Rise & Shine
Live Journaling & Reflection with Patty Mondays & Fridays.
Grab your journal. Pick up a pen. Let's pause together.
Life moves quickly. Between work, family, responsibilities, and everything competing for our attention, it's easy to move through the day without stopping to ask
What am I noticing?
What matters to me?
What do I need?
What am I learning about myself?
You don't need a fancy journal.
You don't need the “right” answers.
You just need a journal, a pen, and a few minutes to pause.
Sometimes I'll talk. Sometimes I'll write. Sometimes we'll sit with a question and simply give ourselves space to think.
This is your invitation to pause, reflect, and come back to yourself.
Our ObservationThe Young People in Our Lives Are Watching
They watch how we speak.
How we respond.
How we learn.
How we grow.
How we treat ourselves and others.
Parents. Teachers. Mentors. Coaches. Caring adults.
We don't have to be perfect examples. We're human
What we explore
Our reflections may take us in different directions
-
Explore what you want, what you're learning, and what may become wisdom over time.
-
What happened over the last seven days? What did you notice? What are you proud of?
-
Small questions and practices that help you become more aware of yourself.
-
A simple practice to carry with you throughout the week—and, when appropriate, bring into your family, classroom, or community.
How we do it - Bring:
A journal
A pen
Your favorite drink, if you have one
That's it.
You can use The Journer, another journal, a notebook, or even a piece of paper.
I'll often put my journal under the camera and write in real time, so you can journal alongside me.
