Hello, May. 🌷 Here’s my cover page! As I’m Hello, May. 🌷 Here’s my cover page!

As I’m nearing the end of this notebook, I’ve already begun thinking about my next one. The things that are working, the things that aren’t—now’s the time to reflect on how your journal has been serving you so far this year, and how you can adjust or course-correct in the second half of the year. 

As far as goals for this month go…I plan on finishing the first draft of my book, and beginning the revising process in June. Wish me luck! ✨ 

What are your goals for this month?
