Who said you can only journal about the past or only tell stories that actually happen…?
Try a different approach.
Make a layout which is all about what you WISH would have happened or will happen.
Make it as probable or as far fetched as you wish – as long as you are setting your wish-bone free…
My journaling reads:
Somewhere in a place far far away dreams come true. Somewhere up up in the sky there is a truth only the purest people can observe. Somewhere your look can be deciphered and your wishes are loud and clear. Somewhere. I wish it was here…

To jump start your wishing process, share one wish with me?
What is the first wish that comes to your mind right now? Leave a comment and wish along with me.

In the process of sharing a few random facts about me I fell through a time loop and suddenly found myself five-years-old again. Yes, this is me in the picture. My parents took this picture because I fell asleep while reading a book. Soon enough I will never go to sleep without having 7-8 books around (I got bored reading just one at a time).
Well, when I was a small child I would NOT go to sleep without having my mom sending me to dreamland.
Each and every night (unless I fell asleep while reading) she had to put me in an envelope (i.e. cover me with my blanket), write the address on my back and put on a stamp (i.e. a kiss). Then she HAD to say – in this specific order – “Good night. Sweet dreams”.
Any modification of that formula resulted in severe sleeplessness and endless nagging. [I was such a lovely child to raise, wasn't I?]
I remember how one night my mom was out on a work-trip and my dad had to send me to dreamland…
Now, to understand that properly you must know that my dad is a physicist and the notion of dreamland by itself is way out of his comfort zone.
However, as my dad is a realist, and comfort zone or not, having an extremely annoying child up until midnight is even farther from his comfort zone, he repeated the formula to a ‘t’ and sent me to dreamland. Only much to his chagrin, I had found a discrepancy and refused to go to sleep.
Those were the days…
I wish I will keep this memory close to my heart forever and ever.

As far as journaling is concerned stop being so serious about it. Not every story has to be a masterpiece worthy of a Pulitzer prize.
Your sense of humor is also a part you would probably like to preserve for posterity.
Humor is especially called for in layouts featuring photos you took to capture a moment in life, rather than an actual story, a piece rather than the whole. When you look at your layouts you can remind yourself of that humorous moment or silly piece of life and read your journaling and have a good laugh.
After all, what more can you ask from a layout than making you feel better at time of distress?
My journaling reads:
The first step to a successful recovery is admitting you have a problem. I admit no such thing! I have absolutely no problem. It is completely reasonable to have a shoe to match every piece of clothing you own. It is totally natural to covet each shoe you see and do not already possess. It is purely logical to assume that painting your toe nails and wearing high heal studded shoes is enough to be considered fully clothed. It is customary to wear red open toe 5 inch heal and a patent leather flower to go grocery shopping, oh and it is totally acceptable to wear flip flops to negotiation meetings. All shoes are created equal. Yes. I do not have any problem!

Digi Tip
To create the “stitched” strike-through line over the word ‘addiction’ in my title I used various pieces of the stitches image. All I did was to select a piece of the image with the rectangular selection tool and than with the move tool, to pick up the selected piece and lay it down on the title, next to the original image, slightly down. Than I used the move tool to nudge it sideways and repeated the process with another piece of the image. That gives the illusion of the sewing machine running back and forth. Sort of…

Today I ask you to please:
Give yourself permission to reach for the rainbow.
Give yourself permission to dream big and aspire to make all your dreams come true.
Give yourself permission to climb mountains and run marathons and lie by the beach with a book.
Give yourself permission to love truly and unconditionally and utterly.
Give yourself permission to be loved, appreciated and even admired.
Give yourself permission to laugh until you are in tears.
Give yourself permission to cry your heart out and go through an entire box of tissues.
Give yourself permission to wear nice clothes, wear make up and do your hair, even if you stay at home.
Give yourself permission to go to work in your flip flops, no make up and feel beautiful.
Give yourself permission to make silly faces.
Give yourself permission to express your thoughts and ideas.
Give yourself permission to live out loud.
Because any other way of living is a waste of time.
Share
What are you going to give yourself permission to do today? I urge you to share and hold yourself accountable to at least one token of loud living.
Back when we were kids creativity came naturally to us. Everything was possible and our prolific imagination was the only limit we knew.
Through the years we have grown apart from our inner creative child and along with that – have lost our pristine and utter joy of creation.
In this e-book I will pave your way back to your inner creative child, brick by brick.
“Unleashing The Creative Child Within You” will explain why you became distant from your core creativity and will reveal the secret to getting it back.
With exercises designed specifically to help you find the inner child within you, regain its confidence and unleash it – you are bound to get your mojo back faster than you think.
Your inner creative child wants to come out and play, so don’t disappoint it and get “Unleashing The Creative Child Within You“.

I often ponder what is life all about?
I am always looking for an extraordinary purpose or a “bigger than life” goal.
I usually get frustrated. I feel small. I feel weak.
Then I realize that life is all about living.
Life is not about reaching the landmark but about each and every step you take.
Life, at the moment is hectic and overwhelming and challenging.
I find it difficult do go to sleep because I feel like staying awake may freeze time.
I dread tomorrows.
Then I pause.
Take a deep breath.
And remind myself that life is all about living.
It is about enjoying the moment.
It is about appreciating everything I have.
Being grateful for my wonderful relationship with my husband.
Being thankful for my amazing family and awesome friends.
Life is all about living. Life is awesome.
So please bear with me…
