WAKE UP WORDS: SEPTEMBER 2, 2021

BE A LIGHT. How do we make a difference when it feels like the world is crumbling around us? We choose to be a light. We rise above the drama on social media. We take a break from the news. We look people, even strangers, in the eye and smile. We are present with friends and family. We refuse to gossip or delight in sharing bad news. We choose to love people, more than we love our own opinions. We take a step back and choose to see the big picture. The world needs our light now more than ever! There are SO MANY things aimed to divide us - don’t allow it! The person standing in front of you is never your enemy. When we can look past the “issues” and intentionally see the person we bridge the gap and our light shines bright. In a time when so many are addicted to outrage and negativity- let’s refuse to fit in! Let’s be Outsiders today, rebels who refuse to be brought down by our surroundings! Today our mission is to love, encourage, lift up, smile, be warm and inviting, to show up 100 % and BE A LIGHT! You can do it! We’re with you and we love you!
