Sunday Notes — Women's Day Edition

Journal guide for honouring the women in your life and the woman looking back at you in the mirror.

For this week’s journaling guide, I want us to do two things. Honour ourselves, and honour the women who helped make us who we are.

I think about this a lot, especially on days like today. We’re so quick to celebrate other women (which we should, always) but we forget to turn that same warmth inward. And we don’t always stop to really acknowledge the women who quietly changed the course of our lives. So that’s what we’re doing today. Two prompts, a bit of reflection, and hopefully a moment that actually means something to you.

First, let’s talk about you.

Think about who you are right now. Not who you’re working toward, not who you used to be. Right now, today.

• What’s something you do effortlessly that other people find genuinely hard?

• If your best friend described you to a stranger, what would she say? Would you believe her?

• What’s one thing you’ve carried this year that deserves a little round of applause?

Now, the women who made you.

We don’t arrive at ourselves alone. There’s always someone in the story.

• Who is a woman (a mother, a friend, a teacher, even a stranger on the internet) who quietly changed the shape of your life?

• What did she give you that she probably doesn’t even know she gave?

• Is there something you wish you could say to her? And if she’s still around… could you just say it?

That’s your Sunday sorted. Grab a coffee, find a quiet corner, and give yourself the time to actually sit with these ones. You deserve that today.

Happy Women’s Day. 🤍

See you next Sunday.
