The Beautiful Brilliant Light

I try to stand in the Light as much as possible. This Light is so beautiful that I can barely comprehend it when I see it.

I have seen it several times in my life.

It made itself known to me when I was married. The words “I do” came to me as a beautiful sign from the Light that all was well.

The Light came to me when I had the thought that all my negative thoughts about myself were wrong.

The Light came to me when my heart was willing to forgive the wrongs of those whom I felt anger towards.

The Light came to me too when I survived an attack in 2004 that almost took my life. The Light was in the surgeon’s hands as he saved my life.

This Light I speak of doesn’t have one name. It has many names. Throughout the eons of time many have named it. Some called it God, Jesus, Buddha, Mohammad, Source, The One, Nature, Holy One.
Every name is valid. Every name matters. They matter, because they are all the Light.

We are in the Light. The Light emanates from us, towards us, through us, as us, because of us, for us, in front of us, behind us, and under us.

The Light loves all people.

For us to brighten this world that seems so dark, we need to turn on our lights.

I heard it said that if the room is dark, in order to find your way, you must turn on a light.

When you turn on your light, the world gets a little brighter.

When you turn on your light, my world gets a little brighter.

Even on a cloudy day we know that the sun is still shining. Sometimes, we don’t see the light in our heart or the hearts of others, because there are clouds of resentment, hurt, bitterness, and fear. The clouds cannot block it forever. Eventually even the darkest day will become bright again.

You are a bringer of the Light to this world. Through you shines the very light of the Creator of the universe. Call it what you will. It is real. It is here. No name can put it in a box. If you try to put the light in a box, it will find its way out. Soon the walls will collapse and give way to the Light inside.

Your light is beautiful.

Your light is so beautiful that it makes me want to shine mine.

Together we are all making the world more beautiful. I love your beautiful light!

You Deserve To Be Supported

The pr ocess of writing my book has been so interesting. So many opportunities for me to look at myself and the way that I approach things. One of the most interesting opportunities is the one around the ability to say that I don't understand something. This brings me to what I wanted to  write about here.  That is this false belief that I should be able to know something before I know it. Yes, I read that sentence and say that doesn't even make sense. But, how many of us have taken on a project thinking we should not be able to ask questions about it? It's like the person  (not that I have even done this:) who gets lost driving, but refuses to ask for directions. Truth is our GPS takes care of that most of the time, but there are still times we need to ask.  If the goal of doing a project is to get it done is to get it done, it just makes sense to ask questions. Right? Well, the inability to ask questions usually stems from deeper issues that cannot be just...

Staying the Course

How many of us can relate to being distracted? How can we not? Every five seconds there is another notification on our smart phones. And, life just being what it is will always be presenting us with another situation to deal with. It's life. It's reality. It seems that it has always been a struggle for me to simply stick with whatever project I embark on. Whenever I start something, it seems that the follow through becomes challenging. Maybe there is some psychological issue I could look at. Maybe I'm just human. Maybe it's just normal. To stay the course in life I believe requires a commitment to the thing we set out to do. It requires saying to ourselves that we will let nothing ultimately stand in our way. And, this commitment has to be so important to us that we will not let the distractions through us off the path. It's about priorities. When we know what is important to us we will find the resources to make it happen. I absolutely believe in the adage th...

Not Waiting Anymore

Waiting.  Always waiting. Waiting for the right time to change jobs. Waiting for the right time to find a new home. Waiting to lose weight, to have enough in the bank, to look better, etc. There is always a reason not to act. I believe that much of my delaying has been about waiting for that perfect sign from the universe that it was now ok to act on whatever I desired. I believed that the universe would indeed give me a sign that it was now the right time to act. I thought that there would be some great sign to point me in the right direction. Well... The time never comes right? I know I'm not alone in this. Really, it is that feeling of fear that I might act in a way that was not the right thing to do. Don't I have to know how it's all going to work out before I act? Doesn't everything have to make sense before I take a risk? Here are some truths I have stumbled upon in my years of trying to make sense of my reluctance to act: 1. There never is a perfect time t...
