May Journal Prompts

You can use these May journal prompts for your personal journaling, group discussions and business’ social media engagement.

I cannot believe that my family and I have made it all the way to May with our family journaling project. I can honestly say that throughout these months I have gotten to know more about my children and myself. Their humor, creativity and their amazing personalities that come shining through in the ways they express themselves. I have learned my daughter wants to be a nurse like her grandmother and great-aunties because she wants to help heal others hurt. I have learned how much my youngest son appreciates our bedtime routine and how much he misses it when I am away for travel. And so many ah-ha moments from my oldest that has this Momma tearing up regularly.

If you have not started a routine of connecting with your family and encouraging your children to express themselves, I challenge you to join us for our monthly family journaling project. No rules on how to engage – just a daily prompt and a challenge to share your thoughts via words, song, art, or whatever way your heart desires.
