BOOM! Drop the mic... I mean ball on 2017 for new years that is! It's 2018 and it's time to shine!
Last year was THE YEAR OF THE WARRIOR. We stepped outside our comfort zones, did one thing a day that made us happy, tried new things, set high and almost unobtainable goals (and conquered them might I add), went on adventures, supported each other and followed the heartbeat paths of unconditional love, challenged ourselves, fell, got up, and through it all (with a few more trophy bruises) we gained freedom in the newfound strength we earned. That's right- we earned it! The brave feats we faced brought us here. We survived. Strength became appreciation. Appreciation became understanding. Understanding became patience. Patience became happiness. We gave ourselves time and let go of all the weight that held us down. We're lighter and now we can fly. Now we can let the light in and lead us. Now we can shine from the inside out. It's only natural when we fly, the ends of our lips do too. Smile!
This year is going to be amazing... this is going to be THE YEAR OF LIGHT. If you're going to rise, you might as well shine. Am I right? No need to speak, let your light speak for itself. If actions speak louder than words, let the sound of light speak for us. We will continue to trust ourselves and follow that inner torch that burns within each of us. It will lead us through all the confusion and fears hiding in the dark corners of our minds. It will bring clarity to unanswered questions if we keep seeking growth. We can't get lost if we follow the light. We simply take the scenic route or brave the unmarked trails we're being pulled towards. Or perhaps a little of both. There are no short cuts. We can only stop and ask for directions to get so far. We are all on different journeys fulfilling a different purpose. We don't have to prove anything to anyone but ourselves. It is not a race nor a competition. No light is too small or too dim. All light defeats darkness. Let our light echo through it and defeat it. We simply shine to lead the way to follow our own passions. Nothing can stop us now. We can't blame timing. We don't have enough of it in this lifetime. So what better time is there than now? Step into the light. It might seem blinding and disorienting at first, but that's only because we are turning from fears and bad habits. And as our eyes adjust to the light, on this path we will shine.

chase the sun to the edge of the sky
where days slow down and speed up at the same time
close your eyes and embrace the night
follow your dreams to the sound of light
follow the sound as you continue to rise
let the light lift you up to the highest of highs
it's the sound of light you need to fly
take flight in the light...and shine

Love Always,

Following your own light is something that everyone should hear and believe. Good stuff.
