Journey Forward: How to Use Journaling to Envision and Manifest the Life You Always Wanted

Journey Forward is a collection of future-looking journal entries. Instead of focusing on yesterday and what has gone by, use these entries as imaginative writings of a desired best life.

The authors present weekly journal entries with reflections and action items that abide by the Law of Attraction, the Growth Mindset theory, and the Reticular Activating System science. Journey Forward illustrates, using 55 examples, that where we are in the flesh today does not have to be our life sentence. Journey Forward confirms the phrase, "as a person thinketh in their heart so are they."

If you are battling depression and anxiety, Journey Forward could also be a valuable tool.

Finally, there is a book from a relatable, everyday person, someone who, like you, understands that the mind does not place any limitations on our dreams. Journey Forward confirms that we alone put restrictions on our reality when we unnecessarily limit the boldness of our aspirations. Using this book, you'll learn how to remove the limitations on your mind so that you can begin the journey forward towards life's most imaginative possibilities.

Educator. Counselor. Minister. Speaker. Coach. Mindfulness trainer. These are just a few of the terms that describe Robin E. Henderson-Wilson, Ph.D.'s professional accomplishments. As a recognized leader in education, Robin now adds author to her growing list of achievements. Journey Forward is her first publication. However, the countless number of journals around her house proves that she has been a life-long writer. Robin is a hard-working, tenacious, and inspiring professional who has committed her life's work to empower those around her to think big and to dream even bigger. This fearless approach to leadership and life can be traced back to Robin's beginnings in Gary, Indiana. As the only child of a strong, industrious mother, Robin learned the value of hard work and determination early in life. Early on, Robin displayed an innate leadership ability that would follow her through her adolescent years and during her pursuit of an undergraduate degree at Butler University and her subsequent graduate degrees at Indiana University (M.S. in Counseling) and Ball State University (Ph.D. in Education). Robin is a dedicated and compassionate leader who dares those around her to take risks. She has recently teamed up with Mindful Momentum to develop a program that will empower leaders to combine leadership skills and mindfulness to propel their organizations forward. Robin's charismatic personality and innovative ideas have established her as a highly sought-after speaker, consultant, counselor, and educator. She is a forward-thinking, conscientious individual who consistently challenges herself and those around her. Although Robin is a highly accomplished individual, she continues to push herself to keep striving, to keep achieving, and to show up as her best self every single day through her "Journey Forward."

Nathaniel A Turner is the author of multiple books, including the history-making Raising Supaman.

Baltimore, Maryland Keva (Michelle) Richardson is more than an educator and artist. Keva believes her life's purpose is to be an outward expression of her God-given gifts. The Towson University alum leans on her faith for life meaning and structure. Keva finds direction and solace, especially in 1 Timothy 4:12 & 16, "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and purity; watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them because if you do, you will save both yourself & your hearers." In the tradition of Lois Mailou Jones, Elizabeth Catlett & Alma Thomas, Keva acts as both artist and educator, using her art and teaching ability to educate, inspire, and transform the lives of all those with whom she comes in contact. Whether in the classroom or gallery, students and art patrons alike have an advocate who champions imaginative thinking, the power of creativity, and the rich, diverse expression of all humanity. So, today it comes as no surprise to those who know her best that what was enjoyed originally as a childhood hobby, art, has taken on an entirely different meaning. Nowadays, Keva creates because she understands that she is not merely an extremely talented artist but that using the gift of art in others' service is part of her life's call.
