But, there's one thing we all have now that we didn't have before: a new perspective. You know more now than ever what matters in the big picture and what doesn't.
Let's take a little break together and talk about how to move forward with this perspective in May. Let's get some fresh air! Grab your PowerSheets® Intentional Goal Planner and join Lara outside in the garden during the PowerSheets PrepCast for May.
Psst—new to the Prepcast? It's your new favorite way to complete your monthly prep pages! Join Lara to walk through your month page-by-page in about 30 minutes. Easy and enjoyable, with accountability, encouragement, and a musical soundtrack to boot!

Key takeaways for your May Prep Pages:
- We called 2020 the year of clear vision. Through this experience, you may not be able to plan your next month, but you know for sure what matters right now, right where you are. You can do something with that vision!
- It's okay to pivot. It's okay to change your mind! And, it's okay if your goals are completely different this month.
- Get creative with your Monthly Calendar spread! Lots of ideas here.
- We're all going through grief. We're feeling a lot of uncertainty and loss. Use your "Prepare Well" page to write out your thoughts and to process. Give your thoughts a place on paper!
- Take the pressure off! The relieving thing about the PowerSheets process? We focus on progress, not perfection, and over time, your little-by-little progress will add up.
You're ready for a great May. There's still so much we can cultivate, and day by day, little by little, it will add up.
P.S. Make the most of your time right now. If you don't have your Six-Month PowerSheets yet, now is a great time to start. We recommend the Starter Bundle to help you live out what matters in this season!
