Ok, but really...how are we at the END of 2021, already?! I'm both upset that another year has sped on by, but also celebrating that I've been actively journaling all year and have 12 months of journal prompts to show for it! So naturally, it's time for the last round of journal prompts for 2021:... Continue Reading →
November 2021 Journal Prompts
November is blowing in and that means new journal prompts! Nothing too new or crazy this month. I think I might have finally found my groove with this mix of prompt styles throughout the week and will probably finish out 2021 that way. I've not always been writing during the "Free Write" days lately either.... Continue Reading →
October 2021 Journal Prompts
October means the start of SPOOKY SZN, baby! And that's reflected in this month's prompts (because it's my favorite time of year! Do I say that a lot? Maybe...) We've got the usual smorgasbord of prompt types (i.e. writing, doodle, photo, and free days). And lots of Halloween and autumn-themed prompts to get you in... Continue Reading →
September 2021 Journal Prompts
Well we're really into the back half of 2021 now, aren't we? This is both a frustrating development for me (there are so many things I haven't done yet!), and a good place for reflection (look at what I *have* accomplished and stayed consistent with all year!) Daily journaling has been one of the bright... Continue Reading →
August 2021 Journal Prompts
We've made it to August and that means new journal prompts! August is a weird month to me where you're half in the hazy oppressive heat of late summer and half in the bright-eyed optimism of a new school year. Even though I've been out of school for 9 (NINE!?!?) years now, there's still a... Continue Reading →
July 2021 Journal Prompts
Somehow we're over halfway through the year already and fully into summer. I write to you today in the cool morning hours of my parent's pool deck where I'm taking a much needed mental health break for the week. 2021 has somehow felt harder in many ways than 2020 did. Last year we gave each... Continue Reading →
June 2021 Journal Prompts
We're diving in to my favorite (and usually most busy) part of the year! June brings warmer weather, the first pool days, and lots of lush greenery. It's also a time of nostalgia for me. (Though it seems like EVERY season is nostalgic for me these days 😅). One of the saddest memories was summer... Continue Reading →
May 2021 Journal Prompts
The year is once again flying by (?!) and it's May! And I think that sentiment of time slipping through my fingers is reflected in this month's prompts. I reflect on the questions "Where have I been?" and "Where am I going?" a lot these days. I like to look back without feeling too much... Continue Reading →
What I Made in April // Photo Journal Challenge
I gave myself a new journaling challenge in April: take a weekly photo. If you scrolled through my iPhone camera roll, you'd find some days where I have a hundred photos. Mostly of my cat (because he's cute ALL the time) or a mini selfie shoot because I was feeling cute (which happens SOME of... Continue Reading →
Creative Journaling Resources
I started journaling as an adult in 2011, during one of my peaks (or should I say pits?) of depression. I had a little journal with beautiful hand-pressed pages that I felt like NEEDED to be written in. So why not start just writing? It's now been 9 years of journaling, and boy, have I...
