May Magazine Musings🌹
What Articles, News, and Events are Blooming this Month!
Welcome to Janine’s Journal Jam. An offering of journal prompts and the stories that spark them. May they inspire you to jam with your journal!
Read Here about why journaling is such an integral part of my life.
Hey There!
What’s Blooming? 🪻
There’s so much blossoming in my heart and around me.
I’m excited to announce that my son, Stephen, proposed to his vibrant and beautiful girlfriend, Ashley, and she said YES!
We are in the thrill of wedding planning, and we couldn’t be happier for them.
Almost a month out from my gallbladder surgery and I’m finally getting my energy back.
I’ve been journaling quite a bit about what’s coming up for me during this time of rest and healing. I’m tracking how I’m caring for my body, what it’s loving, and what it’s absolutely abhorring.
I get it! You don’t have to tell me twice!
It’s just about time for riding. The weather and my surgery definitely delayed any early spring rides, but Girasolé also needed to go to the bike doctor. She’s having some ABS issues. ABS stands for Anti-lock Braking System, yet I can’t help but see the synchronicity of us each having problems around our ABS!
My theme for May is BLOOM.
