Have You Seen The Light?
It's within you, where it's always been, and the world needs it
Do you believe there’s a divine light within you? I think we all have one, though we’re often afraid to let it shine. Marianne Williamson said it well:
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. …
Your playing small does not serve the world. We are all meant to shine … As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
My goal for “Changing Lives” has always been to liberate myself and others from the fear and shame that keep us from letting our lights shine. At first, I did that solely by writing and speaking about my own recovery and life transformation journey. Now, I also lead mental health and spiritual support groups and do private coaching.
But I feel called to let my light shine - and help others shine - in a larger way. Because there’s a lot of darkness in the world right now. Too much for any one light, no matter how strong, to overcome. We need the combined brilliance of all of our lights to guide us through these dark times and into a better future.
So I’m creating a community of light-bearers. People who are shining their lights (or want to) but feel insignificant, exhausted, and overwhelmed. People ready to support and encourage each other instead of debate facts or trade insults. People who would rather join hands than point fingers.
People who are tired of living in fear and ready to liberate ourselves and others. People who are tired of feeling hopeless and powerless and ready to be the change we want to see.
More details about this community of light-bearers and how you can be part of it are available here. You’re also welcome to attend our next Zoom gathering on September 21 and see whether our lights help yours shine more brightly!
P.S. If you’d like 1:1 support to help your light shine, see my private coaching page for information about that option.
