May Focus: “Tiny Adventures”

May is about getting out into the world—but doing it in a way that feels simple, doable, and a little bit magical.

NOTE : I wrote this post to go with Tiny Adventures but I did include some writing prompts below.

This month, we are exploring life in small, meaningful ways.

Not big trips.
Not perfectly planned days.
Just little moments of curiosity, tucked into your everyday life.

Your tiny 2.5 x 2.5 journal becomes your companion—something you can carry with you, ready to catch the moments you might have missed otherwise.

Intent for the Month

To explore your world through small, intentional adventures and document them in a way that feels easy and joyful.

What is a Tiny Adventure?

A tiny adventure is anything that breaks you out of your normal rhythm:

  • Stopping somewhere you usually pass by

  • Taking a different road

  • Sitting outside a little longer than usual

  • Walking into a shop you’ve never entered

  • Noticing something and choosing to follow it

It’s not about distance—it’s about presence and curiosity.

How to Use Your Tiny Journal

Keep it simple and on-the-go:

  • A few words about where you went

  • A quick sketch or scribble

  • Tape in a receipt, label, or scrap

  • Jot down a thought, a feeling, or a moment

  • Add color inspired by what you saw

This journal isn’t about perfection—it’s about capturing the experience while you’re in it.

Tiny Adventure Prompts

  • Where did I go today that felt different?

  • What did I say yes to?

  • What caught my attention?

  • What did I discover when I slowed down?

  • What felt like a small but meaningful moment?

  • What would I explore more if I let myself?

Creative Rhythm for the Month

Instead of pressure to create every day, think:

→ A few tiny adventures each week
→ A few pages filled with real moments
→ A journal that becomes a collection of lived experiences

Closing Thought

You don’t need a plane ticket to explore your life.
You just need a little curiosity—and a small place to keep it.

Creativity has always been a large part of my life. I believe that everyone is a creative, some people just have not discovered their passion yet. My goal is to share the message, “Go Forth and Create!”

Mixed media is my love. I thrive on the freedom of working in any medium I want and combining watercolor, ink, acrylics, fabrics-everything is fair game.

Living in Alaska, I am surrounded by beauty. I find the scenery and the people equally inspiring. the world is endlessly providing inspiration and my mission is to take full advantage. My favorites include color, nature, family, books, people and so much more.
