What can you do when your heart breaks? When tragedy strikes and your world feels shaken, how is it possible to hold onto hope? What about the good things that happened just before the darkness descended? Does your current heartache cancel about all the hope and healing you just experienced?
These were the thoughts I wrestled with in this past week since the Shine Retreat wrapped up. Just as we finished up, our country was hit with the news of the Las Vegas shooting. I was hurt, shaken, and emotionally raw. I was not planning on using this wrap-up week to talk about tragedy, but, as usual, life has other bigger plans. This week, I saw so many women come to a place of healing and hope that I am refusing to let go of. I am refusing to believe that I do not make a difference, and neither should you. Let’s choose to hold onto goodness and hope in this dark time. Hold onto one another, and hold onto hope. I hope you enter into this space with me this week.

Hello! I’m so glad you’ve joined me on Day 4 of the Shine Retreat Journey. Today is the last day of the Retreat, so I wanted to share the ways that I have learned from the important women in my life during the retreat. It is refreshing to be surrounded by women who are offering hope and light to one another. Oftentimes, we wander through difficult seasons of life without a glimmer of light. I want you to know that you and I have the power to make the world a little brighter!
What are your sources of light? Perhaps the better question is who are your sources of light? You might be experiencing some of the darkest moments of your life right now, so I wanted to encourage you with the truth that dawn always breaks. If you aren’t in the midst of hardship and darkness, then I would encourage you to share your light with someone. Look for the opportunities to brighten and encourage. I this quote just about sums up my week at the Shine Retreat:
“A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.” ~ James Keller

Today is our next step our journey through the Shine Retreat as told by the eyes of the host! I have made my intention to focus on the journey, rather than the final destination, so I’m taking you along with me! Today, I have realized how exceptionally fortunate I am to have an amazing support system to get me through this new season. I would have never have made it to this point in my journey without them.

It is such a joy to be back with you after a month’s hiatus. This month, I’m going to dare to do something a little different—my vision is to take you through the Shine Retreat by recording my thoughts during the retreat. Think of it as an “audio journal” of my journey through a new and exciting challenge. I am excited to have you guys on this journey with me.
