April was a lovely month, one I’m sad to end! While nature blossomed, sang, and emitted the sweetest scents around our neighborhood, I too felt myself coming alive. I always feel my best in the spring and try to be extra intentional about using that energy wisely in April, May and June.

Since we are entering the heart of my soaring spring, I’m excited to share my ambitious plans for May. But first, let’s do a quick April recap! This was my vision:

Anyone who’s done it knows that querying your book in hopes of obtaining a literary agent is a form of torture. It’s a lot of waiting, unknowns, and self doubt is sky high. All of this made me realize that the only way to keep moving is to stay uplifted.

My primary intention for April was: Be a person too wrapped up in enjoying life to be stressed about what may or may not happen. And it helped!

I also tried a new thing to super-charge my intentions, which was to add my monthly vision board and list to Notion (what I use as my planner). It was a tiny change, and it made a huge difference to have that daily touchpoint.

A peek at my Notion setup. April intentions are the new addition on the right!

Now let’s get into how I honored all nine(!) of those intentions. I’ll also unveil my May vision board, a new list, my word of focus and will prompt you to do the same.

The remainder of this post is dedicated to paid supporters, as a thank-you and as a safe space to set and share your own intentions!
