Getting Started with Nature Journaling - the WHY and the HOW step by step (it can change your life!)

William Wordsworth, famous for his daffodils poem, said “Come forth into the light of things. Let nature be your teacher.” He believed that love of the natural environment—parents and home, work and play, animals and his fellow men—is the foundation of all true happiness in a person. Nature journaling is a wonderful way of experiencing and deepening the connection with nature and bringing peace and joy into our lives. Come with me as I share with you my own nature journaling journey.
