On the fifth day my true love brought to me: Five Golden Rings.
When I think of five golden rings, I think of the olympics that just ended in Canada. Since the Olympics alternates and the winter Olympics only happens every four years, it's something you may want to tell your grandkids about.
Today's challenge is an Olympic memorial.
Using markers, crayons, pencil, or pen. Draw five rings representing the Olympics on a page in your journal.
In each ring, write down your top five favorite events you watch or keep tabs on during the Olympics. For example: figure skating, speed skating, cross country sking, luge, and snow boarding.
Anywhere on the page write down the names of atheletes particpating in the 2010 Winter Olympics that you heard about the most. You can even go as far as writing a sentence or two on what you thought about those athletes or the Olympics overall.

March Madness Journal Challenge #2
Yesterday, you spent some time decorating the front cover of your journal and writing your name on the first page. Other than the decorating part, writing your name was pretty simple right?
Today, flip to the next blank page in your journal and do the following:
1. When I was a kid I wanted to be three things when I grew up, I wanted to be a farmer like my dad, a writer, and an olympian equestrain. I got waylaid and became an accountant before realizing I've always been a writer.
Now you, write down and record the three things you wanted to be. Put an astrik beside the one thing you wanted to be most.
2. So what happened? Record why or why not you became those three things.

Coming Soon...March Madness Journal Challenge
Last evening as I sat working on cutting the pages of a new journal I got to thinking. (I know, my husband tells me that can be dangerous - thinking.) March is soon upon us.
It made me think about all the things that happen in the upcoming month, like my son's birthday, Saint Patrick's Day, Tax deadlines, and kite flying. But as I sat putting together a new journal it also made me think about how March is a month that can wind us up and let us go like a spinning top.
March either comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb or visa versa. Some days are windy and cold, some days it may snow, or some days may be spring like and pleasant. This is where I think of the "March Madness" syndrome we can all fall into.
I will be posting the challenge daily on my blog and website. Be sure to add this site to your dailly RSS feed.
I'm so excited (oops I already said that) for the 1st annual March Maddness Journal Challenge!

So that's why last night, randomly like a March day, I decided to start the March Madness Journal Challenge. The key of this challenge is do random fun things, on random days to a note book to create your own journal. The goal of this challenge is to relieve stress and have fun with journaling.
Each day you will be given something random to do inside your journal. Then go on for the entire month of March. At the end of the challenge, for those who participate I will be giving away a free prize that I will picture on my website and here on the blog March 1st along with a more detailed guidelines and how this challenge will work.
I'm so excitied! For all of you who tell me all the time that you just don't have time to journal or don't know what to write, I challenge you to get started with me on March 1, 2010.
I will be posting the challenge daily on my blog and website. Be sure to add this site to your dailly RSS feed.
Stay tuned... more details yet to come!!
