I will do my best to post these monthly prompts consistently because, honestly, it helps me. So I hope it also brings something valuable for you.

How has your May been so far?

Looking back since 2025 began, in what ways have your life and world changed?
Since May began (it might already be June when you read this!), what's the most important progress and growth you've had?
Thinking to the end of 2025, what "impossible" goal will you achieve?

Do you think you will, or do you know you will?

My Answer to the Prompts

I'll start by sharing my own reflections:

Looking back since 2025 began, my actions have become more intentional, exponentially so. My focus is now on self-care, growing my community on Substack, finalizing my Modern Journalism course, and caring for my family in a more present way. Essentially, I try to be present in everything I do. It’s been years of practice and growing awareness about what makes me myself and how I can make my future self proud of my present choices. This can only be intentional. That’s why I’ve also been preaching lately the importance of intentional parenting.
Since May began (it might already be June when you read this!), I have focused daily on my Modern Journalism course and being present with my kids. I realized that growth can happen when I choose one action to take consistently every day. One action in my professional life and one in my family life.
Thinking to the end of 2025, what "impossible" goal will you achieve? - Wow, I love this question, and it makes me dare for greater dreams. I already have those dreams, but I am not sure I have written them down properly. My “impossible” goal I am really rooting for is publishing my first book of poems. Next on the “impossible” made possible goals will be to get a normal and flexible (part-time) job. Until my digital empire picks up :) I will also learn proper podcasting by doing it, learning from the best. Essentially, I will be learning even more new skills, continuously. Ok, just one more “impossible” goal: to simplify our home to the essentials. That means a minimalistic approach to clothing (for our family of five), reviewing all the books we have (what we can donate, or sell), same for baby toys our kids have outgrown. I could find more “impossible” goals, but let’s stick to these few for now. How about you?

How about you?

I invite you to reflect on your actions from April, regardless of your area of focus, be it personal or professional. Jot down your thoughts for yourself, comment below, or even write a post about it, it’s up to you.

Remember, this is a judgment-free zone, where we support and inspire each other. If you feel more comfortable, join the chat I opened for these prompts.
