Journaling Café: Family

Published by Sula H.

Schreibstube: Familie As the days are slowly turning more chilly it’s that time of the year to snuggle closer with family and the loved ones in our lives. This week’s journaling prompts, therefore, are perfect to help you reflect on those special people and moments in your life. (And even if there’s no fall where you live, you can still use these prompts to write about what your family means to you. You don’t need to wait for autumn to come around to do so!)

Die Schreibvorschläge dieser Woche drehen sich deshalb vor allem um Familie und die besonderen Menschen und Augenblicke in unserem Leben. (Und selbst wenn es, wo du lebst, gar nicht herbstlich ist, kannst du die Vorschläge immer noch benutzen, um aufzuschreiben, was deine Familie dir bedeutet. Du musst nicht erst auf den Herbst warten, um das zu tun!)   …
