I am sure many of you know the lyrics to the song, “This Little Light Of Mine.” As I started think about what I want to write this morning this song came to mind. I feel like my light is a bit dim right now! My mom has been in ICU with an aortic aneurysm and I have had some other really hard situations brewing in the background!

Nonetheless, I plan to keep on keepin’ on! I Googled this song this morning and in this particular version of the song it says, “Jesus is the light.” I needed to hear that. I am going to go ahead and believe that the best choice is to leave the hard parts in the good Lord’s hands!

I made a short video clip on my YouTube channel on Tuesday morning. I didn’t get to it Monday because I was in Wichita with my siblings and my mom at Wesley Medical Center. I posted the video to YouTube and shared it to my blog site and Facebook pages. By that afternoon, I decided to take down the video. Video hasn’t been my favorite way of putting my message out into the world. I am an emotional, highly sensitive Empath! Sometimes it’s hard to portray a video message the way I hope to. I don’t want anyone to feel sorry for me. I want my messages to be a light to others. That being said, I have decided to just write for now! I feel like writing is very healing for me and hopefully to those that read what I write as well!

I also feel myself taking a step back from social media and my daily posts. I have realized (as I have gotten older and wiser😉) how important self care is! I need some time to regroup and be gentle with myself!

I hope and plan to get back to video and possibly even live videos in the future. It is said that audio is the most popular way for people to receive content. I am guessing because it’s such a fast-paced world we live in!

It was recommended by my brother, Rob and our talk therapist, Bruce to continue to record a short video clip weekly and revisit them in the future! I admire both Rob and Bruce and am going to take that advice!

So if you are one of the people in the world who likes to read, I am grateful to have you on board!

I know that the struggle I feel today will be my strength in the future! I just have to press through the hard parts and believe the best is yet to come!

I have decided it’s my calling to share how I have faced many different challenges and adversities in my life. I have been told in talk therapy that what I am currently going through is A LOT! As well as, what I have gone through throughout my life! I must believe that what’s been put in front of me is because I have the ability to handle it- even when it feels like things are coming unraveled! One step at a time, I am gonna let it shine.. this lil’ light of mine!!

I encourage you to let your light shine!

Stay Rosy, Amber
