand Valley area. It will be a day of journaling-related self-care, where we not only learn and practice a variety of journaling techniques, but we’ll also make a simple journal (no art experience required), we’ll enjoy refreshments, and we’ll have a chance to connect with others. I may have other self-care opportunities, too. This plan hinges on whether there is enough interest and participation! I will need at least 10 people to make this feasible. Interested? Get added to the waiting list here.

What are people saying about my journaling sessions?
I recently completed Melody Jones’ “Renew and Rejuvenate Journaling series” and greatly recommend it for anyone wanting to go deeper into self-discovery through journaling. Melody is an astute observer with a natural ability to individualize her guidance. Through her thoughtful, soul-searching questions, she both challenged and inspired me to move forward in my own personal growth. Melody managed with her quick wit and sense of humor, as we pulled up our dregs, to inspire chuckles and laughter and keep things real! I left each class wanting to turn around and go back. Whether you are new to journaling or want to deepen your experience, take this class from Melody Jones! – Terri Racette
