To live a well balanced, rewarding life of our dreams by day and sleep restfully at night.
What are you welcoming into your life right now? A journal writing exercise
Published May 4, 2011 | 
To welcome something takes an openness: an open heart, spirit, arms, mind, etc. To sincerely welcome something also includes a good dose of enthusiasm.
What we focus on grows. What are you welcoming and what would you like to welcome in if you could not hold yourself back? Hmm…?
Ready, set, write!
My entry tonight may look like this:
I welcome into my life right now:
1. Love
2. Opportunities to write and get paid for my writing.
3. New friends!
4. Freedom to live life on my terms
5. Abundance: good food, good relationships, good projects, good financial prospects
6. Adventure!
Have a blessed evening, friends.

Ten things I am thankful for today: a gratitude journal entry
Published November 24, 2010 | 
Thinking of the many blessings in our life is a guaranteed feel-good activity. Keeping a gratitude journal helps us to focus on what we are thankful for on a more regular and consistent basis.
Today, this is what my gratitude list would look like:
I am thankful for:
- My fiance and our loving, peaceful, and beautiful life we have together.
- Having a few days off from work for this Thanksgiving holiday.
- My health
- My job
- My new friends I am making on Twitter. Connecting with these wonderful people is incredible.
- My writing- creating and reaching out to others is the best.
- My parents
- Both of my football teams are doing well (Oklahoma State and University of Oklahoma). I attended both schools.
- Fun plans to go out with the family for pizza tonight.
- My cat Mew who is just pure unconditional love.
Your turn-what are you grateful for today?
Note: a nice book that I have owned for many years to keep a gratitude journal is The Simple Abundance of Gratitude by Sarah Ban Breathnach. At the start of the book she has a list of 150 often overlooked blessings. There is plenty of room for each day of the year to write down what you are thankful for. I started mine back in 1998 and keep adding entries each year in the side margins or wherever I can find the space. It is fun to reflect back on the richness of my blessed life during its many varied stages and experiences.
Have a blessed day. I am thankful for all of you, dear Warm Milk Journal readers!

Celebrating The Abundance Of The Fall Season
Published November 7, 2010 | 
Here at the Warm Milk Journal we aspire to live the most fulfilling lives by day and sleep restfully at night.
I just love the Fall season and I think this season is the perfect time to work on these goals. As a kid, Fall was about new fresh beginnings: a new school year, new school supplies, new clothes, a new age (I am a September birthday).
As an adult I can appreciate so much more about this season such as:
- The softer sun light
- The cooler temperatures
- Cooking and eating soup!
- Blankets
- Cups of tea and coffee
- A hearty red wine at night
- Rich colors of red and gold
- Warmer bed linens for our beds
- Cuddling with our sweetie to keep us warm
- Football and good movies
As we fall back an hour this weekend, let’s enjoy the abundance this marvelous season has to offer us.
