Good morning, wonderful you.

The way you live, the way you speak, the way you treat others… it all radiates something. Every day, you are putting something into the world. You are either bringing light or allowing something else to take its place.

Sometimes people will stop to thank you for the light you carry. They’ll tell you how your kindness, your smile, your words, or simply your presence made a difference. Other times, they’ll never say a word. They may simply smile as they pass by. You may never know how your positive energy lifted someone’s spirit or gave them hope on a difficult day.

I love being a light, and here’s the beautiful truth..we are all lights.

Some lights shine brightly. Others seem dim. Some may feel as though they’re barely glowing at all. That’s not something to judge. Sometimes it simply means we’re walking through a season of healing. The light never leaves..it can just become hidden.

Think about the sun. Even on the cloudiest day, the sun is still shining. The clouds don’t extinguish it; they simply block it from our view. In the same way, stress, fear, worry, disappointment, grief, or depression can hide the light within us. But they can never destroy it.

As you begin to remember who you are in the eyes of your Creator, those clouds begin to move. Little by little, the warmth returns. The light you’ve always carried begins to shine through again.

Be patient with yourself. Release the heavy baggage one step at a time. Do your best in this moment, and then the next. Healing isn’t about becoming someone new..it’s about uncovering who you’ve always been.

You were created by Love, so you are love.

You were created by Light, so you are light.

That can never change.

It may become hidden for a season, but it can never be taken away.

Today, let your light shine..not by trying harder, but by remembering who you already are.

Keep igniting from within.

With love, light, and joyful expectation,
Melanie Chryshelle
