I can remember the first time I tried it…. I was nervous. Filled with apprehension. Everybody warned me about the dangers of sharing too much. Worried about all the what if’s. What if someone finds it? For I am sure to be judged and my most intimate, deepest desires and dreams will be on display. As my mind wandered down this rabbit hole, I wrote anyway. As I wrote I could feel myself being lifted to a place of inner peace. Shear Euphoria.
Now I am addicted to the quiet time, a cup of coffee in my mug and a devotional to kick off my day. They can be words of affirmations or biblical scriptures that remind me that happiness is my responsibility. My journals nurture, encourage and help me organize my day to maximize my productivity.
