Why do you think it’s important to do this?

Why does it matter?

As long as you feed your light and allow it to breathe… as long as you do not cover it, it will continue to flicker and dance, mesmerizing, warming, joyful, soothing, healing… and bringing light to others.

It bends and wavers, moving back and forth at the whim of the very air that it needs in order to shine. But always, it is trying to stand straight, steady and tall again, to hold fast to the wick that supports it, remembering its center.

When it has been extinguished through suffocation or lack of nourishment, it can be re-ignited by the beautiful light of another. Allow yourself to ask for and receive that precious gift.

You have been blessed with many gifts and talents. Your soul’s purpose is to express them fully so your radiant light will sparkle and shimmer in its own unique way.

This is how you will become who you were meant to be.

It is also the path to true freedom and joy.

In order to walk that path, you must never let anyone put out your light — and that includes yourself. Guard it, cherish it, nurture and treasure it, for it is the very essence of your divine spirit.

Be that light for those who have lost theirs. If everyone kept paying it forward, imagine the radiant and loving glow that would light up the world.
