Did you ever think about writing a journal?
If you have thought about it, then go for it!
I can tell you a little bit about how mine began
and how it is now!
My journal was unexpected and unplanned.
I began my journal on January 17, 1994. And
I am now on my 19th journal.
I have explained in "Lori Foster's Story" about
how my husband and I had seen a white glow
on our bedroom wall. You can find
Lori Foster's Story underneath My Favorites.
You will see how I had to use my daughter's
preschool paper for my first page.

Writing in a journal is an awesome experience
between you and God.
It allows you to write down important events
past, present and sometimes future.
It's important to know there are no right or
wrong ways to write in your journal.
If you mess up that's O-k! It's your journal!
There are some key factors I believe to be
very important! Writing down dates are
a must! It gives you a timeline of where
you are and where you had been in the past.
It's important to know you don't have to write
in your journal every day and you don't have to
write a full page. Sometimes you will only have
a small paragraph and sometimes you will have
several pages.
If you make an error, you can simply cross it out
and re-write your word. If you want to be on the
neater side; have some white-out nearby.
It's your writings and do it your way!
You can choose to use fancy journals to write
in or simply notebook paper.
I personally write my journals in a five star
college ruled notebook. It has pockets inside
and you can use them to store important cards,
notes etc....
You can add your own personal touch throughout
your writings. If it's a moment of happiness
add a smiley face or even a cross.
If it's a sad event or topic you can add
a handmade crown of thorns or crosses
as well.
If your writing is very important, you may
want to place a handmade Star beside your
date. Be certain to make your symbol large
enough to be seen. I often place my symbols
near the date.
You can place handmade crosses,
near birthdays, weddings, graduations, and
funerals, etc.....
If you wish to use stickers that would
be perfect as well.
I find it best to leave your journal out where
you will be reminded. Maybe, on your kitchen
or dining room table or bedside.
However, if you want it to be more hidden,
place it in a nearby drawer where you will
be reminded and develop a routine in your
journaling.
Journaling should never feel like a chore
but I must tell you it takes discipline.
You must write down the number of
your journal! I write my number with
a marker on the front of my journal.
As you begin collecting your journals
place them in a safe box with a lid.
If you wish to type your journal that
is perfectly fine as well. Be sure
to place your pages in a large folder
and number your pages and clip them
all together.
It's so satisfying to be able to look back
at them over time. Also, you may need to know
a date of an important event and
it can be found in your journal!
I also, find it a good idea to keep your
previous complete journal with your current one.
I usually leave the current one I'm writing in
with my last journal. You may have to refer to something
in the most recent dates and events that have taken place.
Journaling gives you strength and courage, and keeps you
more in tune with daily events. Journaling can help you
with your fears and anxieties. It allows you to read what
you were afraid of, and what or if any did you do something
about it.
All your written journals should never be separated. Your
writings are yours and you are in charge of them.
In our writings we will find our weaknesses and that's perfectly
fine. Because our writings will become our steppingstones
to help better ourselves over time.
Be proud of your writings even if they are painful at times.
Pray to Our Lord and speak to him through your writings!
May God Bless You Always,
Lori Foster
Note: Now write your 1st journal+
