SHINE

I didnt write yesterday.


Maybe because it was Monday or I just didn’t have anything to say.


My grade school teachers would all agree it was NOT that I didn’t have anything to say. Lord know they told me to shut up and move to the front a lot in those days.
Writing “I will not talk in class” only honed my writing skills. I would dot my “I’s” with hearts or flowers. Practice my cursive as I got older. It may have kept my mouth occupied, but my young brain was on full blast!

Its flattering when I don’t share my thoughts one day and people ask me about it, or just tell me that they enjoy finding my post first thing on the morning.
Well, this one is for you!


People like you help me step out of my comfort zone. Whether it is cooking for you or sharing my thoughts, your words of encouragement push me forward.
Never stop being that type of person and friend.


If we encourage one another to succeed, just think what a wonderful life we would be living! And the best part…
It doesn’t cost a thing!


Your success takes nothing from mine.
Hear that?


Your bright light doesn’t dim mine.
Your shining star doesn’t cause mine to shoot down. It actually helps light up the night sky.
I can light your candle with mine and my flame will continue to burn, and when our wicks touch, the flame is even brighter.


I pray you reach whatever goals you desire.
And on the path there you help and inspire another on their journey.
Thank you for the encouragement.
Thank you for exploring my thoughts.
Go shine that light so others may see!
