About this Event
You know that one feeling that keeps popping up? The one that showed up when you were seven, shows up in your relationships, and still sneaks into your Tuesday afternoons? Let’s get to know it.
Join ATX Book Lovers Club and Sunnie Mae, Author of I, Me Too for a relaxed, guided journaling night. We’ll find that feeling, figure out where it started, and connect the dots between then and now.
What you’ll walk away with:
The “aha” sentence. One line that sums up your pattern and where it came from.
A fresh look at an old memory. You’ll write it as if you’re watching a kid you used to know, which makes it a lot easier to see.
A little love note to your younger self, plus a strength from back then that you still have.
A keepsake card with your favorite line from the night, small enough for your wallet.
Five bonus prompts in your inbox the next morning, so you can keep going whenever you want.
What the night looks like:
Grab a seat and get comfy. A quick hello and a look at what’s ahead.
Pick your feeling. Circle one on your card. That’s it.
Check in with little you. A writing reflection: the first time you felt it, and the most recent.
Connect the dots. Find what they have in common. You can chat with a neighbor if you want to.
Never journaled before? Perfect. No writing experience needed, nothing gets shared unless you want it to, and spelling does not count.
What to bring:
- A Journal & Pen.
- Something cozy, (your favorite blanket or hoodie.)
- An open heart.
Meet your host:
Sunnie Mae is an Austin author whose novel, I, Me Too, follows three generations of women in one family, each one inheriting what the woman before her couldn’t work out. Writing it helped her untangle the patterns she grew up with. Now she’s bringing that same practice to you, with prompts, a cozy room, and a card to take home.
