Description

In Reflections by the Lake, the author has replicated some of the jottings from five of the many dozens of journals she has written over a lifetime. No effort was made to correct grammar or sentence structure, or even to put her thoughts in a more readable form. They appear in this book exactly as she wrote them, except for some deletions made because of their personal nature. Because her life has been built around an active meditation and prayer life, she has interspersed the journal entries with chapters on various aspects of meditation. These meditations contain poems, quotations, and real helps for allowing you to find peace and contentment. To expose one's self by revealing things from those secret places in the mind can present a real challenge. Jan has accepted that challenge in an attempt to help others as she has helped herself. She has contributed much to her own happiness by simply recording events and reactions, then later reading and reviewing them. As a result of reading, meditation, and reviewing her own journal entries, she is better qualified to face life's every day assaults. Jan has kept journals not only to record events, experiences, and issues currently active in her life, but also to analyze them. Journaling explores thought processes and provides a reference point for future thoughts. A journal also involves study and analysis of the writer's life and the direction that life is taking. It provides reflections and observations to which the writer can return to examine and interpret experiences and observations in order to better understand them. The journal becomes a check-list for life's goals and enables those goals to be fulfilled to a greater degree. In reviewing what was previously written, the author may develop a much clearer view of the events that were recorded. She may then be in a better position to analyze what her real goal was, what really happened, if her response was correct, and how she could have responded better. She may also be in a better position to determine the significance of the recorded event and reflect on what she learned, what new insights were gained and how she now feels about that situation. By reading this book it is the author's wish that some of the truths that she has discovered will be imparted to you, and that you will find thoughts that you will appropriate to enhance and fulfill your own life. "Kolb's latest gift to her readers is a brave and provocative look into her soul and how, through journaling, she (and now we) can see her evolvement both as a spiritual person and a writer through poetry and prose. With her spiritual companion (Rochester) always by her side, she challenges us to pick up our pens and follow her in the art of journaling." Jeanne Quinn, author/photojournalist/book reviewer-Pocono Record "Reflections by the Lake touched my soul in a very deep place, causing me to reflect on my own life and on my relationship with God. Janice Kolb's courageous transparency can't help but have a lasting impact that is sure to inspire the reader to write." Nancy Richards, author of Heal and Forgive: Forgiveness in the Face of Abuse
