30 Life Lessons and Journal Prompts

For the month of June in 2015 I shared 30 life lessons and journal prompts in honour of my 30th birthday. These are just a few of the things I have learned in my 30 years on this planet.

At each of the links below you’ll find a short personal essay sharing what I’ve learned, and some journal prompts to encourage reflection.

You may want to work through the lessons and journal prompts in order, or just dip into those that speak to you.
