Within every woman is the need to feel heard, to listen to her own voice amidst the world's noise, to have space for her thoughts, and to be more authentic with less effort. MINE invites you, the reader, to become a writer—establishing a simple weekly ritual that evolves into a consistent journaling practice. The time you spend here in these pages is about you being able to say “I have something that’s mine,” and about mining the gold that is already within you. Originally designed as a year-long journey, MINE is composed of two six-month volumes for ease and focus, especially if you're new to writing. Here in Volume 1, you create a strong foundation for self-care through six months of exploration and unfolding—each month introducing a fresh, transformative theme to deepen your reflection and practice. Far more than just a journal, MINE, Volume 1 offers: 24 weekly writing rituals for consistency: Includes free writing exercises and simple, powerful prompts. - 24 additional weekly self-care rituals and resources for extra care: Optional rituals, curated recommendations, and inspirational quotes to enrich your journey. - 6 monthly themes for focus: Each month is guided by a new, fresh theme—a chapter in your self-care story—exploring topics like self-worth, bravery, and burnout. They build on each other and come together to help you feel less stretched and more whole. - Clear, step-by-step instruction for ease: Designed to keep the process simple, small, and sacred—something you get to do, not something you have to do. This work offers the rare gift of time to reconnect with your soul self—and invoke the wise inner guide within to find direction, live fully, and feel whole. ** VOLUME 1 OF A TWO-PART SERIES. ** To complete the year-long program and experience, continue with MINE, Volume 2: A Writing Ritual for Women Who Give Their Time, Energy, and Everything to Everyone Else: A 170+ Page, 6-Month Self-Care Journal for Heart, Soul and Whole Self.
