“There is a quiet light that shines in every heart. It draws no attention to itself, though it is always secretly there. It is what illuminates our minds to see beauty, our desire to seek possibility, and our hearts to love life.”

— John O’Donohue

Imagine a light glowing you up from the inside.

A light so powerful it warms you with a single breath.

A light so gracious it reminds you every day you are enough.

A light so mysterious it leads you on a journey to wholeness.

Now, imagine that light being extinguished.

Who would you be?

How would you live without it?

Where would you find it?

When you find glimmers of that spark within, hold it, grasp it, cling to it and don’t let it go.

For it is there to guide you to greater fields of joy.

And it only lives within you. It cannot be found in others or in how-to articles.

It was given to you upon birth and it’s the divine calling you home to yourself, to your bliss.

Find it.

Nurture it.

Sing it’s praises.

Worship it.

Devote yourself to it.

And let it shine bigger and brighter than it ever has before.
