The Sun is Out Again!
I’m no longer hiding my true light

Today is a sunny Saturday as I write this. I just came inside after spending some glorious time out in our back garden weeding, picking flowers and noticing the beautiful blooms, the beginnings of broccoli forming and enjoying the cherry petal “snow” from our neighbor’s tree. It is a bright, sunny day after many dark days of rain here in Oregon. We are still in lockdown here, but we are grateful for our home, our garden, drives on the weekends to pick up a little take out food, to make the weekend feel a bit special. Today I am taking stock of what happened this past week. This week that for a short while, the world darkened a bit when our publication Illumination was taken down from Medium.
I am so very grateful that the sun is out again! Our illuminating community of writers can shine the light on the world. Our amazing leader and founder Dr Mehmet Yildiz can lead us once again. Our friendships are strong, and our community thrives. We are all smiling, coming out from the darkness, the world is new again!
It is a very different time we are living in, but I believe it is a big opportunity to embrace all that is light in the world. So far I have met amazing people who I call friends here and I feel so connected to all of you. I look forward to reading your articles each day that I am able and I look forward to supporting you so that we all my grow together.
I want to share a personal story that happened to me this week. Self awareness and reflection is something I love to write about because my hope is that it will help someone else in the process. My hope is that it will bring light, love and clarity to other’s lives.
This week was the second week that I participated in a 12 week coaching course for building my professional organizing business. I am there to learn, grow and help the other group members grow their businesses and in the process help each other to grow in the process. I am very grateful that I had saved up the money to do this course at this time. It is a pivotal time for growth and change.
Last week on Wednesday I was coached in the group by an amazing mindset coach. Through her process with me I was able to see that I had been hiding for 3–4 weeks. The thoughts that I was thinking resulted in the lack of success that I was having in my business. I could finally see the light! I had not worked on promoting or marketing my services or pivoted enough at this time to offer the help that I need to at this time. My intent is to help people clear the overwhelm in their homes and to feel better in their environment at this time. I could now see that my “hiding,” and silence had created my results. It was a huge “ah ha” moment! It made me decide to change my course of action so that I can attain better results. In order to have better results I need to be very aware of my thoughts.
I have an amazing accountability parter that is overseas. We message each other Monday to Friday to keep each other accountable to things we are doing in our businesses. She had created some online offerings and after I had told her of my discovery she helped me start to create a program of my own. The next day I went into full force creating that program. It is so very exciting to see where this is going to go! I feel that the universe is showing me the light so that I can be a light myself. I can get through to the other side of my comfort zone and be the person I am meant to be.
I am no longer hiding. I am creating something to share with others. I am balancing my time first on creation and marketing and then on writing. In the the center of all of that is the reason that I do all of this: to spread light and love to the world. It can be through a client, it can be through a reader, it can through a friend or family member. I want that light to shine as bright as possible, to cut through the darkness.
Thank you Illumination family for always shining. I am no longer hiding! I am out in the light ready to share my gifts with the world. Sometimes that takes an awareness of my thinking and sometimes that takes me out of my comfort zone, but it always takes me into the LIGHT!
Shine on every day!!
