May is a time of nostalgia for me. I think of it as a month for remembering myself. In May, I celebrate my anniversary for choosing to follow my gut to live nomadically, travelling slowly in my favourite corners of the world. On this journey, life has been a teacher in trusting my decisions and staying rooted in my visions.
What is May to you?
May is many things of course. For me, the other side of May is that it is always so full. It is easy to become distracted, ungrounded, and distant from what rests in my mind and heart if I'm not intentional about seeing it.
One of the tools I've used and often recommend is journalling. The act of writing to and for myself has allowed me to witness the things that live inside me. Dreams, visions, limiting beliefs, versions of life I've outgrown, it all comes to me when I make space for it on the page. I see journalling as a way to return to myself. Awakening the dreams that have been made dormant is all about being brave enough to admit that they are real. Since I believe in living a life that we actively create and choose, I am very bold about calling dreams into existence. Our daydreams are so much more than dreams, they live and breathe and sometimes die which is why we must nurture them.
Below are twenty two journal prompts to enliven the dreams that you wish to reconnect with. Whether you feel disconnected, doubtful, unsure, fearful, willing but a little discouraged, or simply stagnant, this is my offering to you. These prompts are for disempowering the suggestion of doubt over your heart's vision.

Resources
If you'd like extra resources on following your inner voice, I recommend a few things:
1.
On the Life Is In Love With Me newsletter, I wrote an essay about quitting my job to provide myself space and imagination to live on my own terms. It initiated my long love affair with having the intuition and bravery enough to opt out. Quitting my job to live a writer's life has been a journey, it began because I felt the nearness of my dream. Read about it on 'Life Is In Love With Me':

2.
If you'd like to creatively and financially support yourself as you action your vision, I recommend Fiverr. Fiverr is a platform for freelancers and creators to be seen, paid, and connected. It's a platform that has been a great support to me on my journey and allows location independence, portfolio growth and deeper community with other creatives. You can sign up using my link:
