It is time to plan out our dreams, leap into action learn from experience with an open heart.

You are here because you are truth-seekers, goal-setters, students and teachers, self-improvers, and dream chasers.

Here we committed to the beauty of the written word and the power of writing it out in a story. 

There is no such thing as perfect but there is right here and right now, the perfect time to find inspiration, plan, and take a leap of faith.

I’m so glad you asked!

I’m Petra Monaco, an artist, creativity coach, partner, an all-boys mom (they are all adults now), and grandparent to four (3 girls, and 1 boy) located in Central Virginia.

I’ve had a lot of ideas in my life and continue to have them and sometimes that can feel overwhelming I discovered that planning and journaling helped me organize my thoughts and ideas.

But more than that, it helped me get to know myself and connect to parts of my story that felt broken so I could take ownership of my own life.

Because at some point in my life, someone told me I couldn’t. I can’t have the cake and eat it too and I need to get my head out of the clouds. 

There are the stories we are told and the stories we still get to write. Through journaling you can connect the pieces and heal the parts of you that are ready to have the light placed upon them.
