A Quote To Begin
“There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.”
~Edith Wharton
In your notebook, choose one prompt to explore.
Are you the candle?
Are you the mirror reflecting the light?
Are you both?

A Writing Tip For You
Let your writing spill onto the page. Write freely. Sense your intuition. Re-read your writing with a gentle heart and gentle eyes. Reflect on the gems in what you wrote today. Circle phrases, underline lines, highlight sections that already feel like gems that shine.
