"I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars."— Og Mandino

 

There’s something deeply comforting in this reminder, both light and darkness have their place, and both can reveal beauty in different ways.

As we move through the ups and downs of our days, it’s easy to wish for the light, the calm, the clarity, the warmth. But sometimes it’s in the quiet, shadowy moments that we discover something even more magical: the glimmer of insight, the sparkle of resilience, the twinkle of hope. Like stars only visible in the dark sky, some of life’s most significant beauty emerges when things slow down, when we pause, and when we trust.

We may not always have control over what the week brings, or what life brings, but we can choose how we show up in it, with grace, with intention, and with open eyes for the beauty that’s already here.

Let’s begin this week remembering that we carry both the light and the stars within us. Beauty is all around us, and within, waiting to be seen, felt, and shared.

Wishing you a peaceful and inspired week ahead.

Happy Monday!
