SOULFULLIVING.COM -- A MONTHLY OASIS FOR
HEALING & JOY
April Issue Explores the Healing Power of
Written Self-Expression
LOS ANGELES, CA, April 1, 2000 – SoulfulLiving.com, a new online guide for whole life living, brings an oasis for
healing and joy to the Internet each month, as it explores
unique themes of soulful interest, with highly regarded
experts and best-selling authors, in a peaceful and
meaningful, online environment.
Launched January 1, 2000, its mission is to become the
premier online destination for the community of 24 million
adults, highly concerned with self-actualization,
spirituality, self-expression, ecological sustainability, and
women’s issues, that make up the "Core" group of
Cultural Creatives, a subculture of "leading-edge"
thinkers and creators, as defined by sociologist Paul H. Ray,
Ph.D.
The April issue encourages visitors to look inward and take
pen to paper, as it explores "Writing for Reflection and
Intention." Medical research has shown that the simple
act of writing one’s personal thoughts and feelings can
improve mental, as well as physical health. This month’s
group of experts suggests that writing can benefit the spirit,
as well. April’s expert contributors include:
Henriette Anne Klauser, Ph.D, one of America's leading
authorities on communications and writing productivity and
author of the best-selling books Writing on Both Sides of the
Brain (HarperCollins, 1987, now in its 20th printing) and Put
Your Heart on Paper (Bantam, 1995, now in its 6th printing).
Her newest book, Write it Down, Make it Happen (Simon &
Schuster, 2000) is now available. Henriette is the president
of Writing Resources, a seminar and consulting organization in
existence since 1979. http://www.henrietteklauser.com
