Leigh Bardugo encourages people on New Year’s Day to Begin As You Mean to Go On, meaning to spend 15 minutes doing something you want to do more of this year.

So I spent 15 minutes journaling with Esmé Weijun Wang’s Rawness of Remembering journaling course.

Two books and a pen on a dark surface. One book is titled “Rawness of Remembering: Restorative Journaling through Difficult Times” and has a purple cover with golden designs. The other book is a green bullet journal with a Librarian Tarot card sticker. A purple pen rests on the purple book.
