A year of monthly journaling inspiration

The act of list making is such an essential part of our everyday lives, whether we jot down those lists on paper or create plans in our minds. From scribbling down daily tasks, mapping out lifelong goals, or tallying up our top ten favorite songs. So many of our inner desires and thoughts are revealed through the lists we create.

I've been a serious list maker for as long as I can remember. At work I juggle three different types of lists to keep myself on track. Lately, I've come to realize that list making isn't just about keeping a tally on things I need to remember or work goals I need to complete. Lists can be a great tool for self discovery, exploration, and even fun too!

In light of the new year quickly approaching, I've created 12 lists: one for each month of the year. In this article, you'll find ways to make each month more thoughtful and vibrant by looking inside yourself to reveal your inner wisdom and confidence. All you need is a curious spirit and a readiness to discover the beauty, joy, creativity and power that is already inside of you!

Read through the list, feel the mood of each month or season and enjoy your exploration of self. 2017 is already on its way to being your best year yet, and I couldn't feel luckier to be part of your journey.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
