I named this project The Butterfly Diaries because of the notion that
when a butterfly flaps its wings in one part of the world,
it can make ripple effects
that are felt on the other side of the world.
You are that butterfly.
When you flap your wings and follow your goals and dreams,
you create ripple effects that make a key difference
to others and to yourself.

We all have our daily struggles. Some days are harder than others. But you're tough and resilient. And you struggle through. Or maybe there are things about your life right now that you would love to change. You just don't know how. Or maybe you're not unhappy, but you're not happy either. You just don't feel all that hopeful either. Oftentimes we're unhappy because what we care about and value does not align with our actions and our reality. Butterfly Diaries is about creating the lives that we truly want. Figuring out what makes us truly happy. Gathering the support and building the strength to go for it. We do this together in a safe, supportive space using these 3 key pillars: |

1. A Journaling Lifestyle
|
The regular consistency of Butterfly Diaries -- delivered to your inbox weekly -- helps provide the accountability and the guidance and structure to help you keep up and maintain a regular journaling habit. Keeping up with a journaling habit on one's own can feel difficult to maintain at times -- but doing it together with other incredible women to share and support each other along your journey makes it a lot easier and much more fun!
|
|
2. Emotional Growth
|
Emotional growth is key in one's life if one wants to keep growing and moving forward emotionally, spiritually, mentally. Butterfly Diaries, through my journaling prompt questions, inspirational quotes and Q&A with yours truly (with 20+ years of specialized counseling experience) and an online women's community help to do that. It's important to have a place to let out your feelings. It's also equally important to gain clear perspective when we come across difficult moments in our lives. Emotional growth is key in helping us grow more into the strong, creative women we truly are.
|
|
3. Life Strategizing & Planning
|
And finally, life strategizing and goals and action planning -- one of my favorites! I love to dream -- don't get me wrong. But being practical and figuring out how we can turn our dreams into reality is also incredibly exciting. This requires breaking things down into bite size steps, creating a timeline, figuring out what resources or support we'll need, research, etc. It requires backing up and seeing the forest for the trees and simultaneously seeing each tree clearly as well. It's a lot of fun and can be challenging as well. It requires patience and persistence and more patience. We will break things down step by step. And I'm so excited to be supporting you as we goal-dream and build your action plan together!

FAQ:
What are the questions like in the Butterfly Diaries?

Who are You?
I'm the creator of Butterfly Diaries and Journaling Sisters! You can read more about me here. I have 20+ years of experience in a non-traditional form of co-counseling within a grassroots, activist organization. I have counseled hundreds of people on their patterns formed from childhood and worked through different modes of healing from past hurtful experiences. I have also similarly worked continually on my own patterns as well.
I created Butterfly Diaries because from what I've learned from the last several years leading Journaling Sisters, it is not enough to simply join a journaling workshop here and there. Women need more support if they want to make real, lasting changes in their lives and grow. Thus I created the three pillars: A Journaling Lifestyle, Emotional Growth, and Life Strategizing & Planning. These 3 areas, along with your own self-reflection, plus our awesome community is the support you need to create a life you truly love!
Will this be difficult for me if I don't already journal regularly?
Nope-- I created Butterfly Diaries specifically so that it would help the many women I met who haven't journaled in a long time, but want to get back into it. The questions provide focus, along with the monthly themes and the 3 pillars (A Journaling Lifestyle, Emotional Growth, and Life Strategizing & Planning) serve as a crucial foundation to help you move forward slowly, but surely, in figuring out what you want to create in your life.
Will this benefit me if I already journal daily? How is this different from journaling on my own?
Butterfly Diaries is more than just pretty journaling pages sent to you weekly. We are a community of incredible women, just like you. We are here because we believe we can strive for more in our lives -- more joy, more laughter, more of whatever you desire in your life. We are here to remind each other that what you want and desire in your life is important. We who have always given to others, it's finally your time. You're worth it. Your dreams are important.
How much time will the Butterfly Diaries take?
It should take you anywhere from 30-45 minutes a week. It really is up to you, how in-depth you choose to answer each question. It's just a couple of beautiful pages a week (with plenty of space to write) and includes an optional section if you want to explore further.
How will I receive my Butterfly Diary pages? How often do they come out?
They will appear in your inbox every Friday. This way you have the rest of the weekend to ponder and reflect on the questions. (Or if you work weekends, you can start the questions on Monday.)
What will the online community forum be like? Is it similar to a Facebook group?
We will be together on a separate online platform called Mighty Networks that you can download onto your computer, tablet or iPhone or Android. Mighty Networks is founded by a woman and extremely easy to use and post and share online with one another. It's a great opportunity to not be distracted by the usual social media noise, and be in a safe, private space of our own!
Can I invite girl friends to do Butterfly Diaries together?
Yes, definitely! It would be great to go through this experience with your girl friends together! You can share your in both your excitement and challenges.
When does Butterfly Diaries start?
Butterfly Diaries officially starts November 2020.
How much is it? Is this a membership subscription?
When you sign up for Butterfly Diaries, you are signing up to receive your diary pages weekly. You will receive 4-5 Butterfly Diary pages each month depending on the number of weekends that month.

And of course there will be our vibrant online community space where you can post questions and share stories 24/7 -- I will be in there answering your questions and comments daily as well!
