It’s been really windy in my corner of the world - a sign of spring on the horizon as the wind brings warmer temperatures. It makes me think of sitting by the river, of ice cream cones and kayaking on lakes. The wind brings with it a little flurry of marvels in both the warmer temperatures and the most colorful sunrises.
This weeks marvels also include:
sleeping in until 9AM on a Sunday (typically unheard of in single mom life!)
afternoon tea with some far away friends who stopped by for a visit
launching new blank journals (go check them out here!)
launching a few DIY art kit (check it out here!)

Today, I want to share a personal writing practice I use when I'm stuck or bored with my life.
When we learn to accept uncertainty and the unknown, we make room for new possibilities. Life can surprise us in ways we haven't yet thought of. Instead of wishing for a specific outcome, we embrace the unknown. We learn to welcome mystery. Instead of running through our routines on autopilot, we can find pockets of wonder.
Opening to the mystery allows magic and wonder to settle into our daily lives. Naming unexpected blessings helps us trust in the surprises and wonders ahead.
I enjoy using these questions as journaling prompts. They help me tune my brain and heart back to appreciate the mystery.
Think about your life. When was the last time you experienced the breathtaking feeling of wonder? Describe it.
What about this experience filled you with awe?
What did you do today? List it out in point form.
Did you miss any moments of wonder today? If so, what were they? Describe them.
What do you find uncertain or unknown at this moment? Why does it puzzle you?
What is wonderful or magical about your own uncertainty?
These simple writing exercises are best handwritten - get the hand moving, the body involved. Allow your writing to flow in whatever direction it wants to go and just see what you uncover!
Thank you for joining me in this ordinary moment - I hope you find your own moment of wonder this week.
