The 4 letter word I am really struggling with is… HOPE!

Why? Right? Why hope?

Because here’s how I have heard it lately…

I hope things get better!
I hope I don’t have to… (fill in the blank).
I hope you are well!

I realize these are all good sentiments and there is nothing wrong with these statements. But, if we desire to see authentic transformation in our personal lives and ultimately in the world, I don’t think hoping is going to get us there.

I have been contemplating this quote by Desmond Tutu:

Hope is being able to see Light.jpg — “HOPE IS BEING ABLE TO SEE THAT THERE IS LIGHT DESPITE ALL OF THE DARKNESS.”

I love his wisdom and I would add a personal addendum…

YOU ARE THE LIGHT! YOU!

Yes, YOU are the Light, right now! Not when you feel better, not when circumstances change, even in the darkest moments, we are Light!

Instead of hoping things get better… what about seeing the goodness that is already around you and within you. And expect to see goodness at any moment.

Focus on what you DO want. As the saying goes… where Intention goes, Energy flows.

And there are SO many ways to spread your own unique Light!

Here are some ideas to share your own unique Light:

Practice random acts of kindness- without expecting anything in return.
Send good vibes (or pray or whatever language you use) to someone you know how is hurting- whether you know them personally or not.
Use social media as a way to spread positive messages!
Consider volunteering your time for a non-profit or someone who needs help!
How will you choose to spread Love in a practical way? I would love to know! Feel free to write in the comments and let me know or email me!

I’m spreading some of my own Light with several offerings to connect body, mind, and soul in a practical and sacred way. I’m calling it practical woo. You can check out some of this practical woo on my YouTube channel with Energy Healing techniques and other holistic practices to help you take action!
