About Me

Slightly-starved writer with a belly full of ideas.

My name is Eldonna Edwards Bouton and I'm the author of two journaling books: "Journaling from the Heart: A Writing Workshop in Three Parts" and" Loose Ends: A Journaling Tool for Tying up the Incomplete Details of Your Life and Heart".

I initially created This is My Body, This is My Blood to open an honest dialogue between my mind and its ongoing relationship with this body as we lean closer to the fifty-year mark. Over time, the blog has evolved from a log of physiological and emotional changes, to a place for reflection on life as a woman, a mother, a lover, a sister, a daughter, a writer, and a massage therapist. My hope is this site will inform and entertain, while also serving as a forum for readers with similar interests and challenges.

Recently, I opened a second weblog, Journaling from the Heart, as a vehicle to offer my writing workshops. I plan to run them on an ongoing basis, so check back often for new beginnings.

Thank you for stopping by. I hope you'll consider purchasing one or both (see link on sidebar for more info) of these books to help fund my current novel-writing project. I appreciate your comments and although I'm not able to respond to each on individually, I read every one and am sincerely grateful for your presence here.
