The Quiet Light Within Guides Us
You are not alone. There is a light inside you that connects you to the love and wisdom around you. This light wants to give you wisdom, to guide you to safety, and to connect you with others who want to love and support you.
You can think of this wisdom as God, the Universe, Love, or your Higher Self. However you think about it, please know that it is real, and it adores you.
Take some time today or soon to sit; be silent, breathe; and be willing to listen. When we do things like this, we create a space for the light within and around us to guide us.
