Better to light one candle than to curse the darkness. What small steps can you take this new year to improve your life? How can this lovely Chinese proverb inspire you to light up an area in your life that you haven’t noticed before? You can use the December monthly prompt to help you reflect on last year and to look ahead to 2023. Need something to write on? Grab your WriteWell digital journal.
