Journaling is...
Journaling is writing the story of your life.
It is where you share your memories, lessons learned, and goals.
A Journal is where you remember the past, live intentionally in the moment, and plan for the future.
A journal is a story of your life and all of your: thoughts, prayers, emotions, choices, dreams, people, possessions, challenges, faith (and lack thereof at times), critters (pets), stress, experiences, grief, photographs, births, art, books, realization, anniversaries, movies, new beginnings (starting over/trying again), TV shows, counted blessings, to do's, frustrations, music, work/employment/career, celebration, venting, death, marriage, separation, divorce, creative thought, song, poetry, happiness, friends, family, school, church, military life, exercise, food, recollections, homes, houses, vacations/travel, etc.
Journaling is where you learn and re-learn your priorities and live them.
So, again, I say that journaling is writing the story of your life--and everyone and everything your life includes.

3 New Books on Journaling on Smashwords
I have three new journaling books published on Smashwords. They are edited and are ready for purchase. Check it out at the link below.
The books are:
~ THE 1-YEAR REMEMBERING YOUR PRESENT JOURNAL
~ THE 5-YEAR REMEMBERING YOUR PRESENT JOURNAL
~ THE 10-YEAR REMEMBERING YOUR PRESENT JOURNAL
*** Note: I have another book I am in the process of writing. It's called: ETC. ETC. ETC. JOURNALING PROMPTS
If you have never journaled before, or do not do it every day, I recommend the 10-Year book.
If you journal quite a bit, and want to daily, try the 10-year and the 5-year.
If you journal every day, and want to get as much as possible out of it, I recommend the 1-year, plus the other two.
For any experience level, I will recommend the journaling prompts book.
These three books (plus the 4th) will be available in the next 6 weeks or so, to buy on Amazon--as a paperback book.
The covers above are for the Smashwords versions of these books.

I am tired
There is something I've come to realize. I'm tired. Worn-out. Burned out. And need a break.
I also realize I have let my priorities slip.
What are my priorities?
~ God (prayer and Bible study)
~ Husband
~ Home
~ Personal Journalkeeping
~ Teaching/Writing about Journalkeeping & Memoir Writing
~ Writing Fiction/Novels
The truth of the matter is my personal and professional first love is journaling. Period. End of story.
Yesterday, I started to reassess. Today, I've done more of it.
I am going to take a break and get back to my professional first love. Hence, you'll see that in this blog for a while. I am not sure how much of a break I will need I still am burning with the desire to write the sci-fi series based off my ancestors. But, for now, I need to journal--and devote great amounts of time to that. So, I am.
Starting with the post after this one, you are going to get a lot of information about journalkeeping (journaling).

Journaling: 2 New Series Coming Out
SILLINESS AND CRAZINESS ABOUND
I am probably crazy and out of my mind.
No. Who am I kidding? I am nuts--and glutton for punishment I cannot deny this, as much as I would like to do so.
So, why am I crazy today? Or, maybe I should say more appropriately, Why am I more crazy today than normal?
(Hint) You might have guessed from the title of this blog post why I said all of this.
THE END OF YEAR
This morning, after writing 2,000 words of my novel, I started to think about journaling... And that started this whole mess. (I laugh at myself. After all, if you cannot laugh at yourself, then who can you? Never mind how boring life must be.)
I started to think of a new journal I wanted. No. That isn't accurate. I started to think of three new journals I wanted.
I looked online to see if there was anything on the market like what I wanted.
No.
Terrific. (That was sarcastic, in case you couldn't guess.)
That meant only one thing...
I had to write the books myself.
So, I am in the process of doing precisely that. I have the first book already completed and am getting ready to send it in to Amazon/CreateSpace so it can be produced as a paperback. Also, I am putting it on my Smashwords store as we speak.
My goal is to offer these books in every possible ebook format available and on Amazon and on Kindle.
I will keep you updated.
WHAT ARE THE THREE BOOKS?
~ 1-Year Remembering Your Present Journal
~ 5-Year Remembering Your Present Journal
~ 10-Year Remembering Your Present Journal
These are three very different books. If you are a nut about journaling, like I am, I recommend all three. If you have never journaled before, I recommend the 10-year one. If you are not a novice journal, but want something more, I recommend the 5-year journal.
