Reading List by Rochelle Dsouza - Year 2022 Week June 7th, 2022

Hello everyone! 

How have all of you been? 

Apologies for being a day late. I had an amazing but tiring weekend, taking classes and attending some for my own personal growth. I attended a workshop on Therapeutic Creating Writing and learnt the power of using humour, writing haikus and dialogues, sitting quietly to heal and rejuvenate. It was truly a wonderful experience and much needed. 

The most important lesson through the workshop was experiencing the power of writing. I hope to write more and perhaps even share some things that I write. 

Hope you had a restful or an eventful weekend
