Welcome
When I think about the "future" that automatically includes the children of today. We must, as a village, equip/support/nurture our "future".... today. During these times, children are enduring so much hurt and unexposed pain. This journal is a daily "vacation" and safe haven for our children. It is our duty to provide

Greetings!!
Thank you so much for trusting me to provide this journal as: an accountability partner (to help you through tough times), self-esteem booster (you are more than enough), a goal-setting partner (write it down and watch you accomplish it) and a safe haven for your feelings (sometimes we do not want to talk to an actual person”). Again, THANK YOU!!
I started thinking about the daily journey students take. As I pondered, it came to me like “POW... write a journal”. Thing is, I have NEVER used a daily journal or blogged... ironic right?! I prefer to talk to people whether in person or via phone. However, there are some students who do not feel “safe” talking, don’t feel like they have “friends”, or just like to keep their thoughts internal... this journal is for ALL OF YOU! It will help you capture your daily thoughts and ideas all while helping you “THINK IT THROUGH”. Sometimes, even as an adult, I find myself feeling bombarded but when I sit and think through what I am feeling and what needs to be done... I accomplish it. All “Because I Can Do It” and so can you!
Again, I appreciate you and if no one has said “I love you” today... here it is “I LOVE YOU and you are MORE THAN ENOUGH”. This world needs you, your ideas, your love and most of all your presence.
Lastly, this is dedicated to my son, “Greyson”. I want you to always know that you are more than enough. You matter and do not ever forget that. You are loved and always be “light” even in this dark world, shine bright, Son. Mommy loves you always and forever!
Enjoy,

Always... ALWAYS find a reason to smile!!
Sometimes life is not as exciting or interesting as we would prefer. However, if just pause for a moment we will realize one thing... there is life in our body! That alone is a reason to smile!!
