Journal Prompt - Happy repeats

I was so excited to send out my first Patreon reward today -- this little prompt right here! I haven't really said much about my new Patreon page, other than linking to it from my website homepage. It's a really interesting platform that I think will help me to continue creating and sharing my journal work in a more sustainable way. I'll write more about it in the coming days as I settle in.

In the meantime, let's get to the prompt. At the top of my list is continuing to explore Patreon. I feel like it's going to be such a good fit. Tomorrow, I'll post my first poll and I can't wait! Two more things I'd happily repeat tomorrow are (1) tea and homemade chocolate chip cookies for my afternoon break and (2) walking outside in the warm (well, almost warm) sunshine.

How about you? What's happening today that you'd gladly repeat tomorrow?

 

Journal Prompt - Strengths and skills

27-03-2018---Printable-Journal-prompt-by-Christie-Zimmer.jpg

In this season of my life, the first item on my list is invariably perseverance, followed closely by its partner, patience. In parenting, work, and lately, puppy training, perseverance is king. Today, my organizational skills are also being tested. Big air quotes around the word skills when it comes to organization. But I'm working on it!

What's on your list?

 

Journal Prompt - Beautiful Things

Two beautiful things I can see right now: (1) a set of shelves by my desk - full of books and my daughters' artwork, (2) big, fluffy snowflakes outside my window. One beautiful thing I can imagine: the ocean - a particular stretch of the North Atlantic held in my imagination until I get to see it again.

What's on your list?

 

Journal Prompt - Good Things in the World

A counterpoint to Monday's prompt. Because there's also a lot of good out there.

Right now, I feel so lucky to open my inbox and social media feeds and find them filled with amazing people who use their voices and talents to lift others up. It's never been so easy to connect with people all over the world, to find people who cheer us on, who give us a sense of belonging to something bigger, who inspire and teach us, and with whom we can join to bring about positive change.

What's your one good thing?

 

Journal Prompt - Change the World

I loved this one. Right up until it was time to post it. And then it felt really scary. All of a sudden, I felt ill-equipped to follow through on the prompt. Then I remembered that I live here, too. Why not give it a try? Here goes.

I'd like to see a kinder, gentler world. More listening, more sharing, more acceptance. Less judgment, less win-lose. All works in progress for me. (And the world.)

How about you? What if it were up to you? What if it IS up to you? What would you like to change about the world?

 

Journal Prompt - The Long Haul

02-03-2018---Journal-prompt-by-Christie-Zimmer.jpg

Ending the week with commitment and perseverance. And pink. And slightly wonky camera angles. And the long haul, which to me means sticking with it, persisting past the false starts and the wrong turns and the setbacks. Because whatever your thing is, it's worth it. And so are you.

What's one of your things?
